Thats true im thinking of moving just to get insured. I heard some insurance companies are doing an open driver poilcy where any one with a full valid uk licence is insured to drive the car with the owners permission, im going to give them a call just want to be insured for the next 2/3 months and then garage the car up cause of the such shiet british weather

, Good luck with the conversion just make sure the insurance companies are notified with the conversion lool

I get them as well, they cannot accept that a law abiding E30 owner is driving home from work at 3am giving it some beans....I mean,when else can you drive with 'passion' but at dawn?
