JONGSR4 had an Lancer Evolution 2 (260bhp, 0-60 5.0secs, 150mph) at 19. It can be done but its expensive.
Sinclair C5
on £220 a week not worth it, save your money mate, its no fun not having two coins to rub together.
I bought a Mitsi FTO at 19, group 20 insurance.
To get the car i took out a 5 year loan and SOOOOOOOOOOO wish i hadnt!
Im in the second year of the loan and im sooo restricted with money! To move out my parents and get my own flat ive had to sell the car and go back to my 16V, and now im left with a massive debt and no car!!
Be careful!.......I did have a wicked six months with the FTO tho!
mate at work had a focus RS at 20 and now has a mitsi evo8 fq300 at 21,
and i know some1 who has a valver with a williams engine at 18, that must be pricier than a williams and thats with no no-claims
buy a willy coloured valver
i could buy a willy coloured valver, but i want the actual car, i want that power, the handling.. i wanna hav a willy like, n just proper keep it in good nick, clean it every week, have it in garage nice n warm! make it worth some cash n then go for a drive, just would be ace!
Sinclair C5
just think when your mates are going down the pub having a laugh and you have to stay in to pay your loan off , still be so keen to clean it and stuff then??
no car is worth it mate (in my opinion) the novelty will soon wear off but the 5 years of payments wont go away..............

Buy my Willified 2.0ltr Valver for £3250 willy engine come out of a williams 3 and has only done 52k
Its only insurance Gp 13 iirc
Its not a williams if thats what you mean. Its a hybrid like mine.
Mine has got full williams interior but dont have the wheels or stickers thou or the w**k sticker on the engine.
That one has got williams dials but no gear knob interior or carpet and i doubt it has got the seat belts either.
Arch will cost you approx £300 depending on where you go, mine cost £310 last year when i got my drivers rear arch replaced.

If you can comfortably afford it, then go for it.
Save up for it mate (not that e-bay junk). Dont sell your b**locks to the devil to have a car that you eventually cant afford to run or if you can afford to run it means that you cant afford to do anything else (like go out at the weekend).
Remember its an old hot hatch at the end of the day and most people buy hot hatches to use the performance (i.e. rag them) and not to tootle to the shops. Things will go wrong/break and if its pushing your budget to the limit just to buy/insure it youll be left with an expensive immobile lounge.

Get yourself some bitches, put them on the streets and you will be able to afford any pimp-mobile you want then.
