So, my friend currently had a Renault Megane, 2l and wants an upgrade. He has a fairly well paid job and recently broke up with his mrs...
He wants something quite quick, V6 ish, 2 seater preferable writhin a budget range of about 8k.
He's been looking at a 350z but IMO they look absolute gash!
Can anyone help out! 2 seats are not essential, oh, and he's quite small so nothing too big!

Honda S2000 - 2 seats, fairly light at 1300gk and around 240/250bhp. Looking on ebay (link below) you can pick them up from £4.5k for higher mileage ones, but there plenty better ones around £8k.

Nothing quite says, 'Who wants an ounce of weed' like the unmistakable burble of a boxer engine with a japcan fitted. The soundtrack to pretty much every 'cruise' in the uk.

I heard Veyrons are pretty good too. Easy to park, nice with the hood down, quick in the twisties. Might be a good all rounder

And regardless of the chav bollocks, they sound fapping epic, don't know if you have ever been in/driven an imprezza with a full exhaust/decat but the noise at full chat is insane!

The sort of person who thinks alloys are chavvy isn't going to understand what the hot hatch thing is all about.
I wasn't too far off mind; highboost S2k ftw!
