Default Looking for a new runaround....

My main runner is a tranny camper at the mo and want to upgrade...thoughts so far are.....

Porsche Boxter..bit gay though????
Jaguar XK8 either convertable or fixed but must have 20in rims

What else???...I dont want another rally type car as the 3dr and saff are enuff ..Just want to make an ugly bloke attractive....or is there no car for me?..ROFL

Transit Campers are apparently the ideal motor for dogging ...keep it as it suits your image

How about a big engined juice guzzling Merc or BM'er ..at least if you get bored with it the resale values arent too bad if you buy it right.

ImaRacing 700, it is very obvious when a new shape M3 is a real one due to the vents in the wings and 4 exhausts etc. Not to mention they sound a lot better than the other 3 series straight 6's

16k if you look around will get you an M5 (not the lastest shape obviously) but an awesome car
