Mad weekend cars, where would you waste your money

The above picture of the C4 in pewter looks a lot better. It was immaculate and had refurbed alloys too. I would have bought it myself if I wasn’t so badly paid at the time.

I'm saving myself for one of these...

Nice. There are some great looking retro and prototype cars in America.

There is indeed.. I hope this one looks as good when it goes into production and rumour has it that we will get a RHD version as well.

Does this class as off topic yet?

IMHO you cant call yourself a true car fan unless youve owned a TVR

Yes theyre unsafe

Yes theyre unreliable

Yes theyre expensive to run

BUT MY GOD ARE THEY SEXY CARS

T350C FOR ME ALL DAY EVERYDAY

[Blade404]

I can't say I've seen a TVR yet that I've thought I must have one of those in my life... but I do agree that they sound lovely.

Owning one of these is on my "to do" list in life.

I've always wanted an elise as a weekend car but cant afford it yet.

Ideally, i'd have an EXIGE. Thats the puppy for me!

[Lady Elanore]

The trouble with the Elise, at least for me is its very awkward to climb out of. If you are a nubile young flexible person you can still look cool. Most other people look like ‘middle age crisis’ folk struggling to get in and out of it. I am reasonably tall too and it doesn’t help if I want to elegant………….absolutely no chance what so ever.:(

why not get your golf on the road and do something mad with that?

You could probably get this for 50p Wyles Hardy & Co : MG XPOWER SV-R LHD (620) but me, I would go for one of these Noble : Noble M-12 GTO-3R 2004 although the Bowler WildCat does sound tempting :drool:

keep with the times the golf has moved on now :eek: Although I did sell it to Ruku the other night for a £10 when i was wasted

I am still drawn to the tuscan but as of yet I cant get quotes for them :(

I have found the perfect monster too

How about a v6 Clio?

They're under £10k now and should be a giggle.

I dunno about the clio, Its never really intrested me.

I dont know what it is about it tho.

Maybe cos deep down inside i still know its a clio

Off to look at a few cars this morning

[matt_theforce]

Come on then John, Spill the beans, what you off to look at today?

[bazwaterboy]

I would buy my old VXR8 back if I had enough money to run the damn thing.

It was by far the best car I have ever driven and the best thing Vauxhall ever did was import Holdens.

I miss it but if I did own her again she would be wrapped up in the garage and driven in the dry and at weekends only.

[southpaw]

I was going to add a vote for a vx220 if you've not bought anything yet.

On monday I had a passenger ride around silverstone in a vx-t and the only thing faster was Gavin Kershaw in a GT4 spec 2-11.

It has a boot, is comfy on long journeys, does 35mpg+ and is under £500 for insurance.

Edit: if I didn't care if I ever saw the money again - tvr350 you only live once

[Royston]

'97 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

[dvere]

hmmm

[skudmissile]

Not found anything that takes my fancy yet :(

Actually Ill rephrase that...... Ive not found anything that I like and I can afford.

[southpaw]

what's on the desired list then ?

[skudmissile]

what's on the desired list then ?

Everything from Nissan 200sx S14a's to elises to yet another mk2 golf.

Need to sort my finances out first and getting a loan in this current econmic climate is like extracting blood from a stone.
