rtbiscuit Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 was going to say to ricey, don't dismiss the adui TT, they are good cars, i still like the 4wd version of the TT, but the turbo version is where the power is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every UK TT you see is 4WD Was very good in the snow last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 You've had 4 recommendations for an R34 GTT so far, and its still not on yuor list.... I guess thats a no. I'm not too sure how to say it without offending the entire Skyline driving world but for all I can appreciate how technically amazing they are..........fook me they've got a look only a mother could love. I mean seriously that car was shot out of a cannon into a forest of ugly trees and then beaten by a gang of Fiat Multipla's with clubs made from the the branches of the ugly trees. The interior looks like the inside of a 1970's office block.........after a nuclear holocaust..........where an nuclear holocaust survivor lived for a bit and took a turd. ................I'm not keen Also........they're GROUP 20 and do about 10 miles to the gallon and run on super!!!!!! As I said - at what point does an R34 become 'not massive amounts more expensive' to run than a Diesel Lancer! I've got 4 Degus to feed and clothe you know! Oi I prefer the interior in my R34 to the Z The lower models will be crap though & if you bought a GTT then you would always wish you bought the GTR so for that reason I suggest a R33 GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I'm in no rush so I can bide my time and have a think. Some good suggestions though. Just did a quick quote on a GTR.......£1130 per year - insurance trebled!

bronzee Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 350GT or Infinity? Bearing in mind I haven't looked at everyone's links and not knowing how much they are there, similar to a 350z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Iain your car looks ossum but its also had a large quantity of cash invested in it! Seriously Biscuit may finally have convinced me to take the plunge with an XK and scratch the V8 itch. I hesitate to use the phrase 'cheap to run' when talking about a 4l V8 car but comparatively to the ST it IS cheaper, cheaper insurance, same tax, parts roughly the same and fuel there or there abouts, 4 seats, large boot. I've got my eye on one but there are a couple of little issues with it that I want to price up first before I take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greido Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The current shape 2.0 Audi TT is Front wheel drive. Have you considered a mk5 Golf GTi? - Personally I'd much rather have one of these to a Focus ST. Don't get me wrong I like the Focus but they do look like a chav-mobile in my opinion. Also, the 2.0 GTi engine is fairly easy to remap and I believe you can get approx 240bhp for under £500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every UK TT you see is 4WD Was very good in the snow last year Sorry buddy, not true. They did a 1.8 180PS tiptronic in front wheel drive only. I know this because my mum just bought one, and i think that should indicate its intended market ST would win for me over any Mk1 TT.
