I´d love to get my hands on a 65 chevrolet El Camino...They are an acquired taste I suppose because they don´t seem to fetch that much on the market ... but it´s finding one that is difficult.Last week I saw one for the first time in ages but I couldn´t catch it for long enough to make an offer...that´s why I want one...they´re daft too!

My next car will be the Volvo S60 T5. For those who have alredy turned their noses up, go to the Volvo site, and check the specs. Of course, if they import the S60 with the R engine, tehn I'd go for that instead. And I would remove the badges from the rear, and replace it with the S40 badge. Then when some poor schmuck in a falcon or Holden pulls alongside and sneers at me when the lights change, hahahahaha

Hey Diabando, have you checked out that Holden Van for Surfers? You know, the shaggers van!! It is just fantastic. If I was young, I would rob banks just to get one of those. It even has a TV and Video.

I am planning on getting a Mini shortly, and putting some Minardi and Sauber related designs on it - perhaps a M1NARD1 or K1M1 number plate... tee hee...

I have had mine (24v Auto) for over 3 years and have done 70,000 miles (now on 137k). The 2 litre is pretty good too if the fuel costs are a factor. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hans.ca I to would love an Alfa. Do they still come with a factory installed oil leak in the engine?????? I haven't had to top up the oil between services (every 12,000)recently, there are no drips on my drive either. Back on topic, my next car would be a Mazda RX-7 Series 3, however practicalities mean our new FIAT Multipla is now nearing delivery (better for those race days at Combe as well). |

No drips on the drive? You're out of oil

My Ford Falcon station wagon is almost 12 months old, so it will be 3-4 years before I replace it, but at this stage I'm very much inclined to go for more of the same, there is no other car on the market which is suitable for me.
My Dad has an AU XR6 VCT and he absolutely loves it. It is Galaxy blue, a beautiful dark blue metallic colour. |

I'm looking at something around the (Aus) 30K mark. At the moment I'm looking to be heading down to my nearest Peugeot or Renault dealer for a squiz at the 206GTi or Clio Sport. I'm thinking about a reasonably new model as well. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I'm looking for bang for my buck. Practicality isn't that important.

Well if you don't care about practicality then go for the 206 or Clio. If you do want practicality then you'll want to buy a...um...er...
I've been thinking about this as well, as I want to replace my car in about 10-12 months time with a similar price range. Without a Pulsar SSS at the moment, though it is possible early next year (I'm going to email Nissan tonight), the Laser SR2 being a waste of space in my opinion, the Astina SP20 slightly better despite being virtually identical to the Ford. It helps that it has a cross brace in the engine bay. The Astra SRi, denied by Holden for some reason, is a possibility but not until October at the earliest. The Alfa 147 is high on my list, but I don't know costing yet, but it will be out by the end of the year here. Which leaves the 206, which has too small a footwell for me, and the Clio which is personally too small for the money as I do need at least a little bit of practicality. That covers anything decent. You could always get a 4 cylinder Camry |
