+1 for the cheap diesel and Z as second car
I bought a Renault laguna sport 1.9 TDI for £300 as it needed cambelt, major service and only had 3rd and 4th gear it now owes me £600 inc buying it as i did all the work and rebuilt the gearbox, done 6k faultless now, its great for running around, long trips, chucking tools and the dog etc in and it runs on veggi oil so costs me around 60p a litre
That is also 6k that would of been in the Z through the winter, instead she is/was all wraped up cosy in the garage ready for the sunshine,.......... both days of it anyway!
