Default In Scoobynet we trust!

Only people to ask! What should I buy the missus for less than 7 grand. Obviously it has to be fun for me and over 150 bhp and no more than 7 years old... I just canīt decide!

Jesus mate, give us some ideas! Has it got to be practical, economical etc?
Or will a 6 litre V12 do?

Just a little more money to find but what a lovely car.

Cheap to run LPG, then flick the switch when you're driving

My gf has been looking at wee sporty cars on Autotrader.

She reckons the best of the bunch are the Cooper S and the Clio 172 (etc). How much for a decent one of either of those?
