I'm in 2 minds....
I should just fix my cam and give her a good service!
But I been looking at red top's!
I know I can afford to buy one... Fit it all but then struggle with insurance and petrol!
But I just love the look of the engine!
I need to stick with my 1.2 for at least 1 more year
!

if your in 2minds and too worried about it happening again y dont u try get hold of a cheap 1.2/1.4 block probs cost the same as getting new cam kit from a scrappy.
insurance is only a killer if u declaire it.
petrol isnt too bad on the redtops u get about 24/26 miles per £5 which isnt much diff from a 1.4
