They are pretty loud I found lol, must be due to the wide tyres.

I think those are my next choices, tho im not sure how much this new tax system will work out with them, ive a feeling both would be 440 a year, which I actually resent paying, just on principle!

Honda have only just recently started selling white ones, so super rare and any that are around at still push £20k

Black for me, with red interior

Yellow is tempting, but not sure I could live with it TBH.

eck one of my best mate has a leon been in it a million times, im sure it drives better but as for grip and ability pretty much the same tbh. I like them but no intrest in spending more money to have a car far to similar to the one i have.

Myke, i like your thinking! Esprit ftw

Wrighty please see my previous post about 182s on page2.

Im wanting an Mroadster now, financial ruin if it goes wrong?

Only thing to watch is the Vanos, unless you can find another 5 or 6K and go for an s54!

They are quite cheap to run really

Don't get:

Any type of Mk 4 Golf, including the illustrious 'Anni' varient.

Any type of Seat Leon

Any type of Audi A3

Infact, any kind of VAG manufactured vehicle.

Get something with a bit of soul.
