sorry abit off topic but I have been offered an evo Integrale for Ԛ£6k. L reg, about 70k miles and rebuilt engine and new turbo about 5k ago. ALll bills and history too. It needs a respray though as its got abit of surface rust bubbling up. Is that good money you think?

Give the shell a good going over, they tend to crack in some nasty places, also, beware of the rust, as it can be terminal on these cars especially on the roof!

[herman]

THIS...Driven it love it want it. Anybody got 120k

[Falkster]

As my M3 is a second car I suppose I could go for something less practical!

Delta Evo 2
3 door Cossie
MK1 RS2000 (maybe even cossie lump)
MK2 Cortina Lotus
20v Quattro
Elise S1

Now Ive got a semi on Ive got to go!!!

[mk1chopper]

Audi coupe s2, or a corrado vr6. Sod your T5 id have the Audi RS2 for an estate car, but for the same money as a E30 a 2.0 16v red top pre eco tec astra gte for the "oh may good this things going to kill me" factor. Always fancied a mk2 golf rally, as good looking as the lancia but does'nt rust as much, get hold of the motorsport g60 engine and you've got a quick car, or the other option would be a 1.8 20v turbo.

Ive had a G60 rallye but unless you get it remapped with the small pulley they dont really cut it

[e30m3lover]

I used to have a 280 bhp golf rallye. late 13's 1/4's I used to get with it.

[johnna]

Nothing that I can't tinker with!
Next car for me is an MGB GT chrome bumper needing a rebuild (H plate). Hmmm engine fun!
Another Capri TT 280? Perana?
Ford Falcon 2 door?
Dodge Charger RT Hemi
Datsun 240z
Skyline GTR- R32/ 33
Original Mini Cooper works
e36 M3 coupe (non evo)
e36 328i cabby
Robin Hood Kit car to my spec
E46 330cd
205 pug cti
205 pug cj
Mk1 Granada Coupe
Series A Manta
Transit (admit it you all would!)
RS500, actually, just a three door cossie would do
Oh lord there are so many more!

[HotboxDeluxe]

if i didn't drive an e30, i'd drive this



oh wait, i don't drive an e30

[Kos]

very open question, but if no e30's or bmw's allowed for sensible money it would be a proche 968 cs in riviera blue as a standard car ,for a modded motor a 2 door siera cossy packing 350/400 hp in white or 4wd jap ricer rocket, a daily driver would be a mk2 golf gti.
money no object, well as a summer hack a 330ci cabrio, range rover to smoke around in, and the toy would be a lambo gallardo in orange, plus a track/street car for fun which would be a cossy again maybe a scooby. plus a few more probably.

the title question in title sugest other wise, but if you read my post the first bit is for the same type of money !!! and money no object follows, the super cars follow,

however a 968 cs is very real i think, as is a 330ci

[Kos]

what ever i owned, it would be all one colour be it a 968cs/gallardo/cossy

[HotboxDeluxe]

looks all blue to me

[fatjapp]

How about what I do own and ride aswell as the beemerԚ….




Car wise -




The cav for its ability to run forever, no matter how many times i ended up in the ditch
The van so you can go out and get pissed then sleep in the back

[HotboxDeluxe]

bless the old cav! can't fault 'em same reason i keep a mondeo...the cars you don't give a shit about last the longest in my experience...cambelt's been loose for the last 3000 miles but fixing it would involve lifting the bonnet so naturally i can't be arsed

[CiLK_WuRM]

Mercedes 190E 2.5-16v Cosworth... With an E500 V8 sitting inbetween the strut towers.

[Chris-W]

Nice. Used to race one of these. You've made the right pipe choice, I see

He's right, there's some serious colour mismatch going on there!

[placey]

hmmn good question and yes it has been asked before but still: here's a couple that i would look out for:

a volvo p1800 - understated style. imagine in the pub - what do you drive? oh just an old volvo.....


and

same for the celica ra28....


i'd modify of course - but in keeping you understand.

paul

[M5pilot]

Ive already made this choice - late model E34 M5 3.8 6 speed. Very very quick, excellent handling and phenominal brakes. has lots of toys to play with aswell.

I had considered the E39 M5 but running costs are extremely high and they arent as exciting to drive as an E34.

[dark_sounds]

i would go for a mk2 golf gti 16v. similar to the 318is and its best i can insure...

[Lowm3]

I would have a Passat B5 in a dark green with beige leather and merc toplines on it.

The CRD is a very good compromise but doesnt give the power of the white brothers!!! Granted it does comply with all the db limits at meetings but never had and issue with my white brothers.

[calipsodream]

id ave a 190 2.6 like my old 1 lowerd cosworth wheels & body kit & leather & the wide grill dont see it knocking round any more may be its dead

[oguz327]

For me it would be;

Mk 1 or 2 golf gti
E28 M535 or M5
E21 323i if i could find a mint one
190E cossie
or original audi quatro

[bigrimz]

quite a mix of cars in this list !! people going for some old skool cool

[oguz327]

old skool rules

not so keen on newer motors although i wouldnt say no to an e46 M3

[Widge]

One of thee as an everyday car, with the later E46 M3 engine.

Then one of these for the weekend,/ dress down friday
[/img]

[Hyperion]

I'll have one of these and a martini please...

[BreadBin]

For the same money as my E30? Well it only cost me Ԛ£650 so there aren't a lot of alternatives at that price!

[Widge]

Oh I neglected to read the for the same money as the E30 bit.
