If any of you had up to £25k to spend on any make of car what would you get?

Kimmy.

 

M5

Although I see you have posted in general, so you're probably expecting something japanese with a turbo

 

A citroen 2CV and spend 24k on engine mods.

 

22b no doubt or sti RA and 15k on mods

 

not really..... i know you can get an e46 m3 for that amount.

we have got an sti 5 type r already. just time for something different.

 

A late model P38 Range Rover with big TV/ICE install.

 

nah not my thing.

 

bit different though, I drive a 3 series cab so the RR would be good to have aswell when the weather goes crap

 

god you lot are boring!!!

all the people on scooby net with their opinions and no one has replied to this?

 

R34 GTR

 

Probebly with that sort of money, something like this
http://www.linney.org/1995purplefieldgtrv33.htm

Personaly speaking ofcourse because ive just bought one
You could then spend some of the rest of the money on some bigger injectors, a pair of HKS turbo's, an ECU, pluss some mapping and 500+bhp could be yours
OR-
You could afford a much later one!

 

Just beat me to it m8!
That would be a higher milage, slightly older R34 for that money though, although its possible.

 

r34 gtr or r33 very nice choices.....

we were quoted over 3k to insure an r33 gtr!

 

Who were those quotes with? I maybe able to help with regards to phone numbers.
Forget Liverpool vic and Norwich union direct, A-Plan and/or Osbourne & Sons are the people to speak to regarding these now.

 

that was with tesco.

bear in mind my bloke is 24 and im 22. my bloke has got full no claims.

 

22b!

 

or P1

 

we have got a sti 5 type r.... i dont wanna go from that to a car thats almost exactly the same but more money!

i love 22b's

thinking of something a little bit newer than ours which is a 99

 

mmmmm, the above would more than likely beat Tesco although i supose you would probebly still be looking at a couple of grand.
Maybe worth giving them a try though, nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that, you never know.
Osbourne & sons 0871 2228248
A Plan 0845 0711234

 

Funnily enough, i had a V5 Type R too!

 

this is our car which is currently for sale........

 

This;
1978 FERRARI 308 GTS 61,500 miles, Rosso with cream leather and red carpets. CD player, sports exhaust and full service history. Please phone 07921 430430 after hours. £23,995

Grow a tash, get a butler called Higgins, and tell people, 'call me Magnum PI....'

 

lol! i said i wanted something newer than a 99!

 

Sorry, I missed your later post, and I didn't realise this was to replace your current car.

Whatever you choose, it will need to one hell of a car to justify that type of insurance cost. If it's not a factor; great, enjoy it for all it's worth.

 

£25K ?

Hmmm...

Lotus Excel SE, one of the best balanced cars ever made
M3 E30 Superb car, enough said
My 99MY Impreza

With the left over change, Id insure them and road tax them all ! and then wait for the 5K engine rebuild on the Lotus !

 

i was thinking honda nsx or an evo 8 fq 340...

 

Yes mr 340 no doubt.

 

Think I'd go for something a bit mad - say S2 Elise fitted with HondaK20A engine - supercharged to give you 300 bhp and 210 lb/ft torque. Bring on your mr 340

 

I had a p1 for 4 years and in the end i didnt drive it much, less than 500 miles in the last 6 months. I didnt know what to buy, but in the end I went for a 22b. Cant get myself out of it now! Even though the power is the same. Cant expalin it, its a very special thing being able to drive a 22b. Take one out for a drive and youll know what i mean
