What about an E36 328i sport??

Very good all round car.Could get a good 1 for around £2500 easy.A few select mods will see it push out around 230-240bhp.

How about the nice diesel Corsa that you've already got, until you've saved up for a nice RS500 and then keep that in the garage for fun etc and still drive the Corsa to work?


Mate since when did you do common sense? Rover V8, Merc taxi and a Dukes of Hazzard 205 just doesnt stack up.....


Don't forget the 924 and the jet propelled shopping car.

That's what the white Corsa is for. Or the Cosworth that you could/would/should/will/better buy.

I wasn't giving him gyp. I was merely suggesting that he should buy something really good and not something mediocre.

Perhaps he should save or take out a massive loan.

The C is perfect for work and errands etc. J18 can go on a mahogany plinth in his bedroom and he can have a Grp A RS500/Lotus Carlton/VXR8/Pontiac GTO/RS1700T/ETC for playtime.
