Ok just for laughs & to see what people come up with -
You have £10,000 to buy 2 cars.
1st car must be something kinda special, classic car, or nuts silly fast - you decide!!
2nd one must be a runabout something for tootling about in when your car no1 is sleeping in the garage or blown up. 
The £10k may be split any way you like, id like to see 2 decent cars but you can do £9950 / £50 if you like. 
You must pick your weapons of choice from either pistonheads or Autotrader or ebay - must be Buy now or clasified ad. - nowhere else!! Haggling prices does not count....ticket price only/no trade-ins or nigerian scams etc 
On you go 
After taking little time to consider & no serious thought ive picked:
Car 1 -
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/101625.htm
LHD but im sure that wouldnt be all that bad 
& also this for running down the shops.
Car 2 -

Nice choice Eck
Would SO have the 850i too if it was RHD.
I've actually worked on one in black, and you don't credit them with how impressive they are in the flesh until you actually see one up close. They REALY are Such an eyefull of a car, especially in black with nice wheels.
Can't believe it's the same price as a Polo

Nova looks like a good starting point if it's solid and clean inside and doesn't leak.
Needs to knock 400 quid off the price though.
