[quote=SeanB]Bloody hell, a 24 yr old girl asks for advice and the queue of people falling over themselves to help out is round the block, always makes me laugh on car forums.

Yes, true, but we’ve all been very well behaved and no ones asked…
She’s not called Stretchbolt for nothing!
Play nice Gentlemen!
More than my life’s worth to do otherwise I can assure you.

Arise, Sir Damon! 
Hello all, Stretchbolts other half here…
(I wonder whether i will get so much helpful advise and support from you guys!)
We are due to view X553WCH in Holland this weekend. The car was bought from Essex by the current Dutch owner two years ago. It can be seen on Pistonheads classifieds, the Lazer blue S1.
Thanks for all the advice re insurance. Due to Carlys age, Admiral has come out on top with a quote of �920 ish per year based on a joint policy with our Audi S4 and paying annually, frightningly more if paid monthly.
Fingers crossed the car lives up to its description now, and we can look forward to meeting some of you in the near future…

Hi Stretchmark
Good luck - hope car fits the bill, & enjoy your trip to Holland 
PS Friendly banter (as well as advise) is the oeder of the day here, despite the impression given by Sir Damon! LOL!
Hehe, boys will be boys.
As the other half says - Thanks very much for all your help.
P.S Have any of you got any tips (specifics) on any checks thats not the norm when looking at a car, for the S1? You never know - If he isn’t up to it I may have to ditch the other half and will have a spare ticket to Holland
