Spec me a Ride.

Ok Guys & Gals I've took a dipper on the Camper & will be cashed out Thursday 2300 quids.

Shall we have some fun suggestions from the community. I'm going to spend between 1500 & 2 grand & have No idea what to get.
I've had a browse & seen a couple of MX5's but I don't even know whether I will fit in one, I do know I fit in a Mr2 mk2 though & I like them. I also like me 4x4s as well but Honestly I am not fussed & am a bit lost this time round.
So what's a good buy at the mo for around that money ?

The two you mentioned really, the MX5 or SW20 (Mk MR2). Decent examples can be seen marked up for 2k.

I presume you're not bother about practicality besides fitting one self in the car?

Practicality means nowt to me as long as me & Frank staffy dog can fit in it.

Why don't you sell the VTR as well mate, and get something a little better?

Could get a nice MK2 MX5 1.8iS for that then

Although dog + convertible = hilarious. My mate puts his german shepherd in his MK3 MR2

Can somebody just ban him for 6 weeks so he can sod off and enjoy his much hyped holiday?

Loving the bull nosed Xr2s'. :cool:

Been out & about & spoke to a few mates, Seems pound for pound a Scooby would be a hell of a lot of car for 2k. Thoughts ?

Like I said, if you are buying this car "for a bit of fun", why not sell the VTR and add more cash to the purchase?

Plenty of room for the dog although not the fastest car in the world

Love these, my vote goes here if you can stomach the running costs, apparantly things can and will go wrong, and they're thirsty.

VTR went a month or so ago mate.

InvaderGIR · 22 Jun 2009 at 15:02

No offence but do you actually plan on keeping it longer than it takes for the V5 to arrive?

Over the last few months you've changed cars so many times.

4T5 · 22 Jun 2009 at 15:04

Yep this is a keeper, I had my Vitara for 14 months which is the longest I've ever kept a motor but since selling it I've been through a few. I'd have kept the camper but I just cannot turn down the profit.
