Let's help NutNut find a play thing

[Robatr0n]

Integra DC5 would be a good call!

(To me it would be logical move up from a FWD hot hatch such as the Civic Type R)

[NutNut]

Thanks so much you guys. I'm having a really bad day today, just logged on and saw this thread. Has helped to cheer me up

Already done the Integra Type R, had that before my previous old shape CTR. Actually I loved the Integra and I do like the new shape ones. So a good suggestion.

NutNut - what's your criteria for the car - performance, uses, load space, passengers, £'s, etc..?

[AngryS3Owner]

I think we need to see the company car list to be able to help here chaps

[NutNut]

I've been looking at the following:-
Imported Subaru STI Spec C's.
Evo 9's.
Conv 350z's.
VX220 VXR version.
Conv BMW M3's.

I like the thought of 4WD or RWD. I don't really need a big car i.e. the Subaru or the Evo, but always liked them. Want something pretty quick, reliable, servicing not too much (although I know the EVO will be a nightmare when it comes to that). Budget between £16-20k. Will only be me driving it and it won't be an everyday car.

This will be a 2nd car (play thing), for driving holidays, car meets etc. I actually have the old shape Civic Type R (I know I'm a sucker for Type R's), which I want to part exchange for the Play Thing. Or if anyone knows of someone who wants an old shape Type R (Pikey's arnt getting their hands on this one) then let me know.

[AngryS3Owner]

VX220 Turbo off that list, shouldn't be practical if a play thing!

[NutNut]

Perhaps I might even get an astra like yours as my new company car. It is one of the cars I can choose from

I see you have the new shape Integra. I used to own the old shape about 6 years ago, really loved it. How do you find yours?

I'm loving the DC5 thanks! Have got used to the diff now, and like it much more than my old EP3. Let me know if you want to have a lookie round it, you're more than welcome.

Food for thought...

EVO 9 - 400bhp - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/374795.htm (silly quick point to point)
M3 - loads of choice (comfort/practical/fast)
Renualt Clio V6 - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/370496.htm (go kart/don't see many)
Renualt Megane R26 - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/358070.htm (great drive)
Porsche 964RS Recreation - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/230054.htm (special)

How about...

Integrale
Something a little different
Off the beaten track
RWD and fun
Frightening

Sorry to hear about your car.. I've been there myself and it's a horrible experience. Hope you're able to get something good out of it though.

I did.. Mini gone and now in an MX-5 and enjoying it hugely

I'd love to have a look round it, as I really still miss my old ITR. Do you ever come to any car meets etc?

I have been known to pop along to one or two in my time

I'll be going to the Sunday Service this w-end, and always go to as many others as I can get to. If you can't make this Sunday, I'll PM you when I next go to one.

Had every intention of bringing the CTR to the sunday service this w/e, but now its totalled I can't face coming. So I won't be there. Look forward to seeing your car another time. Thanks.
