Might be getting a new car if the finance approves this week, i will be getting a more cost effective car

the renault megane.

Its a 1.5litre turbo diesel brand new although its been pre registerd with the 55 plate its got just 24 miles on the clock.

It costs now just £667 a year to insure and £50 to tax and diesel is alot more fuel efficent and cost effective.

Now compair that to my old car!

My old car is a rover 827si a V6 engine with 2.7 liter sports injection (2,724cc) cost to tax was last year £175 as of this year £225 insurance stood me at over £2,150 per year on my fathers insurance, on my own 3rd party fire and theft £5,549 per year.

Why not get a Smart Car? Half a car, half the expense.

Funny but i pictured Kapitan in a Boss Mustang 357 V8 with one arm on the steering wheel and the other round some sexy babe - doing 90 in a 50km zone.

Also, because the Megane won't do as much damage in an accident as your current vehicle. It's a bit lighter weight. Your gonna love that car though. It takes turns like a champ! I wish the US would have let me keep mine I had in Italy. I had to scrap it before I came home though.

On a serious note, if I lived in England and had to get a car, this is what I'd buy,
The Ariel Atom

a it costs 29 thousand pounds and is faster than a Porsche Carrera GT

check out this , it's an insane car, and it's road legal!
