P.S. "Andy" is a funny name for a girl
That ugly bint out of Hudson Hawk managed OK with Andy (or was it Andi, or some other wanky spelling?)

Andie, in that case ;) (FWIW I believe 'Andi' and 'Andie' are usual for girls, 'Andy' for boys. No idea why I know that..)

OK OK
I'll show her these  ..... then you'll all be trouble  ;D ;D ;D

I'll formally introduce my daughter ............... Emily!  ;) ;) ;)

So .......
1000cc 3 pot or 1200cc 4 pot?  :-\ :-\ :-\

if possible 1.4 or at least 1.2..  in urgent conditions a cars acceleration can save lifes.. :y

You obvioulsy haven't seen the cost of car insurance in the UK  ;) ;) ;)
Admittedly young lads at work are younger than my daughter, but it's not uncommon for them to be paying over £4000 for 12 months insurance.

what the ....... :o :o :o

Chains can be a problem on both the 1.0 and 1.2 but cheap and easy to replace ;)

I had an 03 1.0 just before Christmas and thought it was ok around town but wouldn't fancy a long trip in one

.....
what the ....... :o :o :o

'Ben' (one of our young apprentices) is one of the reasons why we all pay ludicrous insurance premiums. He has an Astra of some sort that cost him £3800 to insure last year, needless to say he had an accident which makes this years premium over £5000  :o :o :o

Due to the insurance costs involved and the running cost. Would it be advisable to look at some of the makes? I know it's best to stick with what you know but you might be able to save "Ems" a few quid on insurance/running costs. Maybe a VW fox or one of the small Citroen/Peugeot tie ups. Even something jappycrappy make be idea. clit's aren't bad run arounds and if Daddies feeling flush (Em's give him that look, you know the one which will get you your way) buy the girl a VW Polo.

Chains are only a problem if there not serviced well  :y

Whose side are you on Dave?  :o :o :o Ems already has her Dad wrapped round her little finger  ::) ::) ::)  ;D ;D ;D

I've not completely discounted other makes yet, but as you say, it does help with what you know & a Vx Trade Club card  :y :y :y :y
