My honest opinion

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

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!

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!

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
