That's a shock Roger. I know us were talking about it the other week but didn't think you would sell this early. Here's my thoughts mate. I'd be in the same Budget if I sold up. £5K maybe £6k Tops!

Mondeo ST 220. Every toy you can have and 223bhp.

Mazda6 MPS. 260bhp 4 wheel drive.

BMW 530 Sport. Top Spec

Accord Type R. Another 220bhp motor

Corolla T-Sport Compressor. Supercharged

sorry to hear that roger, now i know that i might get laughed at here but these are great as a toy, after all you still have the ford, and they dont cost a fortune to run, and are V. fast. as for looking a tw*t though, there is always a helmet. honestly though, i would have one, px too!

I know what it was Rog, you just didnt look at Impreza's in the same light after seeing my White Wonder did you!! haha

Sorry to hear you're selling up mate. Just think carefully mate, although I'm pleased with my car and glad I swapped I still do miss my scoob!

Can you stretch to...

I know its a bit out of your budget but you get a lot of car for the money. They are alot of fun and easy to tune for very little cash, trust me!!
