Premium cost - £1900
Was a decent price considering mods but did get it a lot (£600) cheaper in the end, if I planned to do more mods i would definitely go with them. Plus they dont mind cages/stripped out.
I see, presumed since it had interchangeable lens it would work with the olympus slr len's but obviously not.
To me it seem a great money making exercise from olympus, you have to buy everything again.
Looks to take decent enough pictures, cant see any imperfections so to speak.
Might pop down and try it out tomorrow, can always sell it on if i dont like it :)
EDIT: Also, you used the kit lens for that pic :rasp:
Was thinking that, and have finally found some owners reviews on it and people have been reporting purple fringing(?), presume thats purple light leaking into the image?
Alternatives are a Canon IS for £400 or a sigma for £175
Wanting a zoom lens and a macro and have been recommended this by my uncle, I would normally take his advice but he is also the person that convinced me to make the mistake of buying my old Samsung GX10 last year.

Seems a bit...
Famous last words lol
Every car is a risk imo, know people who have blown engines in less than 6 months on brand new vw's and porsche's.
Just buy one with history, looks in good condition, get a mechanic friend to give it a once over and take it from there.
Aslong as you wont be tempted to take it out before your test, and your prepared for it being even worse if you fail first time with a car on the drive.
So far the 182 has been a lot more reliable, i'd get one of them lol
Presume you'd be looking at the 1.2 16v, I bought one 2 years ago for £2k, that was a 2001 model so using that logic you should get an 02/03 one now for £2k. When do you go 17, might aswell wait until then tbh.
Mine was a bag of crap tbh, every month a large part of my wage went on repairs...
Personally I prefer the 97 total stuff, car runs so much better on it compared to the tesco peasant fuel i was running up until a few weeks ago, especially in the cold weather with the RSTuner.
Have tried shell and bp versions when i first got it but didn't really notice any difference.
Good choice, I used to have them on the C2, only bad point was when it rained they significantly lost grip, more so than other tyres. Still, for the money they are the best I have tried.
Took my new camera out this morning and took some quick pictures, can be seen on my flickr set below but here are a few of my favourites.

As I drove into Haworth noticed this 4x4 which looked...
Nothing too spectacular since I didn't take any when we had more snow, Friday morning the car was completely covered.
Here's a couple from yesterday morning, car had been used late on Sunday:
And this is the van with a strip of snow removed yesterday morning:
Lol
Also very impressed with Jessops, let me handle all the camera's, plenty of staff, all camera's fully charged and ready to go and friendly knowledgeable staff (even had some of the staff's pictures printed out to show me), not like I expected a chain to be.
