what do you all think?

what do you all think?
he started off with a saxo vts, then spent 4k on stereo install. sold it after 4 months and got a astra gsi turbo. hes was thinking of getting a cossie, but now a scooby. been quoted ?2500 for insurance (hes 21).

[?Marty?]

get a scooby and only spend ?1.5 on ice.

:roll: ?4k on ice!? what's the point. (i'm not an i.c.e guy, as you can tell).

Tho i dont like scooby's. Farmers cars.

Get an RX 7.

[Fester]

Subaru

rx7 is a very nice car. i should mention that one to him.
i dont know what to say to him. a lad i know had a scooby. crashed it so hard that he broke every rib in the shape of the steering wheel. broke leg in two places and fractured his hip and pelvis. just started walking again now after 3 months. lets face it, nice cars. but a 21 year old behind the wheel of a 350 brake car. i'd give him 6 months to kill himself or the car!

[Fester]

neither an rx-7 nor impreza is '350 brake'!

ye olde nippon cars dont officially get released with more than '280bhp'*


no guarantees expressed or implied :lol:

[dan_mk1]

if he goes with the rx-7 he better have big pockets for petrol money!!
iv heard of people getting 7MPG when booting it! :o
nice car tho!

[srs1]

dont think he cares about that. he spent ?75 driving around one night.

fester, its a jap import, slightly modded.

i still think too much for it. i bet he could get a...... well for 20k that 2.83 beast. now that would make him smile.

[jkhilton]

It all depends on the amount he wants to spend. He could pick a scooby up for around 5or6k, but the chances are it'll be riddled with problems. What is he looking to spend?

[srs1]

not 100% sure. i know his saxo was brand spanks, the astra cost 15k, and he was going to straight swap it for the cossie. i reckon he's gonna try and just straight swap one for one.

[Alex]

isn't the RX-8 out yet. They look good :D

[dave.gsi]

tell him to buy a gti-r. take off the stupid bonnet scoop and spoiler and then go out whooping scoobies 8)

[rally_slag]

yeh the rx-8 is out now was driving behind one the other day v.nice motor and v.quick to.and yeh pulsers are rapid tell him to get one of them bit different to every1 else. :roll:

[chenco]

tell him 2 get a nova. u kno it makes sense

[Cara]

tell him 2 buy my civic

[jkhilton]

There was an RX8 at the classic car show at Tatton park a few weeks ago, they are mint! I like the crazy doors on them and the TV screen in the dash.

[Jules]

Keep the GSi turbo - parts are readily avaliable if it goes wrong and I imagine a whole lot cheaper!!

[Rach]

depends on the scooby.
if it's the original, go for that.
if not, stick with the astra gsi.

[srs1]

just so you know, he bought the scooby. it is apparently 320 brake.

ste, can you confirm this as you were in it last night looking for a fuse.

[?Marty?]

The RX8 is a VERY nice car. Pricers start from ?22k.
