Bro please dont reply!!

After the evo 9 and bafore the x arrives? has to be an everyday user?

Or do I throw money down the pan getting the evo to the 400/400 mark?

Without having to spend loads of

400/400 ?

Let's be realistic, money down the drain. You don't use it.

Maybe you should indeed consider a proper V8 RWD car.

Issue is that quite a few cars like the Corvette, Z8, etc are LHD only.

Or ever considered an RS4 ?

RS4 no thanks-overpriced!! LHD doesnt bother me had LHD before and no problems!!

I would use 400/400 in a straight line

Use it in a straight line ? Dude ! You were sh1tting yourself when I was hitting 155 on an unrestricted motorway !

Maybe you could consider a Corvette of a few years old ?

You even said yourself mate that being a "passenger" is not a comfortable place to be.

You have NO control over any consequences !!!

When I met you and 1mposter mid Nurburgring, you guys were looking for a parkingspot ! :lol:

Still PMSL when I think of the sight of you hugging the right hand side of the track, Martin stuck up your bumper and both of you going over the top at the Carrousel

:bang:

Sorry mate, muppeting the tread.

Back on subject:

How about a BMW Z8 ? There is a 2001 with 40K miles on Autotrader at 56K.

Posted: **Sat Oct 14, 2006 10:20 pm**

Or a Viper ?

A Viper GTS (Blue, white lines

) of 12K also on Autotrader. 34995...

What do you like yourself, Spike ?

You want a fire-breathing rallymonster again ? Or a RWD sportscar ?

Ever considered an Alfa Romeo SZ ?

Check these links out.

Alfa SZ

Alfa RZ

Hows about a BMW M3 Evo, your for 10 of the hard earned grands!!!! :wink:

Posted: **Sat Oct 14, 2006 11:15 pm**

Or how about an Alpina B10 V8S ?

This one has 30000 miles and costs 53K Euros, so approx 35K GBP.

4.8V8, 375 bhp and

Nah, if you get an M3, you want an original E30 M3 Evo, with the 235bhp 4-cilinder. Cult car :bow:

Could be an idea though.

Along the same lines: Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution 2... If you thought the scoob had a big wing... Look at this : Evo 2

This car is brand-new !

For 20K, you can have a used car thoug with 30-35K miles on the clock.

Posted: **Sat Oct 14, 2006 11:31 pm**

Got it, Spike !!

An MVS Venturi ! They were a small manufacturer of sportscars up to a few years ago. Hand built and great reputation on track.

Looked for one and this one is

A GT400: MVS ad

Unlike TVRs etc, these are reasonably reliable.

The GT400 was in fact a car built for GT racing. They made 15 roadgoing cars. 430 bhp and 1050 kgs...
You wanted straight line performance ???

I do like these cars,there used to be a woman at the end of our road who had a venturi in red,looked just like a F355

Posted: **Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:08 am**

Here you got one that looks like an F40

I just love the entire rear opening to show the enige.

And with that power/weight ratio, it probably goes like one too.

Fraser would need close to 550bhp to get anywhere close on a dry, straight road :wink:

mmmmm,saw th epics,not really an everyday runaround I can park on the street though mate :shock:

Posted: **Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:28 am**

Why not ? You were parking a far more desirable car on your street: the Porsche.

This one is LHD, so should attract much less attention. And no way someone can nick it without getting noticed. There's only 15 around :wink:

Go on, Spike, you only live once !!! :angel:

Posted: **Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:31 am**

Quick translation of the ad:

First reg: 7/94. One of the 15 built for road use. 22000kms (so 13750 miles), no accidents, 2nd owner, 430bhp for 1050kgs, has aircon, black leather inside.
