ive got a 620ti and mx5 mk1, i live about 16 miles from uni, but thats really the only travelling i do, keep the tubby and do the servicing yourself

Off topic, but how long have you had the Ti and how much has it broken? I've had mine for 3 months and I'm on my 2nd alternator and the gearbox has already been off

Keep the tubby, and they are reliable(ish) common issues aside, but every car has those I suppose

Does yours have a Klinger? Steel caged gearbox?

Fix those two weak spots and a T16 Turbo should be pretty much trouble free

Check, and check

Box had every bearing replaced in it.

I picked up a Rover 220SD the other day with tax and test.

For 100 quid.

It's stupidly economical. It's also stupidly slow.

Should have got an SDi, makes a big difference.

Shame one side of the car currently sits lower than the other - well front end :|

Suspension? I know its obvious, but are the tyres the same size?

Pies, eat less of them.

Go out, get a boring small engined hatchback of some kind.
Theres your student car, it'll be so cheap you'll have money left for repairs.
