  1. Running costs isn't an issue really, it's just the money from selling the Zed that I need
  2. Hmmm....don't know much about them. Bit slow aren't they? yea slow nice cars tho if you could push the boat out and get an altezza bit more like it but there was a TTE supercharged is200 on ebay last few weeks for £2000 BIN Spoke to the guy about the charge is200, mileage was nearing 200k!!! And he had no receipts for the work that was done, no thanks Might have to get a scooby for the laugh of the boxer engine 2 friends had Celica GT4s, both of them were riddled with problems Wouldn't get an RS or a Mazda 6 for £2k Celica is a bit girly for me
  3. Hmmm....don't know much about them. Bit slow aren't they?
  4. Wouldn't touch an auto anyway, would have to be manual
  5. Can't just double my budget The Legacy is pretty reliable, as is the Evo. Just need regular oil changes which isn't a problem Ewww, no
  6. So as you may have seen, the Zed is up for sale on here, eBay and Pistonheads. Hopefully get some interest as I finish putting her back to standard over the next coming weeks This leaves me with a dilemma as to what my next car should be! The Zed is everything I need from a car and I don't think anything will compare, but I need a set of wheels Part of me is saying to get a cheap Fiesta for like £300 and just run it into the ground for a year until I can afford to buy another decent car (maybe even another Zed) but I just don't think I can downgrade that much Much budget would be something around £2k, so was wondering what people would do in my situation? My spec list for a car is: Reliable Good looking - aesthetics are important to me in a car Fairly quick (can't downgrade too much after the Zed) Rare - I don't like having Audi A3's that every Tom, Dick and Harry has Not German - running costs of my last 3 German cars were just stupid I've got a shortlist of some things I've briefly looked into: BH5 Legacy GTB Mondeo ST220 V6 (had the diesel version before) Mitsubishi Evo 4 And at a push, because I don't really like BMW's and it's German, a BMW 540i Sport The Legacy is my favourite, but seems to be hard to find a BH5 rather than the earlier BG5 which has the ugly front end within my budget. There is 1 at £2k but potentially needs a new front dif. Plus the Evo and the Legacy have the same issue of high insurance premiums due to being turbocharged Jap cars which seem to carry a high price The Mondeo is a great car, had the diesel version before. Not sure about the V6 engine in them and again would be hard to find a nice example for around £2k The BMW probably won't even be considered, it's German, it's a BMW....but it's a 4ltr V8 with RWD fun fun! Any other suggestions guys?
  7. Pair of Berk Decats that have only been on my car for around 6k miles Brand new when I bought them for £210 Complete with gaskets and bolts - £100 collected, £110 delivered
  8. I think my Summit strut brace in the for sale section would finish that off nicely
  9. Best plates I ever saw was when a Rolls Royce Phantom passed me on the M25 with the plate "NOT 1" I thought "that's odd..." Then a second one storms past with the plate "BUT 2"
  10. Now on eBay with a slightly higher list price to attract offers around £6500 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200946901773?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
