To be honest, i can't think of a better all round motor for me. Good power figures from the factory, with plenty of tuning potential, as well as good looks, and practicality for when ive got the kids. Just a shame i'd need a mortgage to run it! (Compared to the DT anyway

I would love an accord type r or civic type r but as I know I won't get insured I want a vtec civic next, I love subarus and my uncle has 2, p reg impreza and a 52 plate wrx sti and if I could get insured on the p reg I would, but it's not really practical for an everyday car is it.
On the other hand, looking at Scott's and CJ's motors, I quite like them sooooo I dunno, whatever I can insure at the time really lol

Mate, i was seriously looking at getting a loan when he said he was selling it, knowing how mint that car was (full engine rebuild less than 10,000 miles before sale). I would have crippled myself if i had got the loan, as well as the insurance, let alone running it!
Really wanted that car though.

That's the thing man, you could have gotten a loan but you'd have no enjoyment driving it because you'd be so wary of how much it was costing.
RE: Your Next Car - WiNgNuTz - 03-10-2013
I did take it out a couple of times, but was always so scared to drive it hard, as it wasnt mine, and it was SOOOO nice!
RE: Your Next Car - puglove - 03-10-2013
If we are doing pics .......... this what i want, HUGE amounts of articulation
RE: Your Next Car - WiNgNuTz - 03-10-2013

RE: Your Next Car - Scott - 03-10-2013
I'm not so sure, would Jamie actually make sure of it even on a dry day? Might get mud under the arches, let alone rain on the body

RE: Your Next Car - darrenjlobb - 04-10-2013

My mate has a classic RR with a 6.5 V8 Detroit Diesel, should really get some pics up, keeps snapping half-shafts with the torque! Still way better on fuel than the 3.5 RV8 it had previously...
RE: Your Next Car - Ruan - 04-10-2013
Something very long, something very oversized, very RWD more than probably...

Then 2.7/3.0 HDi, standalone, all the turbos, all the boost... All the sideways...
RE: Your Next Car - Scott - 04-10-2013
Yessss. That looks amazing
RE: Your Next Car - Ruan - 04-10-2013
Or I've got a real hankering after something rotary powered...
I don't know why, I just ADORE the noise, I'm fully aware of HOW unreliable they are, how much oil/petrol/apex seals/spark plugs they eat...

RE: Your Next Car - Ruan - 04-10-2013

Can't help but think the engines too small in that though sean.. 5 series are massive!
RE: Your Next Car - Just Sean - 04-10-2013
Yeah. It would be perfect if it was a 530! The 520s are no slouch though!

0-60 in 8.1 according to autotrader, hardly breathtaking.. but i imagine it'd go fairly well with a map

It's a 520d - so a poverty spec engine, probably a pov spec interior, but all the M sport package... With the twin tail pipes so it looks like a *30d...
How ghey!
