I have a vendetta against Midgets, they're really common where I live and clutter classic car shows (I.e. Oh, another MG). And the fanbbase are really quite a strange bunch, just people that want to be associated with a cheap classic car they didn't restore and know nothing about.
I'd take the triumph any day, they're more interesting and much more desirable! If you weren't oppressed by insurance prices I'd champion the Triumph Stag because they're beautiful and so comfortable.
Nevertheless it's an X reg 1.0 Polo for me. Fully comp £1100 for my second year with Hastings. Had a tracker on my first and it was £1800. I got fined £100 because my dad used it to get milk and drove during curfew.
