LPG (gas) cars, any advice?

[ICB]

lol, they're all 2+2s

the one you like is known as an old man's pipe, slippers and tartan rug car in the owners club

whereas I own a fine example of the "TR7"

That'll teach me

 

[nogoodboyo]

That'll teach me

That doesn't seem likely at all.

FD RX7 only 2 seater

Harsh, but fair

FD RX7 only 2 seater

That's what I'd assumed (never been in one alas) but the advert claims otherwise, the cheeky muppets.

 

[nogoodboyo]

I like the touring sx as it goes, much more my sort of thing. I'd be tempted by a low miler tbh, but there don't seem to be a huge number about.

 

[Space Girl]

whoa, hold on you lot, this is all going over my head, I'm the type of girl who picks a car by it's colour remember

 

[nogoodboyo]

It's that ICB. Turn your back for five minutes and he's plastered pics of strange japanese riceburners everywhere.

The Mazda RX7 - bottom of the list - is incidentally a spectacularly expensive car to run, as a rule. More GPM than MPG... so it's about as inappropriate a suggestion as possible

 

[Space Girl]

fuck the knees, this is the car I ahve alwasy wanted, my mate has one, it has the cutes little round window and a big key that cuts off the engine when racing

 

[nogoodboyo]

That's a ginetta innit? Groovy cars.

 

[Space Girl]

yep, my mate has a little silver one, it only takes 2 people and the seats are horride bucket seats with harnesses, it's also crap at going over speed bumps but fuck me it's sexy, maybe I should get one in orange

This is true. But as my mate said, "so what?".

 

[ICB]

Good lad.

Whereas the Ginetta will be really cheap and practical

The 200sx S14a touring is a stupidly capable car for the money tis true.

Absolutely! And after my insurance drops next year, and we've got the deposit together for a flat, and saved for the cost of a wedding and then maybe I'll be able to afford a model of one.

I like the fact that most of them are autos.

<dons slippers and lights pipe>

Seriously though, there's no point me buying a manual with the driving I do. maybe some sort of tiptronic thing is a better idea. Shame there aren't so many decent Nipponese hot hatches.

 

[Poi E]

. Shame there aren't so many decent Nipponese hot hatches.

Not in the UK. But why not check out the Honda Life Dunk turbo

funny buggers.

 

[Poi E]

Or if toyota is your thang, I give you the Toyota Will Cypher

I'll stop now.

 

[nogoodboyo]

Too right! That's a mini-car... just too fliddy. Good name though, I do like that.

Actually the Civic is supposed to be a good car... but Toyota and Nissan have let the side down a bit I think.

 

[nogoodboyo]

Don't stop on my account... I'm off to find out about the Will Cypher now.

 

[nogoodboyo]

It's not very pretty is it?

 

[Poi E]

Looks like the Mazda Secret Hideout will go into production soon. Practical.

 

[ICB]

Mad stuff I love these threads

The S14a auto box will handle up to 270bhp btw, which is easily achievable for under a grand

 

[nogoodboyo]

Yeah, but I can't even be arsed to wash my car, let alone fiddle with its bits.

S15 is import only ICB?

I'm also thinking about a DC5 integra now! semi-sensible.

Love the name, Poi. It's a bit anthill mob that.

They still using Jatcos? Good boxes.
