pug 106 gti's
172's? at a push
1.6 corsa sport's (already have a 1.4 sport)
golf's
mg tf's

want summat sub 8 seconds 0-60mph, abit of fun, that can handle well and can take on a track (the ring) give me some ideas...or find me a 106 gti with sub 70k on the clock

scrabble wagon

seriously, I would look at older cars that have been cherished rather than newer cars with higher miles and cheaper that have been butt Fu*ked by every boy racer and his mates.

When do you want this car? You can have my car once I'm back from nurburgring.

I'll be going travelling and probably getting something sensible on my returns. I'll let it go cheap just because I can't be arsed to explain what all the mods are to some chav who hasn't a clue.

I'd split it for parts as it'd be worth a fair packet in bits, but I'm too lazy.

from reading and seeing your exploits on here paul i would not be at all surprised if you get round the ring quicker than me. I have no intention of driving the usual 110% like i would do at Oulton or my fav country road through fear of finding one of the massivly overpriced barriers

anyway, both really gay but both pretty good to drive in there own ways, MX5s and MR2s. Also Porsche 924s are super cheap and super fun.

But im sure the speed and handling of the vx though you wouldnt need to drive 110 %

Fair play for driving to the ring in that! You have quiet alot of england to get through aswell never mind over seas!

I'm only joking with you Adam. I don't plan to return in a coffin

Although sub 9 mins B to G would be pretty ace to achieve.
