Your Next Car?

owen · Post by **owen** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 12:56 pm

Theres me sat on the computer on a nice Saturday afternoon when the suns out trying to avoid revision

, scouting ebay and pistonheads for my next possible car, which got me thinking of this thread.

What does everyone see themselves driving as their next car?

Personally its either a;

BMW 325 E30 (hopefully a sport for the right money)
Nissan 200sx s14a touring
Or the cheaper option, a Rover turbo of some sort.

Possibly skyline if I can afford it. I am still more than happy with my rover though and wanna keep that for a long while yet.

I can see myself driving a S4 sometime soon. Revo'd and a few mods, can't wait

I seem to be drawn to old 3 and 5 series beemers at the mo ..

Want to keep my 220 turbo for a while, love her to bits.

If anyone wants an Astra Coupe, ZR Turbo oir MR2 Rev3 Turbo then letme know as im selling the rest, decided it was best to have one car at this point in life, and i chose the Rover

Roboscot · Post by **Roboscot** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 3:29 pm

I always go through phases of fancying a change, usually after not driving the Rover for a while then as soon as I do drive it there's no way I want to sell it.

I'm always thinking of what I might get next though, I've recently been looking into the toyota/lexus soarer twin turbo - ridiculous amount of car for the money. Or maybe a 406 coupe V6 or alfa gtv V6. Oh, and a bedford rascal camper!

A coupe of some sort

Beaker · Post by **Beaker** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:18 pm

A Austin, Rover, Hillman or MG.

Depending on finances and other (family) movements R33 GTST or Celica GT4 ST205, both with a handful of mods (preferably non-chaved).

Constantly being pulled towards 220 GsiT/GTiT/Coupe Turbo or bubble turbo though...

Post by **agw_01** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:27 pm

Well, I've got loads of plans for the Rover so will have that for quite a while.

I've had it a year and when I open her up, she still brings a smile to my face.

Eventually (doubt I'll actually sell the Rover), I want something old skool, 4WD and jap... a nice Evo or something

Maserati Quattroporte, if I get lucky!

Owen, you know where to come if you want a 420 turbo

I missed Lotus off my list. Elise or Exige.

Can't see me parting company with the old girl , but i was thinking M5 E36 or T5 of some description possibly estate or coupe.

Firose · Post by **Firose** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:18 pm

For me it would have to be either an Evo 5 in white or a Evo 6, but then I've been on the Ford forums after 3dr Sierra cosworth in Moonstone blue

Not sure whether I would sell mine or keep it, but I've had mine for 7 years and kinda got attached to it

Firose

Plan to keep the 200 as a project after though

A future engine transplant has crossed my mind too, but one of them would be mental, the things can barely stay upright round a corner with a 1.0L engine!

I plan to buy a panel van version and convert it myself to a camper, and probably slightly pimp it by lowering it on nice little alloys. Want to do everything myself including the paint job, pretty much every aspect of the build will be a first time for me lol.

If its a binatone it'll probably have a sh*t stereo lol .

Either an RX7 Twin Turbo or a Supra had thought about a 200sx but after I put a turbo engine in the MR2 a standard one would be a step backward

shellis · Post by **shellis** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:18 pm

thought about a van for work, but the coupe's staying and having some more cash thrown at her before i go buy anything else!

calibrax · Post by **calibrax** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:36 pm

As there are very few decent 620 turbos around, I'm looking at a couple of options....

Option 1 is to replace my 420SLDi with an Alfa 156 JTD, or a similar turbodiesel. Basically, something a bit newer and more stylish, but with similar fuel economy. This is the option my head is telling me to do.

Option 2 is to keep the 420SLDi for commuting, and buy a more "upmarket" car with a big engine for "fun". Choices include the BMW 840Ci, Mercedes CLK320, and of course the MG ZT 260. My heart says to take this option.

At the moment, my head is winning, due to the costs! I'll take my time in deciding though...

All will be revealed in good time

Firose, I'd be pretty gutted if you sold yours... especially with the current market value. That's why I've got no plans at all to sell mine.

I'd rather spend a bucketload on it, enjoy it and keep it locked away when I do eventually get a new car, bringing it out every now and then to upset the latest breed of 'performance' cars
