You've got £10,000 a garage and all the tools you need...

Uppity, eh?

You heard that saying "I could take him with one hand tied behind my back"?

But you'd only have one hand to tie behind your back and I'd have the other one to throw at you

No, no. I'd tie the stump behind my back.

 

[longdog]

No, no. I'd tie the stump behind my back.

The rules quite clearly state 'hand' not 'stump'

Audi RS2 engine & running gear gubbins crammed into something like a capri or an escort mk 1 or 2

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

VR6 into a Golf Gti Mk1 (small rear lights) lhasa green and new filler neck of course

Dino replica

Why would you want a replica? Admittedly a real one is 85-120k these days, but God, there's nothing worse than Ferrari replicas unless they're GTO replica on a 60s Ferrari chassis with the right V12 engine. Even then the donor Ferrari is usually preferable.

Plus anyone who knows, would know you're driving a fake.

GT40s & Cobras on the other hand are fair enough.


My choice would be a partially built Ultima with the 6.3 Chevvy like a mate of mine had.

Fast as fuck.

has to be the killdozer though not sure where I'd want to rampage with it

 

[Badgers]

Would rent it out and have a holiday

 

[stupid dogbot]

2009 YZF-R1 + Akrapovic cans.

Just like real life, really.

£10,000 would go a long way towards buying drugs, booze, and nice music.

Woo, party!

 

[ViolentPanda]

I'd want to build a motor-trike, preferably utilising the engine and transmission from a (old-style) VW beetle, and with 2 seats and a towbar (for a trailer).

 

[moose]

I think I'd stretch the campervan.

 

[bi0boy]

Volvo 480

I'd make a hydrogen fuel cell version.

 

[geminisnake]

Shall I let Roadie guess what I'd go for??

If I could manage both for £10k it'd be a Manta and a type of campervan. I reckon it'd be well doable coz Transits aren't dear and hubby's a joiner.
The Manta would have volvo brakes on it coz they're better for the crappy roads round here.

Fourwheel-drive Cosworth Capri... What's not to like?

Roadholding.

I knew someone who'd had a Mark III Capri souped up with a 3 litre engine in some kind of state of mild race tune. He lost his bottle with it a bit when the front end started lifting up on the M25 at "somewhat over 100"...

So by all means go for it, but stick to street cruising and doing doughnuts with it

Depends whether you put an apron on the front and a spoiler on the back to hold it down, surely?
Obviously, if you don't generate enough down-force then the loooong front end of a Capri is going to misbehave, especially as even the Mk 3s weren't particularly aerodynamic.

Porsche 912 - they're my favourite cars, just love the look of them.
