£500 306, £200 cocaine, £1300 prostitutes.
My honest opinion
Re: yes, another what car thread! - Dan! - 04-02-2013
My money would be in a big old merc/bmw/audi.
RE: yes, another what car thread! - kingy - 04-02-2013

I have a seperate savings account for hookers and blow.
I'm kinda liking the idea of a top spec Volvo or c class Mercedes estate currently, lots of leather, electronic gizmos and a big engine for nice motorway cruising and the occasional hoon home from work.
Not a fan of Audi atall, far too bland, like a car with character

It'd have to be an ovlov for me mate.
Heres a little pic for inspiration

Perfection
RE: yes, another what car thread! - ozonehostile - 04-02-2013
That volvo is so win.
I also thought about a vauxhall Carlton estate, they look awesome low, rwd and drop a c20let engine in with another truck turbo added maybe
RE: yes, another what car thread! - ozonehostile - 05-02-2013
I don't know if I can wait until may to get a new car, if a Volvo comes up for the right price I might "accidently" buy it. Euro style Volvo ftw!
RE: yes, another what car thread! - samass - 05-02-2013
I know a v70 estate for sale... 2.5T
RE: yes, another what car thread! - Dicky - 05-02-2013

Pffft, your loss, my Volvo is awesome
RE: yes, another what car thread! - Niall - 05-02-2013
I all fairness and i speak 100% honestly here (makes a change!), Sams volvo would make a epic base for a small project and i would of had it by now if i had a spare dry dock to park it in! For the money, its well worth it!
RE: yes, another what car thread! - Oil-burner - 05-02-2013
Id be tempted if it was the right fuel!
RE: yes, another what car thread! - Niall - 05-02-2013
It is the right fuel! Diesel is the wrong fuel

Thanks mate, I think I might be the eBay expert of this forum
As for the Datsun, I noticed it had a slushbox but I could live with that in a car with 2 turbos. 2 of 'em. Yep, 2.
My choice would be that Corrado though. Yes, I know people say they don't have enough power for a 2.9 and their wrong wheel drive but I've been saying for years that you have to look past how cars stack up on paper and just drive them, and I can't imagine anyone not being won over by a Corrado. The sound is just musical, the torque and wide power band means there's power at any revs which makes it feel far faster than it is, the turn-in is razor sharp with very little understeer and epic grip, the steering talks to you constantly, the ride is firm but somehow comfortable, the brakes are fantastic, they look pretty without looking girly, their incredibly tough...
It's a crime that the god-awful Calibra outsold them 5 times over
