On Road toy - What to buy ??
Evilgoat:
Hmm so we want practical and fast...
RS2
0-60 in 4.6s on a stock one, not many were left stock. And its an estate so you get the best of everything. Its the well known and loved Audi 20VT 5 Cylinder with a bit of Porsche magic.
Problem is, finding one and they still go for at least £12k even though most are M reg

Erm... cat amongst pidgeons time,
How about:
V8 Ninety, fit autobox, convert to a soft-top/SV/NAS type, stiffen (lower :?: ) suspension, road tyres, bling wheels, leather seats, nice paint job...
Got to be do-able for 10K? Scare the hell out of all the Chav corsas at the traffic lights 8)
My idea anyway.
Steve.

Another cat? Those pigeons will be well scattered by now :shock:
How about a Skoda Octavia vRS MkI? Same 1.8T engine as in the base spec Audi TT, putting out 180BHP.
Looking at 0-60 in about 8 seconds (for the estate - the hatch is slightly faster), and the engine can be tuned (without too many headaches) to about 225BHP, although I've heard of them going much higher than that - they tend to go bang a bit quicker the higher you go!
The MkII's also available, running a 2.0 normally aspirated engine, kicking out about 190BHP, although the 10k budget's more likely to bag you a very, very good MkI.
I've got a '53 plate MkI estate, and I'm very happy with it. Paid about 11k for it 8 months ago. It's come in very useful while moving house as I don't currently have a Land Rover :(
Handles really, really well, and seems to put the power down a lot better than my previous VAG vehicles (Passat and Golf, both with 130BHP TDi's). Really stable in and out of corners, although I've not had it on a track yet.
Cheers

Westfield + Rover V8.... Drool Material... :P
--- End quote ---
or even better a westfield with a suzuki hayabusa engine... 0-60 approx 2 seconds.. makes ANY supercar lok silly.. and they are made about 1 mile from me ;)
200 bhp and they weigh about the same as an anorexic gnat. plus they rev to 13000 rpm :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
bezzabsa:
Or why not go 'old school' and get a Genuine Ford Cossie??
or even better E type (ok so for 10k it'd be a 'ropey' one..)
or (about to upset BTM) a 635Csi BMW?? I would give my kids / right testical/left arm / 1st born etc for one of those.. theres a stunning BLACK one in kings heath ..drooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
