danny. Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Ok, I meant the 3 litre BMW 1 series? Just the most powerful one of the class before they brought out the coupe?Fu ck it, I prefere the audi S3 anyway! haha, thats the petrol one then! proper rocket, 6 cyliners, 2 turbos, VVT, vrooom! £30k tho, ouch I'd like one of these for general use/motoway (335d) and this for the weekend (exige)
The People's Hero Posted 27 February 2008 Author Posted 27 February 2008 My boss has the 6 series, the one with a ridiculous (sounding anyway) turbo on it. It's ridiculously quick. Automatic though.
Tommeh Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Amazingly I'm already looking for a new car despite only having my current one 4 months. I'll probably stick with it till summer and save up some money untill then. Looking for something much sleeker and with a bit more go (although when it's a polo I've currently got just about anything qualifies!!) A renault Megane Coupe is currently taking my fancy probably one between 97- 2000 Anyone had one of these? Any advice? TPH, this is what I'd look at with your criteria an alfa GT obviously there are always reliability issues but this is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Also reguarding cars, I think I'm in love £78,000. One for the future for me.

'tis a lovely car I love the interiors in alfa's too. My friend has a red 156, red leather seats, red leather trim, everything, looked awesome
Bellend Sebastian Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Actually, I had some interest in my motor yesterday, so I may change in the next month or two. If anyone can think of anything more exciting - yet still gloriously practical, of course - than another Astra that isn't going to cost much more than £6000, let's hear it
The People's Hero Posted 27 February 2008 Author Posted 27 February 2008 Thanks Tommeh - and yeah, that's a beautiful car (they both are). One of my ambitions is to one day have a maserati. On the subject of alfas, the appeal of the 159 is it looks beautiful but is apparently the most reliable of the alfas.

The People's Hero Posted 27 February 2008 Author Posted 27 February 2008 It may be quick, but isn't that just a Rover 400 with some bits stuck on it? I'm not sure it's me Something like that. I'd rip the spoiler off for a start. Looks horrid.
danny. Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 It may be quick, but isn't that just a Rover 400 with some bits stuck on it? I'm not sure it's me same base yea, doesn't drive anything like a 400 tho. A bit OTT/boy racer looking?
danny. Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Something like that.I'd rip the spoiler off for a start. Looks horrid. You should have seen the spoiler on my mate's 156, was even bigger than this http://www.mj-carstyling.net/images/alfa-1...oiler-sport.jpg looked like some kind of aeroplane

coale39 Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Think im gonna get a Seat Leon in the summer. Great cars!
The People's Hero Posted 27 February 2008 Author Posted 27 February 2008 Think im gonna get a Seat Leon in the summer. Great cars! I'm led to believe that a Leon is effectively a Golf with a few different bits and bobs and different stylings. I personally don't like them that much but they're supposed to be a good drive.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 same base yea, doesn't drive anything like a 400 tho. A bit OTT/boy racer looking? You could say that! I think my boy racer days (if I had any) are WELL behind me. Plus, I don't think I could own a car that has British Leyland heritage http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...mp;max_mileage=Wow, check the length of THAT link! Yeah, I think they're pretty nice. That's not the current one though, or is it?
The People's Hero Posted 27 February 2008 Author Posted 27 February 2008 Pepper Red Fiesta. He was a beaut. I had to sell him when the suspension was about to fall apart after giving one of my VERY fat mates a lift. True story. I still see him round Maidstone at times.
Tommeh Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Think im gonna get a Seat Leon in the summer. Great cars! Here's the new Leon and personally I think it looks discusting, basically an MPV Although if its the old one you meant, its a nice car especially in Cupra spec.
Bert Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 The old shape type-r like someone mentioned in this thread. Awesome.
coale39 Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Oh yeah defo the old one. I don't like the new shape, looks crap IMO. And anyway, my budget wont stretch to the new shape!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Is that the mighty Astra? I don't think I could afford one of those, but I might stretch to an SXI
Maybes Posted 27 February 2008 Posted 27 February 2008 Is that the mighty Astra? I don't think I could afford one of those, but I might stretch to an SXI Yes it is. How much have you got to spend?
