Automotive Heaven & Hell
Bush Tucker Man:
Just nippedinto Wakefield & called into Harratts (Volvo dealer), there's a new convertible coming out next week (S50, or is it S40???), but it looks like a Focus on steroids, but then again that series are Focus based I believe?

Pick up a nice 2.8 V6 for a reasonable price, and its still a reasonably sensible car.

Showed her a RS4 :lol:

We very seriously considered the Kangoo (or whatever the 'MPV' is called) before buying the Fabia.
Sliding doors make sense for shopping/old-folks :lol:

The 'Old Star Garage' at Collingham (near Wetherby) has/had a MGB GT-V8 in stock :D

Theres an RS4 Cabriolet due out in a few weeks I beleive.
Nice solid reliable car though, most of them stayed based on the same Chassis as the 80/90 and its a proven design. They dont rust and just a nice drive.
Also the only Audi they ever got the steering right on :evil: Always biased too much towards power assist or towards not having it.

As long as they don't mind 3000 mile service intervals and rust repairs every few years :lol: And don't buy a rubber bumper one, they handle like beached whales! They have 'back seats' but don't expect anyone to actually fit in them! Also, the boot is rubbish. You struggle to even get a suitcase in.
I had 2 1800 versions back in the 80's. Both chrome bumper ones. Not bad GT cars, but not at all 'sporting'. The V8 was marginally better, but don't expect it to beat your average modern hatchback away from the lights!
Of the current crop of Coupe's I particularly like the Nissan 350Z. Very nice car, and should be reliable too.

But it's got a V8 & what can you do to V8's.
Anything :D

Not bad looking, I also like the (still fairly' cutting edge') look of the Celica.
I did also drop a copy of 'Classic American' on the father-in-laws lap :D
Let me see..............
65 - 68 Mustang
68-69 Camaro
69 - 70 Challenger
69 Charger. Oh yes.................... :D
Ja1983:
do what i did at one point, think what is required of the car (eg, air con, cruise control, leather interior, convertable etc.. ) and just search around your budget price on auto trader, you may well find something you never thought of before!
...its how i found my old astra (mk4 1.8 16v sport - grp 7 insurance) for bargain price! :D
