My Audi S3 & Ferrari f430 Replica

[beninuk]

it doesnt really sound that bad, but this is why i am going to do a engine conversion on it and scrap the old mr2 one.

I was going to get a Evo 10 but couldnt get touched on insurance so i figured i might as well have something to work on

Why not sell then both and buy something that actually goes well and looks good? And as for paying £1,400 to insure a fake Ferrari...? That's just nuts.

Still, I suppose you're doing your bit to support the economy...

The audi is running around 315 bhp but still needs another remap and needs a new throttle body ect + both cars are pretty good on fuel and if i was to buy something bigger and faster insurance would go up and so does the amount of petrol.

I always knew there'd be a downside to F430 replica ownership!

[beninuk]

if u spent 16k on the car that draws people to it and it was parked on a public road im sure you would watch all night
It has alarm and tracker so proabably couldnt go any where - but hey it was saturday night any ways!

It can go to a flatbed then underground but people would normally go to these lengths if it was worth stealing

[Twincharged]

What do you say when people say to you "Nice Ferarri!"?

Sorry, did you say £16K?

Wow, I could understand if it was around £5,000 - I cant imagine anyone is fooled TBH. I would venture that Coke and Hookers might be a better investment than spending that kind of wedge on 1990's bodykited MR2.

I'm the same age as you and my insurance on a 355 is £1300 - so I fear your cash could have been much more wisely spent.

Still, fair play to you for having that kind of money to spend on a car at your age.

A3 1.8t Sport.

Two fake cars?

[anonymous-user]

the s3 looks hideous, the front looks like a cut and shut. The wheels don't fit the arches and from the front looks like one of those fake TT's.

The Ferrari looks very nice thou, not my taste would prefer a true sports cars, I presume 20k could of have slk amg, tvr etc..

But from what you say what people think is important to you.
