On Road toy - What to buy ??
Edge:
Forget BMw/merc/Porche/Vet....... COBRA is the toy you need and you could possibly get a decent one for less than £10k
HERE
Thats the type of car i'll be getting later next year :twisted: :twisted:
Nice wheels in your avatar :D :D . They sent me another set after 1st were all badly warped :shock: , these ones are perfect :D .
Evilgoat:
--- Quote from: "Nick666" ---The Elise/Exige is an -awesome- car performance wise, and -very- little to touch it for the money, but you really should do a long-term (ie. weekend) test drive in one as the seats can be VERY uncomfortable (there's little padding and virtually no adjustment) so you might end up dreading getting into the thing!
And don't get a yank - they're almost universally rubbish-handling cars (and I'm not saying that just because I'm Canadian!).
Just my 2p.

I'll econd that. A mate has an 01 Pontiac Firebird WS6 and I've pulled him out of fields before now, when clarkson was drooling over the GTO and making the remarks about it beign the first high powered US car to do corners, he wasnt kidding :)
Range Rover Blues:
I know where £10.5k will get you a very, make that disgustingly quick, red TVR. Many toys, 430HC V8 lump with tuned headers, hot cam, head work, Mustang box, LSD etc. etc.
Nick666:
TVRs also have the Land Rover added bonus of always having something that needs work on them :D
Build quality is absolutely dire on them, regardless of age. Will be interesting to see if the new Russian owner really does improve quality like he says he's trying to.
Edit - actually I'm just thinking I reckon strangely enough I'd get a fastback (original) Mustang. Suppose it depends what you're buying the thing for... alternatively as mentioned above, if you're looking for a racer/gokart, a Westfield would rock for reasonable money.
John T:
Problem is I need an occasional pair seats fo kids in the back. so thats the Vette of the list along with the Cobra, Westfield and the Lotus :cry:
