Why run a car at university anyway? Sell the Fazer, scrap the car, use a bicycle to get everywhere. If you can't do the 20 miles to work then get a job closer to where you live.
£200 per month for fun? Enjoy - one day you'll have kids and that will seem like a luxury!
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - Dead Eye - 20-06-14
Cycling is something I used to do loads and could easily accomplish the 20 miles. Whilst its summer you don't even have to combat bad weather and its certainly cheaper. The job though is a placement, so not much choice in the matter for it, so that I understand.
But yeah, £200 per month as "disposable income" is actually a lot more than you think it is. I bet a lot of people on here don't have that

Gonna add my tuppence worth here, if I had £200 a month to play with I'd be more than happy but I don't so hey ho.
If I was you I would keep project Fazer as that my project and get it up and running the way I wanted it to look and run, 20 miles on a cheap chinese bike is doable no problem, if you don't need transport for any further distances why bother, I would scrap the Pug as all you are going to do is throw good money after bad at it and it will not be worth a penny more and will always need more money thrown at it.

Just a thought....

Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - ogri48 - 21-06-14
Lordy nick, sidecars have come on considerably since the old " sidewinder" blokes used to use to get around the seventies learner laws..
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - nick crisp - 21-06-14
Well, wasn't actually thinking that Christo needs one to get around any laws, but it did occur to me that he has the ingredients sitting around for a, er.... :think Yamageot.....or, a Peugaha :lol
Maybe his parents would be happy with that solution
:lol
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - red98 - 21-06-14
come on guys....hes already tried that........remember the merc :lol :lol :lol
that looks well made,but with one wheel on the other side might look a bit odd...
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - ChristoT - 21-06-14
I would quite happily drive that, Nick!
Ogri, that is incredibly kind, I might well take you up on it! I think I might have gone to your mate's lot back in January... To look at a 106! Not the one I got, as the clutch was quite worn. But still!

WTF? I thought for a moment it was one of those cautionary posters about accidents between bikes and cars!
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - ChristoT - 21-06-14
Well, looks like I'll be back in a car. And looks like it will be a Peugeot 206. Hardly the result I was hoping for, but that's life.
Hey Ogri, check out the French-made Zeus. They are bizarre looking things! But kinda cool!
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - Dead Eye - 22-06-14
The 206's aren't terrible little cars, but they have their idiosyncrasies
The 2L HDi engine is pretty bullet proof though

I'm mainly looking at petrol: 1.1, 1.4 are affordable, and I'm waiting to hear back on insurance for the 2.0 GTI.
Re: God, I hate this pile of shite - Dead Eye - 22-06-14
I can't see you being able to afford the 2.0 GTi and the 1.1 petrol is false economy - you have to rag it so hard to get anywhere that you lose any MPG gains unless you drive like a nun. You have a heavy right foot, so that puts you firmly at the opposite end of the scale. Also note that the 1.6 HDi has lower MPG and is actually a higher insurance group compared the the 2.0 HDi, which makes no sense...
