I am looking for a 2 seater or cabrio or coupe for 4K?

Any ideas.

Thanks.

 

Escort Cab?

MGF?

e36 bmw?

 

CRX!

Or MR2

Or even an MX5

 

4k is could be a escort turbo cabby with change to spare

 

Z3 ??

 

Show me where you can get them for Ł4k [apart from a salvage yard] and I'll buy the lot

Seriously

 

cant remember what its called but the old style audi with the v6 that has leather and all that. and is convertible. cant remember what the model name is though

for starters

 

mx5 a real drivers car (so i am told)

 

My mate has got a white rev3 MR2 t-bar this week, with blitz induction kit, dvd, leather, absolute fucking minter for Ł3500, took me out in it yesterday and it doesnt half go well, especially sideways round roundabouts

 

not much room in the boot for your curling tongs though

 

what car did you find your curling tongs fitted in then ?

fasterford -

Can you find me half a dozen 2001 + Model civics around Ł2k as well please mate, but Lowish miles and nice spec models I could retire with your hard work

You still got the ST? Sure I saw you driving past us last week, by the Station in Fleet? You were wearing a feather boa and singing along to an S Club 7 song with the window down?

 

Your saying that in jest, but my mrs's uncle is a bit err..like that. we once saw him outside the fish shop in his beetle cabrio singing along to "tragedy"

 

no mate sold it to my mate Martyn must of been him

 

Was he doing the hand movements too?

ANYWAY, back on topic, don't get an MGF unless you know a good mechanic. If the head gasket hasn't gone, it will.

I personally would go more for a car that was built specifically as a coupe/t-bar/drop top like the Mx5, Mr2 etc. EDITEDD TO ADD even the later Pug CC's are quite good if you can stretch your budget.

I've always found that full convertibles [converted from normal model cars and without the cabrio roll bar] are fun to be in but drive like shit. Saabs, 306 Roadsters, Astra Convertibles etc are IMO horrible to drive with the roof down. Horrible. Scuttle shake...

Golf Cabrios are good too for that price though

 

Got it in one Men who drive beetles....i've not seen a straight one yet

Back on Topic-

Just found this on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-FORD-ESCO...QQcmdZViewItem

Why?!?! how to make a shitty slow escort cabriolet even slower

 

theres a really nice 328 convertible for sale on ebay

 

late spec mgf gets my vote or e36 bmw coupe

 

who the hell in their right mind would buy a fucking MG

Though they are lovely in pink/purple flip paint if you are a raging homo

they should have called the MGF the HGF instead, meaning Head Gasket Failure

I know a mechanic in Yeadon who's sole business is replacing blown head gaskets on Rover/MG's, and he's doing bloody well. yet people still buy them

 

not only that but you will be fitting two head gaskets a year

 

Volvo C70 Coupe - fast as fuck, full 4 seater too

 

My uncle had one before his saab 93 - they shake like they've got parkinsons

Having said that so does the Saab

 

MR2


MR2


and



MR2

 

pegeoute 306 2.0 cab

volkswagon corrado ( coupe)

mr2 turbo would be my choice thought,

can be had from 2500, ( youd wanna be paying 4 for a decent one )

 

4k would get you a really nice Revision 3 Turbo with all the tasty bits, air con, cruise control, the premium stereo pack, T-Bar, and a few choice mods

 

the headgasket issue on the K-series has been sorted,,, what you need is a landrover freelander k-series headgasket,,,, ive got a infomation pack that was made up by one of the people who solved it,,,, he promises me it is REALLY solved finally,,,, shame its not done in enough time to save rover


fordsportjay has a 325i cabrio for sale for 3k,,, best fucking bargain ive seen for a LONG time,,, infact tempted to buy it myself


MGF is not a good idea as front bumpers are not available for them,, as is ALOT of parts,,, but the headgasket issue is sorted now

 

read my first post,, times have changed my friend,,, there about to be made reliable

 

Oh dear... and i thought having lots and lots of MG's being sent to the scrap yard was a good thing. Seems they will be littering our roads for a while to come yet, with their mock wood dashboard inserts

 

mate im sure there owners feel the same about the old mk2 escorts and sierras too,,,,, infact i know what looks better and has more safty options fitted to it


can you tell i actually like the MGF,, tempted to buy one just to test the head gasket ive been given at work

 

A lad at work had a 45 that had this ridiculous traffic master system in it. This was a 53 plate car bear in mind. It worked on GPRS and if there was traffic on the road you were on, a red light would come on, if there was busier traffic, two lights would come on.

How pointless is that?

Like watching snooker on a black and white telly

 

I was just about to say I used to know one but then I realised he had a thing about only dating girls who took it up the arse....

 

mx5

my ex had one and i couldnt help but borrow it all the time, more fun than the saff

prepare to be jeered by van drivers though!!!

 

if your not after a convertible go for the MR2, but its a pain taking out the roof and isn't really like a softtop.

 

RX7 twin turbo

 

only thing with mr2 turbo is the poxy tourque limiter in first and second ,

how do you go about removing it, there faster in third then they are in second

 

The thing thats always intrigued me about a t-top is....what if you go out when it's sunny, then when you are miles from home it starts pissing down.

I doubt you can fit the panels in the storage area at the front surely?

Do you just end up getting soaked?
