I haven't a clue who i'd use for one tbh, but since you got a low insurance quote for one, i'll be ringing that company to find out what it'll be like for me

Not sure if i want to import one or get one that's already over here, the seats worry me though, as they seem to wear quite easily so would need to be 100% if i was to get one

my mate bought a scooby from them, found out it was fucked.. took it back but they wouldnt give him the money they said pick something else, so he got a better model scooby and paid a bit more..gave him the parents address as they had a garage and off he went with the keys
when he got to his rents there was a van outside the house, parked his car in the garage, they asked him for the keys he said fuck off and went inside came out with his old man and they had fucked off..
he parked it at a mates house since and its a good job because the garage was broken into 5 times to get the car.. so he sold it..
the only ppl that knew where his rents lived was keighley trade centre..
i will never use them.

Yeh i've noticed that aswell, but im not too fussed i'd jsut buy some other recaro's or something.
That seems the only bad point tbh. I've only seen one out of maybe 15 with mint seats.

I know a lad who bought what looked like a mint red corsa gsi on speedlines
he got it home and found there wasnt much left under the gsi kit, its was rotten
and it apparently had a brand new MOT and inspection by the garage

My friend bought a subaru from Keighley trade centre a few year bak. A few days after he had it, dodgy cars started follwing him, sitting outside his house and even at his girflriends. I did always think it was strange he was sold the car with only one key for it and no spare. Anyway to cut a long story short, they attempted numerous times to break into the garage, even though it was alarmed to buggery...... he thinks it was some blokes to do wi the garage attempting to steal the car back, they would not of needed to cause any damage as my friend suspected them of having the spare key. anyway it got so bad, him been followed around he got shut of it.
