Default People with 2nd cars.

What car do you drive as your run about/ day to day/ shitter car?

And how have you got them insured? If I can get my RST on a classic policy, I am laughing...

Hmmmmmm, I have been looking at some 535i Sports, with Air Con. I saw a really nice one for around £1500. I am hoping to get the RST on a Classic Policy and use my NCB on another car to use for work.

I only want something to run about in, but is also nice to drive, something like Sapphire Cosworth will do...




Thanks guys, keep them coming

You will need a booster seat to see the end of the bonnet, and some leg extensions

I only paid £1200 for it, fully stamped bmw service book some receipts yrs mot 3 months tax excellent condition, full leather interior etc etc

LOL @ RS2k, sorry Alex

Thanks for the info Benn. I would prefer something with Air Con, you know what that road is like by Kings College Hospital. ALWAYS sitting in that traffic

I also found a special edition 5 series with Recaro leather and cruise for £1500, some nice bargins out there. OR, I could just keep stealing Mum's Mondeo, but it's a slug.

Wide variety of cars there.

I will probably buy something old, and just insure it for TPF+T. I don't want to spend too much on a second car.
