The word 'Marque' and 1500 quid look a bit odd when used in the same sentence lol
Honda Prelude V-tecs are getting cheap so may be worth a look

lol ok spadge 'make'.

I want a good van that wont let me down so im saying about 2500 for that.,, so 1500 on a car leaves me a good wedge to crack on with the house

hmmm, maybe al just wait till the house is done and get meself an M3! Reckon they will be sub 20k by then

dont think the clubs will fit in a crx will get them in the passenger seat and thats about it lol
just get yourself along to the auctions and see what available for the money.
worst bit about them is you always wanna spend a little more

I'm telling you the crx is the way forward, you wont need to worry about it breaking down and costing you a fortune and it will sell easy when its time to get shot. O and as a bonus they do 100 miles to a 10er and have nearly 160bhp.
