Holy thread bump Batman, seven years - nice going!!

 

[imprezaworks]

7 year bump

 

[Wooob]

Sorry, my bad. Thought it was better than starting a new thread. Avoiding revision by debating getting an S3 or waiting and getting an RS5

 

[McGherkin]

Lolvo C30 T5.

1. Refined.
2. Reliable.
3. Can tow boats.
4. 5 pot boost FTW
5. Nice inside
6. Nice outside (the early ones)
7. Lolvo.

 

[Ray Gin]

Looking at R32 GTRs currently.

 

[alistairolsen]

A 6 cylinder diesel german barge (330D or A5 3.0Q) to replace my high mileage 4 cylinder german barge (bora) when it dies.

A decent bike to replace my Husky SM125 when I get my license sorted (Hornet or Street triple are the current favourites)

Clio is staying for the forseeable, but in a year or two might be open to swapping for something else, purely for variety.

 

[brisa4984]

r8 v10

 

[Big Tomm]

At this rate a 172 to use along side my main weekend car. When that comes up for replacement either a E46 M3 (if I can ever find the right one, which I doubt) or a 996.2 GT3.

 

[Mr Plums]

Nothing atm, a 270+hp clio is too much fun!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Civic Type-R or Fiesta ST are at the top of the list at the moment...

So nothing special really, you really are toast!

 

[CrippsCorner]

At least she should have her own car by then and won't whack a dent in the side of one of those :wink:

 

[Big Tomm]

What years are you considering in regards to the type r and ST?

 

[RMDavis]

Lotus Elise 111R or an S!

 

[B-shaw557]

An EVO of some shape.
But I don't plan on getting rid of the 172 for a couple of years, so my mind will inevitably change before then.

 

[Knuckles]

B5 s4 avant.

Why?





...keep your eyes peeled for the "knuckles' crashed s4" thread

But,
Similar mpg to the 197,
Dat noise,
Quattro,
Boost,
The ability to carry a dog at warp speed/sideways

 

[AdDaMan]

Only sideways you'll be doing is in the snow or on grass my friend..

 

[scotty2hotty81]

C63 Amg

 

[Stefan.]

You should have bought a cheap one to start with.

 

[Stefan.]

probably right, but i didnt wanna buy a nail..

 

[Scrooge]

Something with a V8.

 

[Mr Plums]

Did you pay over 4k iirc for a standard car? You didn't need to spend that much, you could have bought a perfectly fine one with belts done for half that.

Bought from r sport cars.

im sure i could of but so many ah poorly maintained or huge owners etc etc

Finding a decent rb wasnt available at the time.

Anyway....

 

[Mr Plums]

ok, look what happened.

A genuine owner FTW Imo.

 

[Ray Gin]

Going to hold out until I've got CSLs and coilovers on the BMW first, I'll never forgive myself if I get rid before doing that, lol

 

[Knuckles]

Does the moment of sideways before I hit the curb/wall/tree/lamp post count?

But I'm aware awd is difficult to drift.

I just want the noise and dog carrying capability tbh

 

[Damo_Sport]

Sadly most probably a Dacia Logan. Littleun born on monday and need more room in a few months and they are awesome cars

See my post above for a family car.

 

[JoeMarano]

Probably a 200 cup or a Megane 250 preferably the latter or hopefully by that time they will have some sort of hybrid hatch that gives performance and mpg.

 

[Bluebeard]

Currently we have;
525i estate for the wife and kid duties. A Clio dci for work for me.

Next for the wife will be an X5 or a new shape CRV.
Next for me will hopefully be a 197.

My mum has the old press car, it's nearly on 200k and just keeps going, she's done 50k in it in 6 years!

She's looking to get rid too and she wouldn't take much for it. It's a bit tatty here and there, but perfect for someone who likes to tinker. She'd take £2500 for it, and it's noggy blue

 

[Cub.]

Some form of American muscle. Likely a mustang. This one is tempting me massively at the moment;

If that was an avant I'd snap her hand off lol.

I love noggy blue.

Is it metallic? It never Usually looks it, but I've seen a couple of pics where it does look metallic.

Why, out of curiosity?

After having the ph2s you've had, the 200 and then the mini, what makes you want a 197?

I really like them. The driving position is better than a 182, the seats and steering wheel are much nicer, and out if the box they're better on track IMO.

It's a long way off yet, but it needs to be done.

Fairy nuff. I just thought you were of the idea that 200s were miles better than 197s.

You're mental. Expensive to run, both in maintenance and petrol, woeful if something goes wrong. I just can't see the benefit.

For me it's a porsche next, I REALLY can't decide what though. An older 'real' porsche, or a 3.4 boxster S or Cayman S. Realistically I have a 16k budget, but I now have seriously limited mileage so it's far more feasible than it used to be.

Well it's either that or a z4m.

No. I've never said that. :S

Nimbus 197, xenons and climate control. H&R springs, spacers, tail pipe trims, Boom!
