200SX.

Although MR2 Turbo could be a good shout as it would suit your super gay image! (I am super manly, so it doesn't affect me! )

PON- Mate, that all been happening for a few years now, IMO the film seems to have made little difference!

Why does that not suprise me

Its not that they handle badly, they TOTALLY the opposite, S14s handle so well and so progressive they make you think your a drift god, right up until that moment where you sideways into a lamppost

Soo many mates of mine have wrote em off, but still go and buy another, they awesome

Early Evos, ie 1,2,3s are TOTAL bargains too, 2.5k can get you a nice one, never mind 3.5k! And thats for a car just as new and just as capable as an EscCos
Matt from J-Tuner just bought a really nice Evo2 for 2300quid, SeanB bought one for 2.5k IIRC and loved it, and so on...

Will they bollocks As youl be driving round on your own like a gay billy-no-mates as you darent take a mate with you as apart from 2 blokes cruisng round in an MR2 will look mega hom, you will be under some sad delusion that an MR2 or any normal sporty car will pull birds for you and you need a spare seat for that girl

MR2 turbos are fast cars, but should be bought for the performance, no other reason, as those reasons dont exist

Don't mean to piss on you all conquering manlyness there steve you famous journalistic love stud you

But girls are far more into a lad with an MR2 than they are to a ford escort. And yes, I'm sure we all know how fantasticley wonderful you are cos you pull burd every time you leave your house And we mere mortal men can only dream of being like you one day

But anyways, beats a fucking 200SX doesn't it? As they're utter shite, unless you're a plank who thinks drifting is cool

Contrary to peoples sad delusions, a car, unless its a fucking ferrari or summat proper special, do NOT pull birds, they might like it more, but wont help you get on em.

Sad crooz munters will be on it more, but birds like blokes, not what gay car they got, even the sad crooz munters would only go for the goon in the nice car if they cant get anyone decent, regardless of car.

Birds might prefer one car to anyother, but unless you got FUCK ALL going for you a bird aint gonna pick you over the next goon just cause they like your car a bit more

Yea get all the laydeez without saying a word, even if looked like sloth of the goones, im gonna go drive my car round a pub or a nightclub and slay em all, glad the place has wide doors and wheelchair access

FFS what world do people live in

Anyhow Keith is gay, so its all irrelivant
