dont want a boy racer car tbh

was more thinking subtle buy stylish


INFACT I JUST WANT A BOXSTER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, FUCK IT SHE CAN GET A BUS AND ILL TAKE THE KID IN THE CAR WITH ME


the only audi i like is the rs6,,, and thats not moved in price for a while


the list of cars iv got so far is

lotus elise,,,,,,,,,,,, needs a extra seat
boxster, seat again
cerbera,,,,,,,,,, mate of mines getting one,,,,,, nothing worse than copying people ( hope nobody with MO's see this post )
adding 4k and getting a tuscan,,,,,,,, but again,,,,,, missing the back seat so getting the extra cash would cause a issue

did think of a jag or some description but dont think they are what im looking for

help people as all th cars i like have 2 seats,,,,,,,, its like they dont expect people to have kids these days

what about an e46 330i? Relatively quick and refined too, just a bit thirsty if you hammer it.

steve i aint looking for a balls out performance car tbh, just a pretty looking car

ive already got a 325i e36 with m3 lights, leather trim ect and tbh they dont look much different,,,,,,,,,, i could get the bumpers ect fitted for another grand and no fooker will know as you seen how i drive

i want a car that when i see my pals i grew up with fits in a little as i recently went to a funeral and all my mates seem to get buy quite well and when i turned up in my old escort cabrio with m3 mirrors ect you could say i looked a dick,,,,,, and saying " ive got a old ford sierra though too sounded even worse when im talking to a mate who owe me over a grand that ive loaned him when we was 17 and he now owns a esate agents and just sold his jag and down graded to a KA to start concetrating on keeping his place running,,,,,,,,,

dont get me wrong i love my job ect just that when i used to mess about with em they all had metros/astras/novas and i had my orion turbo,,,,,,, 9 years later i turn up in a h reg escort cabrio,,,,,,,,,, see when im comming from


that said im dont wanna buy a car that in 3 years will be worth half what i payed unles its a really pretty car

M3 Evo, 4 doors are v cheap and a million miles better than your 325, or if you want 4wd then Evo 6 or good STi Scoob is in your price bracket. Driven an S4 and it was bland in comparisson tbh.

jag xjr?
otherwise the 330d bmw sounds about the best bet
unles you want to trade up and get a 5 series
the mercs also tend to be nice cars especially if you don't want that "boy racer" crap get yourself an e55 and they wo n't know whats hit them

or, totaly out of the ballpark get one of them movano things from aus with big v8's in

EVO VI for fun, BMW 330i if you want something a bit more classy.

The E36 BMW M3 is a great car and awesome value but fast becoming very chav in my opinion. Still probably your best bet overall though

not really looking for a normal tyoe car people,,,, same as im not looking for a 30k car either

think along the lines of elise's, tvr, boxster, SL500 type cars

and please no diesels,,,, no matter how mice ect id rather not own one as i fooking hate wiping the dirt of the vans at work cause by small diesel drops

M5 is tempting but tbh its not what im looking for


as for e36 m3,,,,,,, im with porkie on this one,,,, theres fooking loads where i live and also phil bought one


Quick Reply: 4 seat decent performance cars for 10k
