evening all, my first post, i'm 25 and currently got a insignia elite as a company car, problem is i miss my previous cars, had a impreza p1, integra dc5, audi s3, clio 182, astra gsi turbo and so on, 24 in total.

i need a weekend toy, i'd only want to spend 3-4k tops really, couple of track days here and there, after something fun, so far i've been looking at pulsars but the gearbox problems worry me, i'm after something pretty rapid with good handling for the track, any ideas?

i like that edo never really thought of anything like that, rx7's are nice but don't they need rebuilds every so often? 300zx possible, drove a 400 bhp friends one which pulled very well, i wouldn't go for another classic scooby wasn't too keen

24 cars in 7 years... doesn't sound like you missed any of them that much tbh.

Guess he misses the insurance premiums though.

I recently bought a DC2 and love it. Would you consider going back to Honda?

i do miss them but get bored easily, insurance was a pain in the ass, was paying £2500 on the p1, i'd go back to honda without a doubt, the dc5 was a fun car, handled very well not as good as the dc2 though apparently. out of all the cars my favourite was the 182, such a fun car

by missing them i mean comparing to what i drive now, a boring rep mobile, not the most fun, i love cars and need some kind of buzz back from driving if that makes sense

Agreed! Seller clearly hasn't a clue! Could be a good project - and very cheap if not accident damaged etc.
