Default 7k budget? help

hiya guys,

the scooby went in jan to allow some debts to be paid and get everything sorted. well surprising how a couple of good months at work and not owning an expensive scooby can do wonders for your bank and finances...

anyways after having a bit of fun in my vr6 golf for a couple of months i have got some cash together and have got a budget of £7k to spend..

was going to look at my dream car of getting an m3 evo but am thinking about other options... any ideas appreciated. has to be a car i can use every day so no kit cars etc....

open to any ideas! got to be quick and fun and reliable.

cheers

You've just got yourself out of debt by getting rid of an expensive to run car and you're promptly about to buy another expensive to run car?

it wasnt the running of the scooby that got us into debt it was the amount of money that we spent tuning it and modding it! have learnt from my mistakes

Forget the car, go to a Casino and stick it all on red - you only live once
