New Car time. so many choices - ozonehostile - 17-08-2013
Ok then, so as most of you have seen I wrote the sedan off last weekend
which leaves me in the situation of needing a new daily for work and other general driving around.
my current plans are to drive the rallye for a bit and save up a few quid to buy a nice daily, finish the truck turbo 306 build then buy something so I can retire the rallye and truck tub back to weekend toy status.
anyway, im in the extremely fortunate position of having a good income and not much to spend it on so fancy something nice for a daily. current thoughts are:
drop the 2.1 out of the sedan, find another donor car to drop it in, carry on as i was. keep the 2.1 to use in the truck tub
buy something cheap and shit that i wont be tempted to spend money on, more funds for the 306 and rallye
or..... buy something nice, perv or derv, insurance cost isn't really an issue, nor is fuel economy, well more than 25mpg is preferable but meh
thoughts so far:
Mercedes E class, big engine luxury barge
nissan skyline r32 (expensive yes, thirsty yes but still, its an option)
peugeot 607, slam it, remap it
impreza, evo 3,4,5
thats the sort of stuff im looking at, what thoughts do you have?
no bmw, no VAG non of that interests me

it all depends on how patient I am saving up for the car, pre evo 5 can get nice ones for about 2k

To be honest mate, i'd stick to two cars. I'm going to downsize shortly as I cba with three mot's, three lots of road tax, insurance etc.
RE: New Car time. so many choices - Piggy - 17-08-2013

im thinking that, hopefully have new workshop sorted this week so i can leave the truck turbo/rallye in storage for a bit. would be silly to have 3 cars running at the same time

its fun driving a stripped out rallye, but day in day out after a long day at work, bucket seats and loads of noise arnt the most appealing prospect
RE: New Car time. so many choices - Dum-Dum - 17-08-2013
I'd love to say 607 his but a mate has the big v6 and it's no end of trouble
IMO resell the 2.1 to a state and win at life as you'll kick yourself if you loose out on fuel economy

Dunno if I've said it yet but 505 (RWD) + 2.1TD = EPIC WIN!
