yes i have been looking at quad lights, but saying that, they seem to be getting cheap!!! I am gonna hold out till nearer christmas, maybe grab a bargain nearer that time, still wouldnt mind having a ride in one to see how good they are!!!

theres a few at 3.5k which is ono, so maybe get a glanza, but i must admit i like the quad light ones too! wats the rough mpg if you dont thrash it eveywhere? also what tax bracket are they in is it 120 per yr? I know it sounds trivial, but i got a house to pay for, so it all adds up!!!

anybody around junction 28 then that wouldnt mind showing me their car? not a test drive or owt, but maybe a ride to see how good they are!! I had all this when I had my FTO, but got rid due to expenses! these should be alot cheaper to run and that, whats is an approx mpg??/ I would prefer ( i think) a glanza, but i do like the quad light GT's too!! I may have about 3k to spend, but at the minute I aint even got a car, just a stupid mountain bike, that i have to ride 7 miles to get to work and back and it sux but is good on the pocket!!!!

I have been contemplating buhying a glanza for ages, I might be in a position to bu on at the start of november! I would like to know if anyone got any pointers : I am worried if something goes wrong, or i need work doing on it, if there is any place near where i live that anyone knows, i live in the Mansfield / Sutton In Ashfield area? do u get loads of probs wiv police and shit gettin pulled all the time? would be added peace if mind if theres a specialist somewhere near me, incase something goes wrong, i have no luck with bloody cars!!! cheers for reading Husko

mate thats sexy as foook!! im still looking for my first glanza, you found a beauty there!!!

As for the quotes, Ive asked for a requote, I can use my policy that has 9 yrs NCB on it and swap my 1 yr NCB to my missus car ( citreon xsara HDI!!broom broom lads) cheers for that info enzo,not having a turbo before i dont get all this ep 82 thing, but ill learn, 1 1/2 years its took to make that camper what it is, I bought it for 3000 as a shed, I have loads of pics from the build, which was in 3 stages because of the cost,I have spent many a night outside plumbing iun sink and drains and fitting cupboards, if any of you are interested in campers/beetles : www.volkstorque.co.uk www.volkszone.co.uk I was looking for a beetle to replace the van, but I want something that has a turbo now I think, if you wanna Ill post up loads of pics of the build, theres even a subaru powered beetle and bay window for sale at the minute I believe. Anyway , thanks for the warm welcome everyone, soz for not knowing what a starlet was till a few week back !!, and hopefully Ill get a go in one and maybe buy one. Cheers Husko

Bay vans are proper kewl, but this thing bled me dry of all my hard earnt savings, the welding, the spray job ( with a bit of glitter) the new units, sink,new seats, electric water etc etc bed lcd TV cost me a bomb, and it kept breaking down to be fair, very unreliable, BUT the best fun ever!!!

Yes mate sorry for the confusion, I havent had a FTO for a while,got rid last year for the camper, so the FTO is now Diablos of Derby ao it still knocks about round here, I did JAE 2005 and 2006, not this year, but still, I didnt even know what a starlet really was until a couple of weeks ago so probably still wouldnt have noticed mate TBH! Just had a reply for the quote, £880, not a chance Mr Adrian Flux, thats only with 1 yrs no claims, but I have 10 from my other policy, see what diff it makes to change it Husko.

where can i get some quotes from for insurance!! Ive used adrian fluxx before? what do u guys find the best?

missed your stand at JAE, seen the micra boys bless them! I dunno what Im after, just a kewl , cheap to run little car, other than these Im looking at a pre 1973 beetle, but they cost loads to mod up with decent engines and twin carbs on! Theres a GT ( i think) in pinxton I like the look of, Ill try and flag him/her down, need to see how well they go! Husko

also, I see the little differences between the 2 versions in the 2 links i have put, whats the differences between them for performance wise, does 1 cost more to mod because of different parts?, does 1 go better? this is fun, its like the 2 months research I did before I got my FTO!!! loads of noob Q's!!!! Husko

this was my FTO, did JAE last yr and year before, but I always noticed the discos and proper mad parties were never in the FTO field, always looked more fun at the subaru site (and fitter girls!) etc : went from that FTO to this camper that i restored myself: need something pokey and rapid, so ill get a drive in one thats modded and see what I think, thanks for the help Husko

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-Toyota-Starlet-...1QQcmdZViewItem i like the look of this one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/toyota-starlet-gt-tu...1QQcmdZViewItem think this white one os my favourite thats kinda what I think im after

kewl, well I know its a bit different from the crowd when I was in FTO owners club and JAE and other meets, they were too boring and serious, I like a laugh and Im always getting bollocked for acting daft, I aint ever had a turbo car, hence the interest, they are pretty cheap, and I presume not bad on fuel and insurance, I got 12 yrs no claims and plenty of coin so Im gonna get one I reckon!!! Like I say, Ive never had a turbo car, ( cant count the HDI turbo diesel I have !!) so not sure what it should look like or run like, I might need some help if I spot one thats nice, by the way what about ebay, I have seen a few nice ones on there with some mod's like induction kit, straight thru stainless no cat, boost timer and stuff, are these things something that make it more appealing, or is it better to get a " fresh " import and do them yourself cheers for the warm welcome, hopefully I ll get one ( but i do have more fads than anyone so this may not last!) how quick are these beasts aswell? Ive been told that they are quicker than WRX etc etc? Husko

Hello guys and gels, Been looking at maybe buying a glanza for a month now, Ive just got rid of my FTO GPX and like the look of a starlet too many ( old folkes)!, dont know much about these, but all I know is I want a turbo car and I aint bothered about a scooby because everyone has them, hence why I think the starlet looks kewl, not many about round here anyway. Anyone got any tips on looking at them, anyone got one on here around the Alfreton area ( derbyshire ) where I might be able to have a peek at ? also am I too old for 1, Im 30 and supposed to be grown up now, but Im still like a clown and 18 at heart!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers Husko
