    i am 17, but the car isnt going on the road. the car is going to be plainly for drifting (airfields etc.) so the age doesnt matter (for insurance etc) but the budget i have is what matters.

    The car isnt going to be insured, it will be for drifting only (airfields, racetracks etc).

    Your clearly not as if you were really making an effort you'd have searched before posting making you look like an idiot.

    You sound like the typical school kid that joins this forum.....

    If its not being insured, how are you planning on getting it to a track.

    Heres a song for you...

    Yeah, as i said, im trying to learn which is the reason i made this forum. if your wanting to be a dick then just leave? and it looks like you should go back to school and try using your head, use a trailer to transport the car. wo nice. nice song techniques too.

    Really?! Made this forum? You clearly are not good with English.

    Your going to use a trailer to transport the car, thats the obvious answer. Have you bought an appropriate tow car and a trailer? How are you going to insure that?

    Never mind the search on here. There's this thing called google.

    Take the banter and follow up with a better answer. Don't bite

    Forum etiquette dictates you search before you post, its the same on all internet forums. People ask the same questions all the time and when this forum gets a "I'm new to drifting" post at least once a week you can understand the frustrations of the long term users.

    For 2k there is alot out there. Plenty of cheap BMW's, old Nissans etc. Go look around the cheap cars and then go to drift days. A search would have shown you that.

    The reason for the harshness is simply because 99.9999999% of 17 year olds who join this forum don't have a clue about the cost involved. Never mind buying a car, there is maintenace, transport, tyres, additional wheels, tools etc.

    How do these people actually get on in life? Jesus man, youve been here 5 minutes and you are already calling everyone a dick, maybe you should consider your attitude rather than giving it the large to everyone else ..........

    Being new here is the biggest reaosn to search the forums, not an excuse not to. Out of interest, who is going to drive the car that gets the car to the airfields?

    And actually, what is it with everyone buying cars by committee these days? Can no-one actually make their own decisions, or even go the totally logical route of watching drift vids and seeing what people are using?

    Bugatti's go for around £1800 these days, spend the rest on plastic tyres and your imaginary trailer & tow car?

    Those responses definitely required 4 seperate posts. How about condensing it all down and typing in plain English?

    For 2k, you could get a 13. Have you actually looked in the for sale section?!

    S13, 1.7 turbo 340, numerous BMWs. All sorts of stuff. Use your initiative and your anus may survive to clench another day.
