Jim Bell Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Who among us does not enjoy role play? Whether it be dressing up as a dog for submissive sex at that car park in the woods, or reading Autotrader on the bog and marveling at what you could afford if your wife died and the insurance paid out. We all do it. So roll your thirteen sided dice and immerse yourself in THIS fictional world: You are a 37 year old handsome northerner with level 7 bartering and level 8 crossbow skills. You have £1500 coins (or golds) to spend on powerful car that will make you feel better than all the other Elfs (or Orcs, or Robots). 130bhp bare minimum. The more ponies for the pound, the better. MPG must balance near the 30 turnip mark. My Our fictional hero's current wish list includes a Primera Gt Charriot and a CLK Kompressor Trooperwaggon. What else say you band of merry brigands!? Telleth your tales of powerful shite! mouseflakes and Banger Kenny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibusmo Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 An XJR would also fit the bill, assuming you don't mind the gearbox making decisions for you - in budget and way over the HP requirement.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-Jaguar-XJR-Supercharged-326BHP-76000-miles-12-Months-MOT-/271546628105?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f3970b809 Vince70, brickwall, urpert and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mercs 230s manage well over 30 local, the jags sub-20. I know its a trade-off, but that kind of fuel cost rules one out really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one as my daily for 7 years,absolutely loved it. The only trouble I had with mine was the coil in the distributor failed one morning going to work.Cannabilsed a civic distrib I had at work,less than an hours tinkering had it running sweetly again. They sound fantastic when the Vtec kicks in. I still have mine tucked up in the shed Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I want that Prelude. I used to drive a lot of them for the local Honda dealer and I loved them. The 2.2 goes well and has 4ws and that futuristic dash is the dogs bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laser wheels Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What about an Accord Type R? I'm sure you could bag one in budget and they are highly regarded by all accounts. In fact this guy has set his reserve at £1500, and this appears to be a good one! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-HONDA-ACCORD-TYPE-R-RED-103k-miles-/271543508182?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f39411cd6 retrogeezer, brickwall and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgetgricey Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Another vote for a 9-5 Aero. Great cars and fantastic when the turbo kicks in. 9000 Aeros are also great, but easier to find a 9-5. Loads to choose from on UKSaabs, but this one looks nice. http://www.uksaabs.co.uk/UKS/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=141311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
