ain't that the truth lol but what would you buy



p.s


no one said it had to be spotless just have a little tax and mot

[Jack]

For £500? Errrmmmm.... nothing particularly fast lol

Scour ebay and see what you get lucky on. If you're not too fussed on what you get then you should have a lot of options, just keep an eye on what ending soon with not many bids.

possibly this not only does it look fun. you could try get fired into them ladies in the background when you go to collect it.

cant afford the insurance (well i can but dont like the thought of spending over 2k on some think i cant see lol)

[large_steve182]

so you want to spend 500 on something fast and fun to drive. but not to expensive to insure?

Bear in mind thats an American car. A 2.5V6 over there is equivalent to a 900cc engine over here.

LOL just looked, the 1984 Fiero gets a tarmac shredding 92bhp from that V6 engine, and weighs 1124Kgs. Mmmmm, slow lol

How about an Astra GSi or Pug 306?

not as slow as my punto lol

[large_steve182]

yeah but the fiero looks cool and theres girls in the picture lol

for 500 quid i would go for comedy rather than speed. always fancied a reliant robin for a giggle,

they do look nice but my punto has debadged sides and bumstrips so im punto is miles faster lol

[large_steve182]

just strip out the punto of everything. the noise alone will give the impression you are going miles faster. lol

Mk3 Cav SRi, early one. Fantastic car for abusing, love to hit the limiter and are easily bought for £500.

Fit some 14" Steel wheels, crack the front windscreen and have a huge burnt out Exhaust and you're elected. YOu could be one of our locat "Hoods Sham". lol

Seriously though, I love these cars.

[Jack]

bumstrips
:wtf:

[Stoo]

Bumstrips!!! Bwahahahahaha

Is that Like a quarter mile for poo?

Dont forget to do a chocolate wheelspin before you pull up to the line!

[meritlover]

what car would you buy for 500 nicker


(must be fast, must be fun to drive)

an Omega or an old Jag

[loggyboy]

I made my XE for £500, so that... but if it had to be done already id go for a 325i/320i E30.

[Stuart]

a dirty fcuker of a 106... a riot to drive (even the 1.1 ones), cheap to insure/tax/blahhh. Just they are a bit of a pig when they go wrong lol

[Jim Mcrae]

AX GT(i)

[Mike]

205 GTi or even a 106 GTi (I paid £175 for a 106 GTi on a N reg IIRC from a salvage auction lol)

[Dod]

I cant drive 106's as the pedals are too close together.

I agree with Meritlover as well as my origional suggestion of an 8v Cavalier though.

Weld the diff in the Omega and Jag and you're away like the Dukes!!
