Scumball

[insurance_jon]

After sweating a lot of blood and tears, myself, Omar and The Reverend himself present to you the Anti Gumball

www.scumball.co.uk

1000 miles, in a car worth less than a grand, and a day pissing about at the ring. For approx £500 all in. Are any of you up for it. Even if you aren't feel free to register on the forum and have a laugh with us. Remember that the forum went live today so it needs a few posts to liven the place up

also on the forum I'm Jon, not Lockyer/Insurance Jon as you know me as already!

The pencilled in date for this is 7/7/06, but we are waiting for a couple of events such as Goodwood to decide when they are on.

Enjoy!

One lurid green 1970's Mini = £600

Various mods and go faster bits = £4572

Minimax galloping down the autobahn at 102 1/2 mph = priceless

[insurance_jon]

Mmmmmmm :newshoes: :scourebayafterworkscheduleischecked:

When I know the prices and final dates I can give an answer. Suffice to say it's interesting and might be the excuse I need to get a cheap bangernomics/track PoS

Is it really worth £600?

in total, not including buying it, it has cost me north of £15,000 keeping that bloody thing on the road and upgrading it as I go along hey ho.

but I luuurve it though

i'm currently in a huge decision making stage about my next car purchase, on the list so far:

F348 (probably oughtn't to just yet)

S1 elise (unreliable, return to square one Mr minimax)

S2 elise (not that fast for 15k)

S2 elise 111R (not that fast for 28k!!!)

TVR of any type (unreliable, back to 3 grand servicing again)

'80's porsche 911 (unreliable but look so cool)

996 carrera (servicing, insurance)

renaultsport clio 182 trophy (it's a clio...even if it has just been rated as one of the best ever drivers cars by evo..and would be cheap to insure and service...nooo! it's a clio!)

nissan 350Z (hmmm. might be a bit soft though..)

boxster (haha. nooo way. not dealing with those comments from you lot!)

real problem at the moment as you can see

anyway, sorry for the hijack, i'm now off to join the forum

I'll do it! But Leeds managed to bankrupt me today, lunch cost 40 quid alone

[insurance_jon]

[xiphias]

[fridaypassion]

[v15ben]

Good luck with the search Tom, looks like you might need some

[insurance_jon]

not seeing as I sold it a year ago. I only kept it for 7 weeks, soemone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Got a 360 modena and an A8 now. Plus there is the £1k limit on the Scumball
