Which one? Renault Meganne 1.6 RT Sport (with a missing S on the Starboard side!)
How much: £1400ish
Insurance: 900ish comp (don't ask)
Utter Love/Hate experience... every time we did any work on it something else that would have been simple to do at the same time would break! It taught me a lot about working on a car and probably saved me a multiple of it's cost in work I have/will do myself on other veichles as a direct result of it requiring things doing.

Which one? Suzuki Marauder GZ125
How much: £1014.67 (ebay)

Bullet proof if underpowered, the day before I sold it I parked up my Hornet and took it out for petrol and did over 80miles 'just for fun' and couldn't stop grinning.
