I've already said he has good mechanical knowledge and could help me. But he has never restored a Mini, not in the condition I was talking about, so he did not know what costs could involved.
Thanks, are you just looking at Piston Heads/Autotrader?
You don't need to restore the exact car to have a vague idea how much a resto would cost.
When do your lessions start?

Of course you do, my dad wouldn't know how much specific mini parts would cost for example such as door panels etc.
My lessons start when I have decided what driving school to go with, and when I have checked the financial viability thoroughly of getting a car when I have passed my test, or a few months after.
Since when is two thousand pounds relative to a 'banger'?
As I said your mother drives a Daewoo so your term of banger will not be £2000.
You do know how averages work, don't you?
yeah that's right, very witty of you
OK well show us then. What do you now about cars? If it's loads then surely you can give us some examples to give us an idea of your knowledge? We only have your previous posts to go on and with that information I have surmised you know very little, certainly not loads. You are a well known spammer here who seems to crave attention* and it appears that motors is your new domain.
*Yes I know, the irony is I'm just giving you the attention you want
So you're not planning booking any on lessions yet?

Most people who run classics will not think it's a bad idea.
Here are some more ideas easy to spanner, easy to get parts for and well within your budget: Morris Minor, Ford 100E, Triumph Herald, Austin A35, MG Midget. Probably loads more.

My mum doesn't drive a Kia, my step mum drives a Matiz. edit, nice ninja edit.
most things under about 4k are a "banger" to me. That's not to say everything under that price is a banger though. Classics for example I wouldn't call bangers if there in OK condition. But a 90s vectra I would call a banger.
Yes, I would assume in this case it would be using the mean.
Just because they are old if they were around now dosen't make them classic, back then they were just 'cars' or 'old bangers'.
What? Your Mums car wasn't much more than that brand new. You are not doing much of a job of enhancing your credibility here..
A 90's Vectra is a £900 car not a several thousand pound car.
within the next few weeks.
No, they had some in the late 90s, still got some Minis, but got rid of there Triumphs in 2000 I think.
AHAHAHAHAHA.
