What new Tin Top Toy?
Ok, to cut a long story short the 100e has gone...no time..work, family and all that jazz...(No suprises there !!)
SO
I have £2kish for a new 'toy' I would like something fast and fun but nothing big cos it has to go in my garage. I have 14ft at a
sqeeze!
I hired a new Golf Deisel GT last year which really put a smile on my face and made mee feel 17 again which is what i want from the next ride. MUST be
tx'd, tested and ready to blow my mind!!!!
Ok guy's, get suggesting http://locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/bigsmiley.gif

I've just been a bit of a child and bought a 306 gti6. Cracking car if you get around the fact it's french, a more liveable/modern 205
1900 GTI you could say. You can get a very reasonable to very good one for that money. Not toooo bad on fuel if you drive carefully but with the best
bit of 170bhp and a cracking 6-speed box it can sometimes be rather tempting to give it some beans.

When was the last time you looked? I could have sworn you had an MX5 a few years ago.

I had a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo from new and it was a fragile thing back then. Gawd knows what they're like for 2k. Money pit at a guess. Amazingly
practical car however. Massive boot, four proper seats and proper fast, especially good for overtaking. Not a great handling car as standard tho.

Not too keen on French cars to be honest although the Williams appeals.
Like the look of the VW Golf VR6. Anyone had one?

Nice!!! Insurance is pretty good too.
