Just getting some quotes for my next acquisition..... Sub £200 Fully Comp for an 8v. it's actually dearer to insure 3rd Party

Anyway, with any luck I'll be back in the land of no luggage space by the end of the month while I run around in it before I finish the Vario

I guess married, 28, 11yrs licence, 8yrs NCB, 0 points, 0 claims helps.

Looking forward to an easy drive to work. As my wife said "you've wanted an 8v for ages" - just as well I've got my valver for fun too. I'll bet I keep them both for a while.

Must try not to ruin this one.

Is it going to stay standard??

ish

maybe a set of 312's or 280's (I have either to choose from) - suspension will be required no doubt - but that'll do I think

maybe some wheels.

and maybe a nicer head unit.

and ARB's

if I keep it i'll squirt it. it's a simple enough setup.

Will stick my V2.2 on the 8v, then upgrade the vario to the V3 if I go along the plan I have for that.

What do you guys mean by squirt? Some sort of nitrous or something?
