Strangely the gearbox is of more worry and importance to me as after trying a 6 speed and a 5 speed i just got to have a 6 they are a wonderful giggle in comparison to the 5 as i like changing gear

i think the ideal car would be just now a

1.4 or 1.6k series
6 speed box
dion axle
LSD
full weather gear
heater
4 point harnesses

nice seats and other goodies are basically benfits

i want the heater and weather gear as it is bloody cold up here at times so i'm not a softy.

I think that a superlight would be just too damn fast for a beginner as the one i was in was mind warp acceleration and it was only 140Bhp. I can't wait to get a ride in one that is in edinburgh that is full carbon bits and a 1.8 running on throttle bodys kicking out about 200bhp

To those not familar with a 7 200bhp sounds like nothing but they wiegh about 500kg so imagine a 3 series BMW with about 600bhp and you get the idea.
