Indeed. (Though I am quite keen on the small ones, too.)

I'm tempted to go for a drive just to get myself properly wound up by people driving at 3mph, crashing everywhere, spinning their wheels on 1mm of snow, etc.

Sounds like fun, in an infuriating sort of way. I took these pictures just after dropping my car off to get some cosmetic damage repaired - a Volvo backed into me in a car park, and now I need a new bonnet and some serious dent-repair on the passenger-side wing - so there'll be no snow shenanigans for me this time.

Is your car the 406 in the pic or do you still have the 106?

I've still got the 106; the 406 just so happened to be sitting in the car park of a nearby pub. I've considered a 406 for my next car a few times, but I just don't think it'd be exciting enough to drive, with my general preference for tiny, light hatches. I've narrowed my options down to either a 306 XS 1.8 - I can't insure anything more powerful for the mo - a Saxo VTR, or a Mark 4 facelift/5 Fiesta Zetec S.
Honestly, there's a decent chance I'm just gonna stick with the 106 for another year or so, at least until I can afford the insurance on a 106 GTi.

Yeah, probably makes sense to wait it out if it's not about to fall to pieces. Why the Zetec-S rather than the Puma?
(I found Alfa Romeos to be bizarrely cheap to insure, btw, so the 145/146/147 could be worth a look if you've not thought about those)

The Zetec S is, for whatever reason, a good deal cheaper to insure. I'd go for a Puma, otherwise—they're quite a bit easier to find.
Thanks for the Alfa tip!

I guess car insurance is the one good thing about suddenly realising I'm becoming an old bastard (well, getting scarily close to 30 anyway) with nothing to show for it.
