A Challenge

Gratuitous repost of pic !

But I find it REALLY irritating to agree with the gentleman ...

On the other hand it could have been worse - I think I might be forced to slash my wrists if I agreed with a couple of people on this site

My dream Sunday toy too. But you need to spend more like 25 - 30 to get a really nice one. Some very dodgy versions out there.

[Predictable Bob]

Agreed !

Two of my nephew's have both got Sunday toys - one picked up a Tiger with a 2.3 Saab turbo in it and his twin brother got a Cerbera. The Cerbera came in at over the £6k but I think the Tiger was within budget - it had turbo problems which they soon sorted out

Elise or a Skyline.

Problem is it's getting harder to find a road where you can enjoy such cars.

[joker??]

I know we all enjoy one of these....

You have £6k to buy a car.

It must be reasonably reliable and have reasonable access to spares.
Insurance is not a problem.
Fuel consumption is not a problem.
Practicality is not a problem.
Comfort is not a problem.

What do you buy?

hmmm something without body skirt on it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,aft er all how you going to park it on pavements

Without a second thought I would get another BMW 330d Power 200+bhp Fuel economy 42mpg comfort and 4 doors, not much more you could ask for. Definately an all rounder but forget about using it in snow and ice

That's why I got the Surf, but I do miss the beemer in "normal" weather.

Oooh.. I love those.

Hey Adam.

You can get a mk111 Escort estate shell. You can also get an LS400 for say,£600, a decent transit back axle. A decent welder, plasma cutter and some time. Around 5k will get you an 84' mk111, 1uzfe powered, rear wheel drive escort.

Or my summer project as it's known.

[Kwakka666]

Lexurf.. obviously

I must be getting old but an old Jag XJR has always been a favourite, for 6K.

Yep..me.

I had a mate with the fastback/mustang type. Mine was the boot type which I prefer..still would not say no to a fastback.

[Apache]

RS3.1 Capri - from eBay - yes, you can get a nice one for that money

Mk3 Cortina GT

Alfa GTV6

Jag XKR

Maybe another GT-Four, but for hillclimb fun rather than the road

But nice escorts stopped at Mk2 Gra. Mk3's look like shite, though I guess a big V8 powered one might have its charm...

[gwh200]

That's the difference between 6k and 60k Andy!! Besides, I couldn't bring myself to butcher a nice mk11 shell.
