Although I love my S2000 to bits the simple fact is I think I need something more 'practical' so I need to re-consider my current transport arrangements.

Hmm, sounds suspiciously like an Octy to me?

Sounds more like an M3 to me or a Scoob or an Evo or a Monaro or a Cerbera or....

The list is loong with 17k

Rx8?

A nice Golf TDI would do for me.

An M3 with kids getting in and out? Ouch. Needs to be 4 door really.

Audi S4? BMW E39 540i/ 535i/ 530i, E46 330i?

Also Honda Accord Type R if you're into your Jap, or as above Scoobies and Evo's are a good option both being 4 door saloons.

Seat Leon Cupra R, Audi S3? The list goes on.

Blimey, the choice is huge at 17k second hand. I think you should try a 330D M-sport saloon!

Monaro if you can find one for that money!

Or the wild card...Rover MG ZT V8 ! And pocket 6k change too.

Nearly new Focus ST in silver- saw an ST-2 private ad for a 3500 miler 6 months old

Focus ST....

Another vote for a Focus ST here

honda accord

either petrol or diesel.

seems to tick every box:thumbup:

no no no... the diesels are not quick...

the Type R though...

all the other petrols aren't what someone who had an S2000 would call quick either...

Or a Zafira GSI........

Or a Zafira GSI........

:orb_lol:

Sorry, but people carrier and quick dont add up with me...

looks like a middle aged mans' last ditch attempt at young life!

Like the S-MAx with the ST engine, or the big VXR (zafira or whichever it is)

Honda sporty people carrier thingy?

At least I made someone smile today.........

where's me tea woman?

furby vrs and mod it with the change.

Octy L&K , or any of the repmobiles ( Mondeo, Vectra , Accord )

A 2001-2002 reg'd M5.

Isn't it obvious? A Mazda6 MPS of course!

Avoid the Vectra, I have one as a hire car until my Octy is ready and it's pants.

Mazda 6 MPS or Mondeo ST220 if you want a quick family car.

Isn't it obvious? A Mazda6 MPS of course!

:iagree: The more I see 'em, the more I like 'em

Cheers fellas..... Must admit I quite like the Mazda MPS and the ST220. The latter can be had for sub 10k so that would free up some cash to drop a 1.8T into the Mk2 and have some fun
