but they were money pits, and hardly paragons of reliability.

do try to keep up.

Keep up with what? The point you were trying to make made no sense.

i underlined the part of the post i was referring to....

Every so often I toy with the idea of an E46 M3 Cabrio and a 530i Sport as a sort of uber two car collection...

All I want is a VX220NA. in blue with biscuit leather seats. Probably an early one, previously cat-d.

Looking at E60's and current model S80's.

Both are under 10k now and should be in my price range by January if my bonus comes through

[TW]Fox · 23 Aug 2008 at 20:59

I wouldnt touch a sub £10k E60 with someone elses barge pole let alone mine

It's world full of wrecked junk and cloth seat fitted 520i's, and they are all the weirdly ugly yet boring SE.

Despite having only owned my current car for 2 weeks (and I'm still happy with it), I keep thinking about this. If it were to be another Alfa, I might go backwards and take a 155, a V6. Other marques; maybe an old Audi Quattro.

Sone · 23 Aug 2008 at 21:03

there seemed to be a few 1 owner 525i (all SE though) and better with leather on autotrader?

As they are out of my budget i havent seen any in the flesh but lots look good.

DampCat · 23 Aug 2008 at 21:04

ST200. Viewing atm. maybe an ST220 if i can push the budget or find one that needs some attention.

[TW]Fox · 23 Aug 2008 at 21:04

Like I said, just the bottom end stuff.

Save more pennies and get a the 530i Sport.

I want to got Margarita, Venezuela this year aswell though. Just need to find someone suitable to go with

(if you have got norks email in trust

)

I was toying with the idea of a Megane R26, having owned two RenaultSports previously, but I think I'll end up going for an E46 330ci M Sport or Clubsport.

Look out for my very own 'spec me a car under £13k' thread soon!

I really, really, really want to clear off round Europe for a month or two in the 5 Series. I think it would be absolutely epic. It would also be way more fun than getting a new car..

Jon Frost · 23 Aug 2008 at 21:33

Mk2 escort, RS2000 to add to the collection, probably next year though.

loltim · 23 Aug 2008 at 21:40

I actually fancy a MK1 Fiesta with a modern Zetec engine :confused:

With some stretched tyres?

Foiled · 23 Aug 2008 at 21:44

VW Touran or Citroen C4 grande MPV type thing for me

RWD, arched, slammed, running on throttle bodies?
SCORE.

Sonea Fifer · 23 Aug 2008 at 22:42

I'll be keeping my Golf and Fiesta for a while - the VW will probably be the first to go and I'll be back looking at MK1 MR2's - really want to get another one

Oooo, can I come? I also think it might be nice to just go driving around Europe, have toyed with the idea myself. Might be a bit mroe comfortable in something bigger than the Focus though.
