MattyB Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Dave Yu has just bought one http://test.auto-journals.com/journals/Fer...&journal=26 prepare for some eye watering costs to come though.He sold that a while ago, I believe - look at the "Purchased" date For me, I'm aiming at one more stupid car before I get sensible and start doing some investing. Looking at:Z4M CoupePorsche 964B7 RS4But I'll probably get an Exige S I think...never had so much fun in a car as I did in my Elise.Strangely, I've found if I cash everything in and get a small loan, I could stretch to something really stupid like a Ferrari 355 or AM V8...but there is a part that think "Wow, that would be awesome!" and a bigger part that says "That would be a stupid thing to do" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bignell Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Z4M Coupegood choice, thinking realistic, my GTI will become a run around car/ winter car and I'll purchase a caterham (heres hope these will drop under 20,000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Funny a lot of people mention the Audi S3, everyone I know who's had one say how brilliantly capable cars they are, but also very very dull, and sold them because of that. I drove a mates Leon Cupra R, it was no doubt a nice car, but so boring, it didn't feel quick at all, even though it was quick, if you know what I mean.I've always wanted one of these, I don't think I'd ever own as S1 RST, but maybe an S2.

owieprone Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 my dad's is mint i think hes had it since year dot, at least it will be mint when he finishes tinkering and putting it ALL back together again, just now it's in sooooo many bits it takes up the whole double (almost triple) garage!!! he's taken everything out for its full overhall clean. although he'd better do it soon, he's 60 in jan, and is currently spending all his time and efforts on his 9m sail boat! god dammit, i wanted the jag for my wedding in april nae luck! i at least want it finished for when he pops his clogs lolmy stepmum bought the wire alloys like in the link, for dads crimbo/bday one year, i can't mind how much they were (i was about 15 at the time, i'm now 31) but arm and leg don't cover it. very expensive to get parts but sooooo worth it it's beautiful to drive and just listening to the engine makes me droool!i mind saying pointedly that i wasn't offering to clean the alloys EVER. the rest of the car yeah, the alloys? my bro can do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_225 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 When I eventually sell the Megane this is probably the only car I can think of that appeals enough to want to swap the Megane for - As for replacing the Lupo I'd either look to get a RenaultSport Twingo 133 or a RenaultSport Clio 197.

LiamD Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 liam i had a black series 1 rs turbo, i bought it from a police auction way way back and sold on for a huge profit as apparently there were litterally a handfull made ,i was also told that princess diana owned one but not sure if that's true at all. lol.either way a nice useable classic ford .Yeah that is true Princess Diana had one of the very last S1s in black... they are very very rare like. That's now two of my fave cars you've had (S1 RST and a Renny 5 turbo!). I thought about an S2 RST before the G40 but stupidly had VW blinkers on, and I don't think my budget really stretched to a nice one.Mmm. Golf Rallye... a true VW moneypit though! In fact I think anything that ends with G40 or G60 is a moneypit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
