Gumball Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 With any luck the deathstar will either be sold on SIDC, autotrader or care of Halleys. When the time comes..................... which? exact colours and models not included Link to comment
slo2 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Thought you worked in IT not TONI AND GUY !!!! Link to comment
G.T. Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 focus sti3 has to be the orange one though with the leather recaros and you even get 3 guagues just incase youre missing the scoob too much. Link to comment
slo2 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Try WWW.Streetrodproductions.com Allready modded and convertables.......some even suitable for carrying the golf clubs Link to comment
p1ggm Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 if i was you i would by an older merc estate for comfort/cruising, and an r32gtr for fun Link to comment
col666 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Dont think much of your shortlist there Gumball. Merc = Taxi Audi - Look good but not a drivers car at all, slow, heavy, expensive. An RS4 is different but 50k will be out your budget?! Ford ST- I quite like these and 2 of my mates have them, but will drop in value like a....scoob! BMW - Bit bland, not very quick unless you get an M3. Have you thought about a BMW M roadster? Boxster S? BMW Z4? An older Audi RS4? Clio V6 225? Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The latest C that my dad has drives nicely. The earlier ones of this current generation drive like total dogs. I think the reason is because it has the sport pack. Get one with the 6.3 AMG block in it. That's not going to be slow you'd imagine. Link to comment
wrxmania Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 RS4 - as old as you have to go to get one [] Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 wot about another scoob?? classic perhaps a 22 b?? at least these hold there value more than most cars out there Link to comment
Gumball Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 the scoob will go, the normal car will come in...........another scoob for fun will be gotten a short while later. i want something that isnt too quick for normal driving and license retention that looks tidy. a stripped out RA will then be order of the day for KH, Crail etc Link to comment
colin_ross Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 All of them will feel dog slow and leave you wanting more sooner or later. If its just for a sensible everyday car I'd go for the ST as its the cheapest as well as the fastest of the lot. Link to comment
Racing Snake Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 ST is not that cheap at nearly 20k. I'd get a civic Type R or if you want something a bit bigger an Accord. Link to comment
gus the bus Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I've always liked the Audi's[] but canny see you living with it after the Deathstar tbh. Link to comment
colin_ross Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 ST is not that cheap at nearly 20k. £17.5k is mega cheap for a 2.5 turbo and the Civic may not be out for months yet, besides, it's not on Gummy's list. I know what I've have. Link to comment
ANDYJDMSTI Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Boxsters are for shirt lifting willy warmers, they also say you are too povvy to afford a 911 [] What about having a look around for a second hand M Coupe, drove my mates afew years back and was impressed. He had it fettled to over 400 brake. [] Link to comment
bigbadboab Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Chris, I would go for the very first car in all your choices, but you will have to watch the speed bumps as they will take the front off, plus I heard the MPG is a bit OTT. You will have to spend a bit extra to get lights and indicators put on though I'll get my coat.......................... Audi all the way. Absolutley outstanding build quality. Link to comment
jamie_wood Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The Audi or the BMW all the way[] Anyone who says they are shit will no doubt just be jealous[] Go for a big diesel, ie a 330 BM and get it remapped. It will destroy a Scooby. Link to comment
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 It will destroy a Scooby..................on a dry - straight - A road - if the Scooby isn't modified - [] Link to comment
nicholas_frame Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I've got to throw in my tuppenceworth and suggest you go for a Honda Integra Type-R DC5. You'll get an import for less than the ST, the car will start first time everytime, probably out-live you and has enough comfort, style and performance to keep you happy. There also aren't too many around so has that "ooh, what's that?" factor. Dicksons of Dunblane are quoting just shy of £20k for a new one. The following link shows a delivery miles only example for £19k: http://www.dicksonsmotorgroup.co.uk/vehicl...8199&popup= P.S. I'm not affiliated in any way - honestly!!! Link to comment
dan_jess Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Blue DC5's r very smart! If ur defo goin by the shortlist then i'd pick the ST [] Link to comment
jamie_wood Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 [8-)] Range Rover or and X 5 ? Only problem is that they also attract jealous folks Link to comment
