Hi blue nose,
One that doesn't need £££s spending on it.
The answer I always give to "should I buy an £8k car, or a £5k car?" is that you'll need to spend £3k to make them equal. Also go for one that is known to be a good one. Where are you based?

That should buy you a good one, I'm sure you will get lots of response now people know you have £15k to spend.

Just had e mail from friend saying 90s cars now classics, and should look for 00 to 04.Is this ther way to go.

Redracer77 · 21 Dec 2003, 23:51 (Ref:817767)

you should go for a Model T Ford

swift · 22 Dec 2003, 00:01 (Ref:817774)

ooh I say that was a bit cutting redracer!!!!!

what I was going to say was that perhaps you should buy an RF85 for about £5000 and then use your remaining £10000 on tyres................!

diz · 22 Dec 2003, 00:03 (Ref:817775)

Redracer57 and swift.
Are you reading between the lines here?

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:05 (Ref:817778)

lol again. Us NWFF boys are very friendly tonight!!!!

I suggest with all the money burning a hole in your pocket I would suggest a VD 01 from john Loebell.

If you do save some of your budget for tyres then a Swift 95 or a VD 90/91 would be a good enough bet

swift · 22 Dec 2003, 00:05 (Ref:817779)

who me????????

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:06 (Ref:817780)

Diz I am not good at reading, that is why I went in to drawing for a living?!!!

Explain?

diz · 22 Dec 2003, 00:07 (Ref:817781)

I'm off to bed now. My head hurts

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:08 (Ref:817784)

come back!!!

diz · 22 Dec 2003, 00:09 (Ref:817786)

RR57 about to PM you

swift · 22 Dec 2003, 00:10 (Ref:817787)

Good idea diz, take warm mug of cocoa and 2 Mr Kiplings (any version will do) repeat every 4 hours but don't exceed (get it?!!) more than 8 in 24 hours!!!!!

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:11 (Ref:817789)

Swifty did you go for a curry in Manc the other night?

swift · 22 Dec 2003, 00:15 (Ref:817791)

Nope, heard about it through the grapevine (or should that be curry line?) but no precise details of when or where. Anyhow, have been laid up ill for last few days which explains my recent absence from the forum. But I'm fighting fit now and back with a vengence, so watch out!

Any how, I thought we were a little more "up market" than a curry night? Any one for petit fores?

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:21 (Ref:817797)

lol, Dave Hart was taking the **** the other night that I was ABNS (available but not selected) the other night for the curry as I had not been told. He said that all the drivers from Manc went like you, Boldy and mike waite etc

Would have been nice for a p.ss up as the champs dinner is ages away

swift · 22 Dec 2003, 00:25 (Ref:817801)

what a good idea! perhaps us nwff1600 ten tenthers should get together for our own night out?

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:29 (Ref:817807)

I am keen for a good old curry. Finish work tomz night so any drinking over Christmas is high on the list after that before the weight needs to be lost to fit in the RF90 in FebMar!!!

blue nose · 22 Dec 2003, 00:32 (Ref:817809)

You are all very criptic.
I have raced 01 and 02 but in a diffferent format.
A 95 sounds abit long in the tooth.
I shall join you guys next year.Is JOhn from Medina?

blue nose · 22 Dec 2003, 00:35 (Ref:817812)

I dont like snake charmer food.

Redracer77 · 22 Dec 2003, 00:35 (Ref:817813)

A swift 95 is the best kent car you can get. I think it is even better than the conversions assuming you r a good driver...

Ask Stu gough how good a swift is?

John is from Medina - where have you raced before - what is your name?

blue nose · 22 Dec 2003, 00:41 (Ref:817819)

A 95 looks like a lawn mower.
A gravel scooper
