Possibly not. Running costs plus one off purchase costs are putting me off.
In my thoughts at the moment are totally different cars.

350Z in azure blue nice one on pistonheads for 16k
Evo VIII MR maybe a 6 if the car/price is right
Even a VX220 turbo in black can get these for 13-14k

Same thoughts on the EVO costs wise. If I could pick one up for 12k looking at either a 6 or 7 it would offset the running costs somewhat. But not too fussed.
Want a bit of everything. Comfort, looks, speed. 350Z fits the package best.
Can't see the VX220T being too comfortable but the acceleration maywell make up for it ;)
 
If you get an Evo it'd have to be a 6/6.5!

Agreed on the 350Z.

Trust me, comfort isnt something you'll get with an Elise/VX but everything else makes up for! Remapped VXT would sort you out...shame the handling isnt up to that of the N/A version.

vx220 is such a homo car iv decided

the turbo model might sound beefy but at the end of the day its just an elise with a different engine :p

350z is cool and id love one, just not after owning the ibiza. by the time id want one id rather a 911 instead

how gay though, selling up before me :lol:

karl havent you got to get a decent job first? daz can walk the talk as hes earning mega bucks (**** :) ) but the likes of me and you are scrapping the barrel with phil and matt coming somewhere in between, duno about tom :) lol

anyone got any cupra related fiddles on this weekend then? got my shiny new intercooler to fit and sort the interior out, steam clean the seats if i can get my hands on one, they messed up my pay in work today through the agency so rbs sorted it all out for me and even gave us some tesco £20 vouchers to sort us through the weekend (i think they thought i lived on my own, not with my parents so thats going on booze ;) )

LOL yeah true

once iv graduated it shouldnt be too hard, more whether i can be arsed or not

technially Daz has a year on me, if we'd been at school he'd been in the year above me even though he's like only 2 months older than me. part of me wishes id gone for an apprenticeship at corus or whitbread or something. main reason i went to uni was cos of a girl and all my mates were doing it. i do wish i hadnt bothered now
