rallyfever Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hi All, Just gonna spend £10k on a car as my company one will be going back soon, was wondering what you would buy, and if you had seen any adverts for a car that matched your suggestions? Looking for something sporty, maybe a 2-seater, convertible maybe - just something a wee bit different. Cheers Gary

Maxxed_Ross Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 there's a few of them, normalyy tarted up GTS's, non turbos and mingers It would have to be that Westfield 2000 for me, by far the best play thing possible

The TVR is one on my wish list - apart from the MPG - and reliability for everyday use. Cheers Gary

Cheers for the response fella. Gary

Cheers Gary certainly seems plenty car for the money, i remember being in my old boss's XK8 when they were first out, nice car but it did feel a bit claustrophobic, the side windows seems very small. Although i did get the same feeling in my sisters new mini For just a few k more this'll be my next mode of transport http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1005250.htm
spooks Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Buy a "gay 5" mk2.5 and keep the change if ya ask me . Best legal fun for hooning about sideways, not that I would ever condone such an act. The TVR, lotus and westie would be a great also. I assume the porker is a no go now?
