Missus needs a car after i gave her last one away

i wasnt really too fussed, but now the M3's in the garage i need something to drive myself

so, she's after a small car (could probably go up to an escort size) preferably 5door, and she has her hear set on an automatic (she has a manual licence, but her brain isn't evolved enough to cope with more than 2 pedals)

last car was an old phase1 Clio 1.4 RT (which i hated with a passion)

so guys, what do we think? suggestions?

i want an E36 BMW, but she ain't having none of it

can you get any auto-dervs that ain't huge? mondeo perhaps? i quite fancy a turbo diesel

 

Veyron?

 

it ticks all the right boxes, except for rear visibility, so no

 

just looking on ebay, what do we think to mk6 escort? theyre cheap as chips, automatic, and shouldnt be hard to maintain?

 

Probably depends on how much you want to spend Jim

 

ford auto boxes are shit
well thay use to be thats how come thay dident make any for a good few years

i got a golf auto needs a engine but apart from that its a good car

 

well, i wanted her to spend about 506k and get something nice, but she thinks that cars should cost 200quid and last forever

anyway, i recon 1.5k tops, preferably 1k as now that i need something to drive i don't really care

 

If you wait a couple of months you can buy my car with a nice new bonnet and Boot!!!!! £1.5k

 

306 td not sure if they do an auto

 

anna, i think it needs to be auto

and i wanna buy one this weekend

 

jim loads of vw autos on ebay

 

Mondeo or a omega?

 

Jim, you know where Birkbecks two ramps are in their unit? Well just to the left of there some bird sells small run abouts from there.

She drives a boxter mind and does it "for pocket money".... We all think she drinks from the furry cup but thats just our thoughts on her PMSL

I have her number if you want it, she has Corsa's, Ka's, Pugs, Vw's just to name a few.....

Pop down and have a nose around fella, i'll be down there soon anyway.

 

i have a Mk4 golf TDI, its a manual, but has a fooking wicked whoooosh when floored

 

thats not a bad idea actually paul!

got the number?

 

Jim, what about a BMW Compact mate? Much better than a shonky old Ford, and not as big and hard to drive (for a woman obviously!) as the regular E36.

 

i've tried REALLY hard to push for an E36, but it's not happening

 

bought an escort 1.6i ghia today

not a bad car, not mint, but in good nick.

paid 1200quid so it wasnt a bargain, but it wasnt my money, and i wanted her to buy a car QUICK so i could drive it
