What weekend car.

[webby]

I hate doing these type of threads but I'm genuinely stuck for ideas. It will be a weekend car with a anual trip to the ring. so fun is paramount and something that's not going to depreciate and fast standard no modified cars.
Budget 10kish
And that's about it. I've thought of a tvr but now I'm stuck.

Any suggestions

I'm trying to take advantage of winter and people letting toys go cheaper.

[Cam]

Skyline gtr or Supra Rz.

[Jazz]

E46 M3 convertible.

[knight-22]

Impreza P1. :y:

[ed-bradley]

996 Carrera 911.

[greyjasper51]

E46 M3 convertible.

Poof...
E36 m3 to start and coupe...

[webby]

Not going to depreciate jazz. Plus I already have an e36m3 evo coupe

I thought of both the skyline and supra as they have seen to have plateud in price. But something about them just doesn't stir me. Same for most Japanese cars.

Everyone has a Porsche.
Doesn't have to be modern either.

[Jazz]

Poof...
E36 m3 to start and coupe...

E36 coupe is about as fashionable as a pair of worn woolen socks.

Its a weekend car, it should be a drop top for poser appeal and the E46 is by far the better alrounder.

Something old and jap, can pick up good bargains these days.

I picked up my old GTO for under 4k. Ran early 12 second quarters in it's sleep.

[Viper]

How about an S2 Elise?

[Ashleyp]

E46 M3 convertible.

I always thought your love for JC was a little homo, but now you're suggesting drop-tops... lol

:homme:

[webby]

Good suggestion Tom. If I could find one I'd love a s1 190 sport.

[johnr32]

Budget 10kish
And that's about it. I've thought of a tvr but now I'm stuck.




Dont bother with anything else, for 10k I would definately go for a chimaera.

[jdr]

I know its jap but evo 6 tme's are appreciating in value and are real fun for the weekend.

[Viper]

Dont bother with anything else, for 10k I would definately go for a chimaera.

How much money will you put aside for fixing it every week?

[DeanAngell1234]

Saxo VTS hur hur

[Jazz]

I always thought your love for JC was a little homo, but now you're suggesting drop-tops... lol

:homme:


Just trying to add some style to the mix, darling ;)

[motocrossjord]

Do bike test and spend 5K on a bike.

You wont regret it :y:

[Old_School_Saxo]

All depends.....
Weather or not your the type of person who likes some makes cars better than others..
weather or not you want fwd rwd or 4wd.....
weather or not you want a two seater or 5 seater or a strip out race car....
weather or not you want old school or new school....
and lastly how much you looking to spend on repairs every month.....

Personal i would go for a stripped out escort cosworth because im a ford nut and im more into old cars than i am new and i only like to drive fwd and 4wd cars lol.

[Carl-h]

As a weekend car/toy I'd be looking more into kit cars to be honest. Buy the right one at this time of year and you'll never loose any money on it. The value doesn't seem to ever really drop on them.

[saxokid100]

Mk2 vts....

[W103_A5H]

A few ideas I would pick:

Clio V6:

5.0 V8 Capri:

Vauxhall Monaro:

Audi S3 Quattro:
http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/audi/s3/audi-a3-s3-quattro-2003-immaculate-example/817772

And the best choice out of these all, Escort RS Turbo:

[rey]

None of those are really 'weekend cars'...

Get one of these:

http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/caterham/all-models/caterham-k-series/850708

Or this:

http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lotus/elise-s1/elise-s1-bell-and-covill-super-140/705668

[Tommo87]

Possibly

http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ford/focus-rs/ford-focus-rs-2002-ffsh-px-welcome/863073

[rey]

^^ I very much want!

[webby]

Rey has the right idea.
Already have my bike licence. Haven't ridden on the road in nearly 3 years due to the complete amount of nobs on it. I just don't find it fun anymore. I borrow a friends 600rr to go on trackdays with.

The focus is much like my megane f1 which is what I'm selling to raise the bit of extra capital.
Currently the garage sits like this.
E36 m3
Big horn
Alfa 156 diesel wagon
205 diesel
106 diesel
406 v6 coupe
Escort van
Toyota land cruiser
Megane rs f1 team.

And everything minus the 2 4x4 and m3 and alfa are going.

So I'm after a full on hooligan car. Doesn't have to all that comfy or good on fuel as I have another weapon to do that job. Hence me thinking tvr.

This man speaks sense. Pretty much what I was going to suggest.

[0rang3peel]

I haven't looked at previous suggestions, but surely it has to be a caterham or lotus

or thinking outside the box, what about a vaux vx220t?

genuinely no, but if I was getting a weekend car or a car for fun it has to be something totally impractical so a caterham is the obvious educated choice, A lotus is a good shout but I'd get the caterham.

Good from you!

Impracticality is the best part of a weekend car. It's something that needs to be kept for fun.

[Jay_]

Yeah, Caterham or Lotus. If it was me, Caterham, just because I've always wanted one.

[EwynSaxo]

Caterham seven everyday of the week !
Good suggestions in here but dont get a tvr cant stand them
If only you could get an extra 25k you could get the most ultimate car ever the Arial atom!

[Tommo87]

I would love one of these my cousin used to have one year's ago, old man rear ended it and killed it, might have to show him this to make him jealous aha

[stupotvtr]

I would go for a caterham but how about this?

http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/z3m-coupe/bmw-z3-m-coupe-1998/862884

[Gandi699]

A caterham, westfield, MX5 based exocet, or duratec power Phoenix kit car. Its really got to be that kind of thing if its a toy for the weekend

Nononono, Z3M coupes look amazing!

[0rang3peel]

Nononono, Z3M coupes look amazing!

not for me mate, bloody vile!

lets agree, you agree with me

[Giraffe]

not for me mate, bloody vile!

lets agree, you agree with me

It's the very fact that they look so ugly that I like the look of them...

[stupotvtr]

They turn heads and aren't too common also fast so I'd say it sounds like a weekend car. Well a tame weekend car

I actually like them but thought they looked crap when they first came out

[Tommo87]

Now I'm just getting daft but its worth a look
