You're well behind with semen jokes, I've had all those already.

Unfortunately I was quite limited in terms of available cherished numbers that:

1) Had 130-N in them
2) Were in the £100 price bracket.

Obviously HMN-130-N would have been ace, but that wasn't available.

Personal plates are for losers, car based plates are just for nerds, so not quite as bad.

I was starting at Come On i30n

Why did you get a number plate that refers to the car when you will likely keep it under a year?

Oh wait, if you got a personal one you’d have to spend £80 every six months swapping it onto different cars. Fair enough.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Perhaps the factory is right on the border, and they make some parts of it in one and some parts in the other.

Speaking of gearboxes, the 745i had a minor smoke and mild fire issue the other day and the gearbox is shagged. It's up on ebay for spares or repair, and i'm on the hunt again!

MX5 all the way. It'll probably work properly, end up owing you nothing and will be the most fun over the summer.

Yeah, I like bangernomics, I've done the new/expensive car thing in the past, but I do roughly 3000 miles a year these days so it's just a waste of money having something sitting in the car park that costs me £300-400 a month to do nothing. I don't have the cash in the bank to drop any sort of money on a new car, so it would have to be financed.

For comparison, even though the 7 series has shit the bed, it has cost me the equivalent of £180-200 a month.

I only like having a nice car because I do the drive over the mountain 5-6 days per week (sometimes 7 days per week, and sometimes more than once per day).

Define "nice" I'd call a top of the range 7 series pretty nice...

Legend, I'd happily have one of those, but they don't come up for sale very often and the banger price point.

Hyundai Sonata? Err... No.

Right up to the bit where it sets on fire.

I couldn't live with a car that I know is likely to break in some horrible way at some point, not least because I cover a 24 hour on call shift one week per month so I need my car to just work and be able to get me anywhere on the island I need to get to without fuss or failure, at any time of day or night.

Hyundai Coupe. Four banger is a bit slow but the later GK V6 has a bit more poke. They're ace to drive too, like a big overgrown gokart.

i was going to suggest that, £1500 seems to get a fairly nice one with sensible miles. Even the V6 only has 167bhp though!

Small fuel tank and not enough storage space. It’s the beginning of the end already!

I was reliably informed "TWO YEARS"
