    Requirements: Gotta look baller, cost less than £3K.

    I've had enough of feeling like a peasant each time my neighbour parks his mint RS4 next to me and comes to say hi for a chat while I'm piling shit in my battered car... I need something with a bit of cred... Also some fit girls have just moved in upstairs so I need to up my game :wack:

    Currently it's pretty much this...

    Doesnt need to be drifty or loud, I was thinking about a GS300 or altezza beams... even a nice E30.
    The cheaper the better, Something that doesnt rape the wallet in fuel (I got the RX7 for that), can be cruised around, not stress about it getting smashed up and generally be a bit 'london proof'

    A cheap 350z would be spot on and would be tempted to add money to buy an early e46 M3.

    (below pic removed as I'm unsure about it) I did think of this E39 M5...however I think it kinda crosses the minicab looking motor at initial glance.

    Fails:
    An audi thats older / lower spec than his (cant afford one anyway haha)

    you can pick up GS430's for about 2.5k these days. Dump the remaining 500 into a service and you've got a very nice car.

    I think Facelifted MG ZS's look alot more expensive than they actually are especially the 180 with the body it, my mates just bought one, it sounds amazing, goes pretty well and is one of the best FWD handling cars I've driven, can pick up a 2004 model for £1500 easily now.

    Probably easier to just have his RS4 towed.

    Spending 3k to impress some birds is just retarded no matter how fit they are!

    Is200 will rape you on fuel, they worse than the ls400 I'd definately get a gs300, lower it on Some decent rims. They rediculously pimp, comfy, fast-ish and makes you look like You have more money than you actually have. Fuel wise will be 25-32 town an cruisin

    Other option is 728i BMW

    Dude that is not exactly pimp... money spent on it would make it pimp. Not doing it for me.

    HAHA!!! Looks like a harry enfield suit.

    Dude the guy already had one robbed and just wasnt phased and replaced it.
    It's not just to impress some bird, its the general feeling that all my neighbours have alright looking cars and I always have AE86s or some twattish gypo mobile which is cool in our world but the rest of society just thinks you're a cunt... and I dont need anything more making me look like a count :wack:

    hmmmm.... how much is 'way under'? It may be tempting - dependant on price - however it does look old (clean but dated) and also it will cost £400 to park it outside my house (good ol' london parking permit pricing!). Also the landrover spec suspension would need sorting.

    You can have it for £1500.

    Suspension is a 'custom' job or £800+ coilovers
    Tax is on the old system so £118whatever per 6 months
    It's not great on fuel - mid 20's round town yet high 30's on a run (non quatro)

    Let me know if your interested - You should be... It's got DOUBLE GLAZING!!!! hahahaha
