Mitsi Evo 2 or 3 without a doubt, cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to tune to 300bhp too from the people I have been speaking to... plus its not French... which helps...

Not sure, got no plans for the coming 12-18 months. But I would like something really really fast just once in my life before I get too old.

Maybe an Evo 8, no scratch that, how about a Skyline!!

 

[18Stu]

Once my points have reduced, I am going for an Elise.

 

[bonza172]

mk 2 V6

or a BMW M3 not a new one but two or three years old, love them.

Prob not change the 172 for a year or so yet though.

Im 20, and should be getting a 90s shape 328i Sport in December, im still looking at other cars, but nothing provides the same sort of power or luxury for the same price, £1400 insurance for a 2.8L

Im going to blow all my money plus loan on a CSL however not looking good at the moment. The first one i looked at needed a new clutch, one of the carbon flippers was almost hanging of and paint was chipping of the carbon fibre front bumper plus there was only one year left on warranty. It was also running on 255 width contisport tyres on the rears when the cups tyres are something like a 285 because their oversize. A dealer in colchester has a good one however he wont take high thirties for it which i think is what their worth given a v8 m3 is not far off and a v8 m3 csl a few years after that.

If not a csl then a vxt taken to stage 3 with miltek/nitrons/vxr speedlines and a clio trophy or chavic type r.

 

[fizzy_drink]

Audi A3.

 

[hillclimber]

Fancy something along the lines of a Lotus Exige and failing that im sure ill have a look at the new RS Clio when it comes out.

 

[Cupster]

Raplaced my cup with a V6 4motion Golf. Maybe a mk5 golf GTI or a BMW next?!!??

same here

 

[Dave H]

Red Evo6 Makkinen

 

[Scudetto]

bit torn on this one. Id like to try the 2006 RS Clio, but every single car Ive had has been a hot hatch (bar two) so a change would be good! I like the look of the new MX5 (although I dont like convertibles that much), I like the new Cayman (too expensive mind), but then Im also tempted to just get a banger of an Alfa V6 for £1,500. So, in short, no idea!

[andy_leitch]

Cooper S. Can get em for £11k now.

 

[sun7]

RX8, wooo bring it on!

 

[Lloyd v]

Clio 182... or... Megane RS 225...

 

[coope182]

Missus is keen on getting a beetle, i would prefer an RS4 Estate

had one for a while... was the cheapest car i have ever run!


.... but i do work for Ralliart so servicing and tyres were free

 

[Phill1978]

182 full fat + recaros racing blue/inferno pref to replace my 172MKII

But failing that an Audi S3 225 tuned to 300hp + huge induction + dumpvalve with fat wheels and lowered.

both would be just as good as each other. but id prefer the 182 over the s3 in all honesty.

 

[scooby]

Thinking of selling my Clio 182 in about 12 months time for one of the following:

Mazda RX8 (231)

Another Subaru WRX PPP/Sti

Vauxhall Astra VXR

New Golf R32

New Lean Cupra R (apparently 240bhp)

Focus ST

 

[Michelle]

Bring back the 306 GTI 6 - a new one please! Had one once, engine blew and I was gutted. Best car apart from clio but stuck to road loads better.

Since thats not gonna happen



R32

Astra GSI turbo

P1

RB5

Evo (any minter)

dont get a 328i mate, they are dogs, I was looking at them for a couple of years and didnt find one that impressed me or didnt have a checkered past. They are also slow I found, this was after driving about 10 of them. If you decide to go for one anyway beware of the engine blocks going, only get one thats had the engine replaced as a sh*t load suffered from failure due to mikasil engine coating, something to do with high sulpher content in our petrol causing hyper increased wear iirc... deffo do some digging either way and find out all there is to know about them... my knowledge on them is sketchy tbh now as it was a couple of years ago when I last looked into a BMW...

 

[badinvincible]

R32 Golf, 350Z, LCR, Z3M.

In reality though - 106 GTi.

 

[clio510]

nissan s15

as soon as i can find a good importer

 

[ste_brough]

VX220 Turboooooo!

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Its gonna be a LCR

 

[ukaskew]

Reality check for me!

My Cup will be going when I buy a house (2 or 3 years), me and the mrs will be selling our cars and then depending on how well we are both doing we will both have something different.

She will probably get a Daihatsu Copen (got to say I love these, couldnt drive one myself though) or MG TF and I will be getting the practical family car, probably a Megane of some description, if money is ok it will be a second hand 225 Cup, if not it will be a Dynamique 1.6 or something!

[Jim172CUP]

any 1.4 diesel. i wanna get back to cheap motoring and having space to carry people. it has been fun owning a sporty car tho.

 

[Nick Read]

Willy 1 or 2, E36 M3 Evo, or the wildcard, an Alfa 156 V6. Or maybe even a mk1 172.

 

[dan-the-man]

i agree with comments on 328s... not quick really and NIKASIL can be a problem. ive gone right off bmw since their engine troubles



and for me i have no idea as just got a DC5, and still have a DC2 so driving both and loving it.....lol (ps..anyone fancy a mint DC2...?)

[Tigerhawk]

Toyota hilux or i might push the boat out and get a 69 dodge charger fully blown of course!

 

[undergroove]

The spanking Mitsubishi Colt CZ3 that I picked up on 31/03/2005.... thats what replaced my Clio!

Damn fine car as well....

 

[edde]

Dcis replacment will be diesel maybe a VRS skoda or Seat Ibiza Tdi.

Williams replacment is even more difficult maybe an ITR its difficult to find a similar price and faster car.

Might end up with one car in the end and tow a track car.

 

[Dan Page]

clio 182 or lupo gti

 

[RS-Steve]

I think when the Clio goes next month it will be replaced by 1 of these babies!!
