Always though of an old style low roof tansit van in black with afterburner lights at the back, lowered on some nice wheels. but an astravan is more realistic! 
I shpunked £11k on my MR2 when I was 19 - wish I hadnt now because you can get a nice car for half that!! Got back £7k when I sold it 2 years later!!
No sure about driving a van of any discription - I borrow a few in work & there pish

Very sensible Stu 
I have a light clutch and a small drive to work and i do sit in traffic but there are 2 derestricted roads there and back, means i can jump all the loosers doing 30 in a 60!
I built my car for a reason, it gets driven everyday. My clutch aint too bad, its cheapish to fix so im all good
Unless i had stacks of cash i wouldnt drive my p1 everyday either stu

Ive never driven one, but ive been in plenty, includig B3.3 alpinas. Think they are lovely cars! A good alrounder.
Ive driven a 328i convertible as me mum has had 2 as well as a 325 conv and a 328 coupe. And a 328 tourer, did i mention my mum and dad like BMW's?
Had an M3 Evo coupe for a couple of years a while back!
See http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=208555 as to why I hated it!

Thats it innit, I definitely do not have stacks of cash after just moving house! Ive luckily just managed to settle what I owed on the P1 before I moved or else its days may have been numbered!

Im not a fan of the old bmws,
maybe few old alpinas and the old classics from the early 70's but the rest in between i dnt like!
The new m3 csl and the 330ci floats my boat but for that cash id again have a nice kit car and something fun for daily drive!
