we're discussing why you should avoid ferraris. its not hijacked given your desire above to own one

even at 30k, its still lottery winners or captains of industry only.

Sod all the above, and get the true audi Quattro ( <3 <3 )

Firestar_3x · 25 Jan 2010 at 20:58

You could get an Audi RS4 Avant with some nice MTM upgrades for that money.

Firestar_3x · 25 Jan 2010 at 21:18

27k+ for a good un.

Thats the sort of thing I might spend a "spare" 20k on

Yes please!

Twenty bag of sand? Either a car-craft Clio or a little Lotus.

Although as it would be for travelling 10k, i'd perhaps go for something a touch more refined moving towards Firestars suggestion of a spot of Pork with the GT3 kit.

The RS6 seems to give epic value for money, its a huge beast to drive around in however, its makes the A4 seem small.

I'm a sucker for big cars.

Dad's got a new A6 and they are stupidly huge

why settle for an RS4 when you can have an HGP Golf?

I'd prolly have a squint at the VXR500.

25k gets interesting though:

CSL, B7 RS4, etc.

I think you'd be mad to drop 20k on a B5, imo. 4k gets you an S4 which looks almost the same with pretty much the same performance, post remap.

id pesonally push the budget a bit and go for something like this..

0 - 60 in 4.6 seconds and 184mph top speed, quicker than almost all newer cars listed in this thread, actually has a quicker car been posted? I don't think the TVR will do the same top speed, plus it will fall apart anyways.

Arhh the SL60 AMG I mentioned will do 0-60 in around 5 seconds, but it will do 185 with the limiter removed. No idea what the Alpina B12 can do without being limited, I should imagine it could do around that sort of speed too. They aren't new cars though that's for sure, good old '90s cars.

It's getting quite hard not to now

I wish you'd hurry up and get one instead of putting a

Alpina B12 (E38 V12 loveliness)

Whilst I agree entirely about your choice, I'm not so sure about the running costs.

Some of the Alpina specific parts for the B12 are extremely expensive....

Then again, there seems to be no set budget in this thread, so what the Hell?

An Olgf? I'd rather have the RS4, the Olgf isn't big enough car so i won't be able to shout "Get out of my way" everytime i find someone doing 40mph in a 60.
