Im looking for a winter car.
Will still be using the Impreza in the winter for dougnuts etc etc haha but want something i can use and abuse.
There is a Saxo Vtr for sale - 52 plate mk2 with 65k on it.
It used to belong to my mate. Its blue with a black fibrglass bonnet and some gay duplex exhausts.
Its mot'd and tax'd for £400
Im thinking about getting it this weekend for some banter.
Or has anyone got any other ideas for cars for me.
I was thinking
Fiesta
Mk2/3 golf
Sierra
Escort
Not wanting to spend alot as i have to do work on my other Impreza over the winter lol and my missus will gurn.

I'd buy it just to split it, fiberglass bonnet would go for near 200 quid on its own?
Or am i talking shit.

If it was me i would take the saxo for £400! If it has tax and MOT for long enough then its a good deal! Then you could always split it after the winter! Should be able to get your money back on it! You could probally even sell it on for more than £400

I'm not interested in splitting it.
I want it to give a beatdown every day :-) Just for the winter months then if it survived i would just flog it or track it.
The plan was to use the other Impreza for winter but i need to stick a gearbox and clutch in it lol

Check my youtube - I beat my Imprezas to bits in the snow "quiksilverconnor"
You cleary don't know the Highlands of Scotland that well either - Its not normal snow lol.
I'm after a car i can paint with a brush and destroy and have no love for it. I'm not retarded so won't be doing it to my Impreza

Thats a wicked idea :-)
I got a PM on a local site this morning saying about a polo 1.3 h reg thats already matt black lol on cutted springs.
Not wise for the snow but I'm wanting it for the fun factor, a few of us are getting winter cars so should be epic.

Lol on cut springs, f**k I thought people didn't do that anymore lol :panic:
I think a po-low in the snow would be great fun. You could even find some small tractor tyres and go piss about
