Right - you're off my christmas card list!

7 grand should get you a tastefully modded 200sx that should be at least hitting 300bhp. Have a look on ffoc, but I have banned myself from there as it will end up costing me a _lot_.

Another thought, Teg type R? 9k rpm screamer or even an Accord Type R if you want comfort and the occassional blat. It sounds like you want to be lazy, so how about a V8? I don't really know much about yank motors, other than I want a Pontiac Firebird or Corvette.

There is a lad selling a Focus ST170 near me, but unless you drop serious money and get an RS / new ST you'll die of boredom.

ST170 is dire. Not after a VTEC yo either. I don't really know if I want a mad fast car - something quick would be fine. Ideally I'd love to keep the mx5 and have a ****ty run around as an alternative. I wonder if I can do something along those lines... But it's a bit daft having 2 cars especially if I can't store one in a garage.

well garage the mx5 and leave the shed outside

doesn't the new ST have a 2.4l Vovo engine? What about a T5 volvo something? Older but should be a right laugh

Given your age Paul, surely it will be peanuts to get a shed and insure? Both have to be stored on the road Leo. I think you are rapidly running out of motors really. I would just have a mooch about and see what takes your fancy.

Having just seen the price of my new windows, my idea of having a look just went flying out the window

Fancy a P/E Will?

Will · 20-10-2007, 13:05
