The WANT thread!

[Diddums]

You know how this works, you post stuff that you'd love to own but can't due to finance / non-understanding woman / moneypit / whatever.

So Mondeos and 3 series need not apply. The only other rule is that the car must actually be for sale, so no poster children!

If you want, you can also add why you want this car.

I'll kick it off with this:

My mom used to drive me to school and back in one of these. Not a Mexico, just a standard 1.6 and I never appreciated the car at the time. When something like this pops up, I remember the good old days, and I'd love to own one of these!

Thirsty though, may as well go for a Viper if you want a monster engine

Over-generalising thread is over-generalising.

So an E30 M3 need not apply? What about an E36 M3 Evo Convertible?

I'd take either over a any Escort.

Well aren't you just a lovely person to be around.



That 8 series is lovely too. I'd happily buy one but I suspect that it could throw some serious bills.

thought it was a realistic want thread rather than "dream" all would be sitting in p1's then

Yep, this. It was also meant to be a thread where folks can post actual ads for cars, things you bump in to surfing the net and think "oooooh errrr missus" but can't for whatever reason.

Still, loads of great posts here and tons of very sexy metal (A Radical has been so far off my radar I'd forgotten they even exist) so I'd say it's a fun thread regardless.

If push comes to shove you can live in your car. You can't race a house.

That is very awesome, but not £62k awesome for me. £45k and it'd be a very different matter.

Now THAT is a beautiful machine. Stunning. Every detail is there, even the white lettered tyres.

Oh my. Please excuse me, I need a moment



I wonder what it's going to fetch eventually. I'm guessing £20m+

I'm very tempted to pick this up. At this money I could enjoy it for a month, drive it until it goes bang, throw it in the bin and move on.

I sense that the resistance from the wife may be strong however.

There's more to life than Evos Mal

Glossing over the fact that people are not very good at reading, here's an actual ad:

Now THAT looks like fun. Yes please

I don't think I could justify £30k on a 12 year old 3 series, but this is pretty awesome!
