I vote for a big bag of coke and a couple of cheap hookers and about a 100 assorted condoms, should keep you out of trouble for the weekend.

but ask yourself the intelligence of a grown man that covers his car in wrc stickers.


would he have the brains to check the oil,service it or warm it up or would he get straight in rev to 6k and cruise to the nearest mcdonalds and do a handbrake turn.

£3k would probably get you a standard-ish bugeye WRX or even a classic turbo 2000 !! But as long as you dont expect them to be mint low mileage cars, you should be fine!!!

im assuming he meant impreza as he is on scoobynet, if he just meant anything for 2k it could be a very long thread.
