Yeah deffo.
like I say each to there own.
I think its something you have to know what you want before you start.
My early ibiza's i just kept standard. The main reason being all my money was going else where and i just couldnt afford it and didnt want my car to look like it had ram raided halfords....if i had the cash back then i would have aimed at something like cruiser 87. It looks nice and i never needed to be anywhere in a hurry.
I am more than happy to learn from other people's mistakes.
Its Craig btw. Im thinking of just keeping the 1.4 for a while longer as I use it pretty much everyday and it doesnt cost a fortune on few etc. Maybe in a few years I will get something else with alot more power to use as a weekend car. Got alot of plans over the 1.4 over the next 6 months anyway
