elaine if you do join the raf i wouldnt recomend having 2 cars.

my brother is in the army and hardly drives his car. he dont get to come home very often he prob comes home every few months

Very different situations Ricky when I was in teh Navy and in the UK I was home every weekend... The GT is staying but if I do get in she will be my track toy :D so a everyday car is needed :)

Lol boys your not helping by saying about getting a GT or such like.

Super Mod (極度の調整器)
Get something that's been converted to LPG. Go on to Autotrader, adjust the options and have a look... Diesel's too bloody expensive at the moment.

My mate's just spent £3.8k on an limited edition LPG 150bhp 1.8 turbo (petrol) Skoda Octavia estate, with leather, sat-nav, xenons, cruise control, 7-speaker stereo with sub, FSH etc etc etc... Can't get a more reliable, practical, comfortable car in my opinion...

when i went to warp speed tuning the guy told me about lpg coversions.. he told me that they give your car more power and is ALOT more healthy for the engine internals and so on and lasts longer because it burns slowly!

I would probably go for comfort and fuel economy if you are covering lost of miles.

I've covered a lot of miles before with different jobs and when it comes round to it, I just wanted something presentable, comfortable, lowest combined running costs and a bit of puff for overtaking.

Golf, passat (nice tdi), audi A4, Audi A2 (personal taste but for that you could afford a petrol model - still very good on petrol and I think they look cool).

If you go for a weaker brand, I would probably pay a lot less than £4k otherwise you would loose cash on it as soon as you racked up miles unless you can find a low miler.

Tdi Golf

There is someone on here looking to swap a Tdi Golf for a Glanza or gt
Thanks lads I am very greatful for your help I like the look of the Golf and Seat I need something that will be nice to drive on the motor way and something that is easy to look after, as I will be away a lot and I am a bit picky about having ppl work on my car, I might have to get my hands dirty and do my own services :(

I dont want leather had it in the 200 never again!!!
