Trace,

we have a saab as a runaround, but I run my 4x4 sapph every day, hence it's stg 1 for reliability.

Nat's is stg 3 so we drive it slightly less often.

As for shows, well, if it's not too far (1 to 1.5 hours drive), we typically take both, if it's further we'll only take one. Same for meets, although we usually only take one so I can have a few beers

Obviously, running three cars means three insurance policies, three tax discs, etc... so the costs do add up.
And taking two to shows means extra fuel and maintenance costs and double the risk of breaking down

But I'd say it's worth it, what you thinking of doing ?

As per what the froggy said really. But its sooooooo cool. With 2, at least when one breaks down (cause you still have to be realistic.... THEY DO!! ) then you always have the other one to drive about.... well that's the theory anyway!!

And Trace.... your parcel is in the post... had forgotten til last night.... sowy...

cheers guys. I wasnt looking at another cossie, but this one has come up and been offered to me for decent money, so i'm gona go have a lookie this weekend.

fook it, i'd pay the higher tax and insurance is only hundred pound dearer for a big break cossie to the 220bhp bmw - might aswell stick with the rs badge.

gona go look at it soon and see how different the 2wd is to the 4x4 and make my mind up! just got to argue with Neil over the garage now
