Pick me a car!

[spitfire]

Second hand MK2 Golf GTi.

Cheap (£1000-£2000), cheerful, engine lasts forever, fucking quick, get lots of stuff in the back with the seats down, enough space for kids (even with the seats up), easy to fix/get fixed, lots of spares available.......

Anyhow that's my idea.

Nice GTA Griff, still think the Legacy TT is the one for these scenarios tho.

If you want a car that's good on fuel you should try a Fiat panda. Pig used it to get from here to Hackney about 8 miles, for 7 nights there and back and it used less than half a tank of petrol.
It's the most economical car we have ever had. But I aint driving it as it will ruin my street cred.

Here it is,or rather, one just like it........ an ugly cunt of a car, but he loves it

Terrible terrible cars, made of sheets of processed cheese. They get good MPG (when running) because they're so light they blow away in a force 5.

Fucking hell! No-one's done this yet:

Gimme gimme gimme!

we bought it from the people next door to us, she had had it almost from new and it had low mileage and it's immaculate. He only needs it for work, if they park in the yard sometimes other people have to move your car and many minor dents occur but it doesn't matter with this car. It's as hard as nails.

All these sensible suggestions are getting on my nerves.

I'm so glad none of these are near me. My sensible car plans are in severe danger.

Legacy would be a fairly dear car to run and probably to buy, I reckon. A Galant VR4 is similar, no AWD though, cheaper to buy I reckon...

You know you want that Scimitar or the De Tomaso.

 

[nogoodboyo]

If it was a bit more local I'd be very tempted... it'll take more than a car to make me go to Burnley though!

They're dear on fuel but relatively cheap to insure for the performance (counted as a family motor, gp 14 iirc) and extremely reliable. Cheaper than a similarly performing Audi, and cooler IMO.

I like the VR4 but no AWD disqualifies it from the "cover all bases" POV.

I think this pretence that a sensible new motor is in the offing should cease forthwith.

Bollocks can't get the right link to work.

 

[nogoodboyo]

Eh, Griff? Ah - the 912 is it, I see.

Hmm.

Some variety there ICB!

Nah, there's a '73 911 2.7 RS on there but I can't get the correct link.

Nearly 13 grand for a LHD 912, they're having a laugh.

 

[ICB]

Oh arr, just the ones that grabbed my attention, each with its own special appeal.

More for you than the OP mind.

This Is A Great Option

Ok its a 2+2 coupe. Handling is unsurpassed even by some modern cars standards. Very fast. Very realiable. Tiny depreciation. Still looks gorgeous 10 yrs dowm the line and is uber cool !! Ive owned a couple. Im addicted to 'em


Can you guess what it is yet......................................?














Yeah, its V-dubs Corrado

Theres the awesome 1.8 G60 Supercharged (great when tweake a little )

or

Or the frankly barnstorming 2.9 VR6


Both as fuck

 

[Griff]

Yep, those Corrados are lovely, and I should have got one instead of going for the really sensible Polo diesel option.

 

[chieftain]

1998 AUDI A4 Avant, fairly well priced now.. will run forever, lots of space, pleasure to drive... good fuel, not to bad on the enviroment (so im told)

 

[ICB]

Both as fuck

Corrados are quite nice

200sx is faster, cheaper, better looking and at least as reliable tho

proper sports cars are RWD as well

 

[Griff]

200sx is faster, cheaper, better looking and at least as reliable tho

But it's Japanese!

 

[nogoodboyo]

I like the corrado, but why not get a Golf or A3 instead? More room and you can get them with less than 98,000 miles on the clock!

 

[ICB]

But it's Japanese!

Yep, so it's properly built without being overpriced.

VW has a certain heritage issue as well.

My G60 destroys 200sx's .

Small pulleys?

I doubt you'd destroy ICB's 200sx, to be fair. In fact, I'd be suprised if a G60 could get anywhere near it, assuming he's allowed to change gear.

Look up the standard performance figures to see how things would compare if you had traction
