if you could have a modern car as a daily runner and a nova as a weekend car what would you choose to drive daily??

i'd be looking at a seat cupra R in yellow, or a mini cooper S in mettalic blue. both nice cars and both left me for dead today :lol:

think the 'biza cupra r runs 180bhp std. xibit; youre thinking bout the leon cupra r; they're over 200 std. ibiza is smaller, lighter so prefer that to the five door only leon. both nice though.

wouldnt mind a civic type r.

If money was no option: Astra IV GSi, Evo VIII etc.... Maybe Syline R33, altho they're actually pretty cheap on import.

Thinking realistically on the money i have... hmmm.... not a lot! I prefer older cars anyway. Maybe 205 1.9 GTi, my mate had one and it was pretty quick (nasty interior tho). As a cheap runabout I'd like to have a nova saloon as an everyday car *looks on driveway* oh look! I already have one! :lol:

Nath
06-04-04, 08:50 AM
lol i know what u mean about the saloon theres one sitting on my drive waiting for me to fit the clutch. also a mini ive gotta completly rebuild :twisted: and then best of all finish of my nova. back to the topic id love a skyline either the r33 or old skool r32!

cooper_nova
06-04-04, 01:28 PM
r32 gts's u can get for around 4k up!

Jack
06-04-04, 02:15 PM
^^ yep, they're dirt cheap.

I think mine would have to be an R34

http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v32/rachelclewer/r34.bmp

Although, i've always had a thing for GTO's...

http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v32/rachelclewer/gto.bmp

As for a classier car, there's always one of the most gorgeous cars in the world....

the Aston Martin Vanquish...

http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v32/rachelclewer/vanq1.bmp

and finally, probably a car not to many people's liking....

a classic 1956 porsche speedster

Rach
07-04-04, 01:15 PM
^^^ actually thinking about my post - only one of those cars is actually "new"... and that's the vanquish.

They've stopped making R34's, GTO's are a few years old, and the porsche is nearly half a century old... :?

Dammit, i guess i didn't quite understand the question :oops:

nevermind, eh.... :roll:

I am surprised at all of you, out of all the cars you would want, only a few you mentioned Vauxhall, were are your loyalities :?

I drive a peugeot 306 XND during the week (SHHH don't tell no one)

The old turf burner 650 to the tank nice :D

The post was asked to be kept to realistic cars, so that rules out the aston as mentioned above :P

Id personnaly like a Civic Type R, An Evo7, or a Mazda RX8.
