Default What have i done ???

Fook me its hitting me now that i am missing a powerfull car since selling my stage 3 saph in january

bought a sensible focus estate for the pram carrier and shit , really crackin car to drive and actually rate it better than a previous mondie st24 i had and that was superb but its just not for me


so after my holidays in august and ford fair ill be hunting for another quick car me thinks and ill be back in my derv escy van by then aswell for cheapness commuting

so is it back to a cossie , or go jap for newer and maybe better reliability like a scooby or evo ????

evo wise it would need to be a 4 for cash as i aint into debt ,lol

but i see u can get scoobys for not bad money at all

lol decisions eh? where does your heart lay matey? you could get an evo and love it. but a 4 isnt much newer than a cossie.or you could buy a scooby and love it too but still have an urge to go back to a shonky cossie

when you say evo 4 it depends on how much you think they are
worth, i have seen them for 4 and a half grand and also 8 grand
at garages,the prices of them seem all over the place.
the sti imprezas use loads of fuel as everday cars, my old sti type ra
was crap on fuel but very very fast.
my old evos had kids jumping about waving when they saw them and
all sorts of berks wanting to race them.
if i needed a good all rounder it would be a uk spec impreza
for 5 grand ish,i have seen a minta w reg with 70k for that
the buggie eye ones are difficult to sell unless cheep or sti'd up
with the big spoilers and morrette lamps.
btw estates are good news at the mo as the van bans down the local
tips mean with a estate you can still get in and chuck your load without
paying

i just love cossies col,when ive had the cash ive thought about evo and scooby but always swayed back to ford

when realistically u get a low milage jap thats never seen salty roads for same if not less cash and for performance

a scooby sti type ra are extremely quick and handle like fuck,dont look the best but the ra is special so many uprated parts

and evos look quality but the countrys now flooded with them and in my eyes dont make them special anymore although id still like 1 but only if i could keep my cossie too and theres no way i could afford that
