simon737 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Currently thinking:- Lotus Exige Noble M12 Ariel Atom (however that'd prompt a run around, not sure what that'd be) TVR Sagris If i suddenly become flush with cash:- Gallardo 911 (997) Turbo V8 Vantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossG Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Really not sure as a lot depends on circumstances - there are certain situations where I could be back in a Fabia vRS or an Ibiza Cupra TDi (job through in Edinburgh for example). But, assuming all stays good re a decent commute, and I can continue to afford fuel in a low 20's mpg car, then I would like to be looking at an S4 cab or a Boxster S - both used probably. If MrsRossG removes the permission to keep spending more than £250 a month on petrol, but we don't need to a TDi then a brand new Leon Cupra or Golf GTI would be a consideration. Time will tell - we all end up doing something completely different anyway Edit to say that MrsRossG is making rumblings about wanting it to be her turn to choose - so a Toureag isn't a complete impossibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Depends on what I decided to do regarding the farm. If I stay a farmer then this .... If i go back to being an FD than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redavant Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Golf Gti or A4 Cab or Touraeg so far , be a while yet before I get shot of the Avant tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove both and the M400 was a far superior car IMO. In every respect. [/ QUOTE ] oh no.... now you're putting ideas in my head [/ QUOTE ] If you're looking at a TVR Sagaris you have to test drive a Noble M400. It's also quicker...in every environment you'd care to test it! 0-100 mph in 7.9 seconds - and back to zero so fast that you'll hurt.

Woppum Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Ahh the M15, id consider that depending on the price... and servicing and usability.

rs32 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 possibly a mitsubishi evo X - but not Red like Robin's at some point will have to try a B5 RS4 Avant - there's something about the shape and aggressive stance. Oh and 380 bhp plus well-known and relatively price-friendly tuning available. More in fantasy land the choice would be latest 911 turbo (I wish) alfa sz zagato maserati ghibli biturbo but there's a demon at work saying "Lancia" for some reason. I just need to get back into "buy a mad italian electrical nightmare from the 90's" mood and could maybe own one as a second car lhd makes things a bit more interesting too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Something bigger than a Fabia and newer than my old Audi. House is 1st on the list, but possible future cars may include BMW 330D Sport A4 - Avant & Quattro of some type or other SEAT Leon Cupa / FR Touareg May opt for a MKII GTi as a 'my' car and a family wagon Plus, I could do with a van, so who knows what I'll get, just wait and see how it pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Either (not in order of preference): - Another VW GTI - Mk6 or 7 but has to be as good as the Mk5 I have. - VW R32 Mk6 (next generation .:R) - Mitsubishi Evo Concept-X (as pic) - Probably my favourite but subject to boot space. Each one very much subject to test drives, but, of course, in red! [/ QUOTE ] I like that! Very nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt it was shame that Lancia stopped selling in the UK, but on the other hand the modern Lancia's just don't cut the mustard IMO, they ain't easy on the eye either.

Drewcam Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Thats funny, i got asked this very question at Paxton House. My answer was that i cant see beyond the S4 because its all i have wanted for the past 3 or 4 years, and then circumstances allowed me to get one. But to answer the question i would like to look at the new RS6 when it comes out and i would love an S8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torino101 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Almost certainly one of these: S2000 But with a slight outside chance it might be one of these: 330 Clubsport Still can't quite decide!

5to1 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] 997 Turbo DB9 Another Gallardo Coupe (same colour as the spider on Top Gear) Gallardo Spider (Same colour as Top Gear, but not the orange seats) LP640 And if I go mad Miura Oh yeah, I'm tempted to get a Brera to replace the BMW. [/ QUOTE ] OOO fiver im a dribbling. The LP640 would be fantastic, if a bit wide... The new Gallardo is supposed to have a far better set up. I think you could get bored with the 997TT or the DB9. Maybe better on long journeys but they just wont stir the soul... [/ QUOTE ] The 997TT and DB9 are on the list to address the main problems with the Gallardo. Lack of concealed storage (probably only a little better in the 997, but enough) and two seats. This mean I could use the car virtually as my main car, rather then a second one. But like you said, I'll probably hanker for another Lambo soon after. The Gallardo, well I haven't had another car thats kept me happy so long. Usually after a year i'm looking enviously at something else. Whereas after almost 2 years I'd still be happy keeping this one. But it looks like i'm going to be pretty busy over the next couple of months. And probably out of the country quite a bit. So it really makes sense to change it now (lazyness aside), when the market for them is really good. And being without won't bother me, since I won't be able to use it anyway. Normally I wouldn't consider the LP640, because when we had one for a while it was a pain during the day to day journeys (was LHD though). And I'm really not into having cars like these for the weekend only. But I turn 30 next year so I need something to cheer me up. Thats why the Muira is seriously on the list for the first time, althought perhaps I should save that for 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5to1 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 BTW did any of you see the 599 on Fifth gear? Looked so much better then the pics suggested (as I suspected). But I'm hesitant to consider a V12 Ferrari in its first year. As you never know to what extent your going to take it up the *** come sale time.

TP27 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 The three cars in the melting pot are :- 1) Passat Coupe (in 3.6 litre R guise). 2) Scirocco/Corrado R36 3) MK6 Golf R36 Depends on what actually goes into produuction. Likely to change vehicle in Spring 2008. Still very tempted by an B7 RS4 though !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worth trying a 430 too. More space than the Gallardo, quicker and usable everyday... I haven't tried the Gallardo though so I have no thoughts of comparison...
