hello fellow retro riders, yes this is that kind of thread I have a list of automobiles that I wish to purchase and I feel I show share my dilemma with the nation.
So currently I am driving a 93 vw vento but I fancy a change, how ever there is a few factors interwoven within my selection
1/ whatever I buy has to be post 1994 as my insurance company won't insure me in anything more than 20 years only (I'm only driving a 93 as I bought my insurance in December last year)
2/due to the rather ridiculous price of road tax in Ireland ideally I'd like something that falls under the 1 litre threshold (199 euro per year) as on a 1.4 I'm currently paying 385 euro a year
3/it has to under roughly 1000 euro (about 800 pounds)
4/ I want something I can lower and put silly wheels on
so with that
I give you my shortlist
k11 micra
the retro rides favourite little car

there a funky little curse word and in ireland I haven't seen many given the treatment
corsa B
they have a bit of a chavy image but parts are cheap and easily available

polo 6n
these I know and all my friends have had them but I kind of don't really want a vw even though its the easy option

I know under the polo bracket falls the seat ibiza and arosa so they could make a change but in keeping with what I know

So what do people think? also if you can think of another car that sort of falls in this let me know
