Next car, £4000 budget - What would you go for?
So its just over a year with the Alfa and although the old girl is in pretty good order I just feel the Alfa scene is alittle too .... Grown up lol
So Im planning to move on maybe latter this year. I wont go into too many detail on what Im looking at as to be honest I aint made my mind up 
I got £3000 hard cold cash and I reckon £1000 in the Alfa (maybe)
But out of complete interest where would you place your money? What would you go for?

Funny, already looked into them but although they are better looking than say a Skyline or GTO but inside they look like a 70's kit car honest check one out.
Mk3 with pop up headlights FTW if your looking at Supras

Hmmmm 172 not sure I want to go that small again. I like coupes although they do kinda come with a stigma of mid-life crisis say like Celica's, Preludes, Cougar's (been there done that) 406's and other coupes.

Ive always liked the look of Clio sports personally..but insurance is alot more than a vtr so i went for that for a couple of years at least to get some no claims built up.
Or Civic type r's are nice too
