It is because insurance is REALLY expensive for broadcasters

Did I read someone saying about a dump valve - diesels don't need them amirite?

Its almost as bad as people wanting winter wheels, why would you need a run around unless you have something classic or more econimical for work?

My Xe got used every winter regardless and I didnt ponce around with winter wheels etc.

Car is deffo a bargain though

I havent dissed anyone?

Generally speaking its rediculous to have a run around for a Corsa unless its a track/stripped out and un usuable for winter?

tallest man on CS goes to Jay Carr IMO

I live at the top of a Valley and drove my XE'd Corsa in the snow every year just think at the end of the day its a car you spend on it to use it end of.

If it was a Series one RST or an Escort Cossie I could undertsand locking it away for winter.

I am not dissing anyone or singling anyone out, just saying its pointless IMO

I was joking that you dissed Jay. As he drives your old car only in the dry. And rightly too, it's mint.

Never mind.

I don't give a fuck about driving mine through the winter.

I have a problem with leaving it in the middle of Southampton with peoples savage car doors on the run up to Christmas. Already paid £140 for one repair to the rear 3/4 panel...

No more.

I dont see the point in winter run abouts, unless your summer cars got no roof or heater or summit

Needs an exaust and abit of welding hear and thier but its all in the process.

The LET is just abit pointless at times when the conditions turn bad ill drive this as a car which i couldnt give 2 shits about a dented panel in this car will stay dented i hate spending out on cars that need paint and panels (dead money), will be a laugh if nothing else.

I've heard these are good on fuel? anything has to be better than the LET though. The tutorial i think will come in handy on this one

I can run this and save money for an f28 with a lsd as the current box has seen better days
