Still not sure if I'm gonna keep my GSI after the work has been done this month but if I do I've been looking into what to get next.

What do you lot think of Fiesta RS Turbo's????

Was also considering either a 106 GTI (bit too much $$$) or a R5 GTT (bit fragile and hard to find a good one)

JK, I think there's something wrong with your profile. It says you're from Mansfield not Essex.....

I'm looking to spend £3k or less buying one and looking on RSOC a lot of them have either had part or full engine rebuilds so if I can get one like that it should hopefully be pretty reliable.

Got a few good mechanic mates so I'll get them to check it over fully b4 I make a purchase.

nice reply Pete LOL

Always liked RS fords though and I know they have a bit of an image but still good cars I reckon.

Look for an RS1800 then? Not as quick, but a fair bit newer and can look tidy.

I don't mind turbo's, don't get me wrong. My old Cav Turbo was great fun, but 90% of the time I'm happier with the torquey reliability of a big V6.

My Cav was so much more fun than any Corsa I've ever driven. Still I guess you're just ignorant.

Nope, I don't go around slating cars I don't like. I'm too old for that.

The Calibra Turbo is a good car, but it's looking dated and is a lot more common.

This on the other hand, is a thing of beauty.
