My old car....

spoonz · 10 Feb 2010 at 12:12

is for sale... and I in the last stages of doing a deal to buy it back...

After being in the market for an RS4, and being a little unconvinced as to whether it is worth double the price of an R32 :/

I thought, why not get another R and get it supercharged. Now the technology has developed into a reliable upgrade on the MK5's Ill be getting a similar bhp/tonne as the RS4. Admittedly, its not an RS4 but on the plus side I wont have the RS4 worries. (DRC, Carbon etc)

For around 21k, I could have this and 360bhp.

Standard alloys looked better IMO, but it's nice.

I would prefer the new shape golf gti though.

No, no, no. You've moved on from Golfs. Not worth it at all.

Fox wants you to get an E60

No, just not go backwards to a little hatchback

What about a nice Focus ST and save the money left over for a rainy day?

Like this: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-u...cleYearOfManufacture=2009&vehicleRegLetter=09

Get a better spec though

It also misses the best bits of the RS4, namely the rear biased 4wd and a lovely v8.

you can sort the bias on the mk5's Haldex however... still 21k would buy you some very nice couple of year old metal.

Spoonz, can I just say that you're doing it wrong?

Get something like this for 14k: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1313577.htm

Spend £6k supercharging that!

Golf or a comical sideways crash to your death whilst having the best time of your life. I know which I'd rather have

I once had an elise.
I crashed it.
I lack talent.
Monaro would result in arrival at pearly gates. Backwards. On fire.
