tom13 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Primera with an SR would be a great bet and not bad money either. Prelude or a Vtec MB civic would do well as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpi_matrix Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Went and did a buy, sorry no collection thread as it was pretty near by and I got it recovered anyway. Needs an oil leak sorting and MOT, but my god does it shift. Skizzer, loserone and Sir Snipes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The best possible car for B-road hooning is an X1/9. More sparkly than an MX5 or MGF. The only hot hatches I've ever driven are a mk1 Golf GTi and my Mk2 Jetta GTi. The X1/9 has waaaaaay more smiles per mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Not a bad choice as a Hoonmobile at all. Never driven a turbocharged one, but it should suit the car shell I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard of the Edsel until I read about it in a newspaper glued to the table in a trendy cafe in Austin Texas. MrsREB thought I was a nutter for reading the table at great length!

But I still get the most enjoyment out of it. I find it absolutely at best bombing down a B road, at legal speeds (probably well under...) and having an absolute ball. I pinched my Dad's B roadster when in Blighty a few months back. Nipped down to see a friend in Tunbridge Wells and was probably the nicest drive I have had in quite some time. The sun was out and there was something totally endearing about its simiplicity. SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Has anyone mentioned 205s yet? A 1.4 on sale on here for £500 at mo, they are one of the most fun cars I have ever driven and can be chucked around in an obscene way. The 1.4 is far from underpowered due to the tiny starting weight. The gti would be out of price range I think, but for a cheap fun car they are perfect. My next favourite would be a Mk1 MX5 but decent ones are getting thin on the ground at sensible money. reb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic late-Project Drive torque steer goodness. Does it even have an air filter? Still registered as a 1.4 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
