Fun Car. Talk to me!

I wish I'd never started looking at R32 Skylines now.. :roll:

A '94 GTR, 450bhp, mint condition inside and out, FSH, fresh import (1 owner in Japan since new), £8k.

Shame I haven't got 8 grand!

MX-5, CRX or MR2 would be the obvious choices, Celicas are good fun too and I think you could pick up a Civic-R although it maybe leggy. RX8's are cheap for a reason, the drink fuel and oil and are expensive to repair with most in that bracket probably needing a rebuild soonish. My Fabia vRS only set me back £3k, but it needed a clutch, radiator, 3 Tyres and a new rear caliper when I got it.

Completely leftfield but if it was me, I'd hunt down a good Mercedes 500 SEC or 560 SEC, absolutely amazing on twisty mountain roads - IF you get the one with the sportline suspension already fitted.

Other than that, MX5, S2000, MR2, Megane Coupe (2.0 16v), Clio Williams, all fun on the twisty stuff,

Fun!

Fun!

Another one which is well and truly on the list! I LOVE proper Minis. The worst thing they ever did was let BMW ruin them.

MX5/MR2 vote here.... I was aiming for one until I upped my budget and went for a Z4. Either way in this weather it has to be something you can get the roof down on!

MX5s are looking like a good bet.

But then I like the Alfa GTVs, and there are a couple of lovely GTV Cups for sale over on Pistonheads at the moment

You want to drive it not push it!

You want to drive it not push it!

Haha, yes I'm well aware of their reputation!

But it doesn't bother me too much. The car will be a fair weather driver and it'll only cover very limited mileage - one of the GTV Cups has only done 55k and it's got a full Alfa service history.

Mmmmmmmmmmm...
