Boom st he's not I was just curious - never heard it before

My comment wasn't really aimed at you

If I was in the same boat, I be buying something like this:

I think I agree, but then I'm not into the Japanese car scene but I know they are very popular.

Oh I'm the sort who doesn't give half a s*** what anyone else thinks, I'll use my slang as I please, and you'll use yours!

I appreciate the support that I am young and trying to learn more about cars though! being around and driving motors just feels right

Not using text speak is noted, and refreshing, but referring to a car as "boom" as as bad as telling someone to "holla" you, fire an email to you or asking for a swap on something for sale.

It's a major pet hate of mine.

ETA: I'm also young too.

Funnily enough I did! That car is boom and exactly the st I'm after


This thread is for a year or two's time, when I've done a year in industry in unay and saved a st ton of money for it. I'm about to buy a Peugeot 307 for my 2nd car when I'm back home from unay for now so it plenty of time to pick between the two

Can you stop calling cars "boom" Makes you sound a little like a tt to be honest.

If you're on a budget, the DC2/DC5 Type R's are the cars to go for. Otherwise I'd say get an SR engined car. S15/S14. Or if you want retro cool, go for an S13.

The engine not being over 2.5 is a little daft, and seriously limiting what you can get, and if it's only a weekend car, it shouldn't matter what MPG you're getting, you hardly drive it on the commute do you. By your own admission you've got a daily hack for that.

Personally, i'd be looking at something like a 6 series BMW, or even an 8 Series, IMO both good looking, but larger engines. 4.4 V8 in the 8 series but looks like a proper sports car, and has pop up headlights.

Who cares if it's a "pet hate" of yours, keep it to yourself! This is just like when some people decide to take a knife/gun to a group of others because they are offended by what they said. Everyone adds to language, that's the beauty of it. I use slang, get over it

There was me thinking this was the internet, a place to express your opinions and talk with like minded individuals. So committing multiple murder is akin to saying to someone that they don't like the way someone refers to something, and find it annoying? Sounds almost exactly alike to me aswell.


If you actually read the whole thing, rather than try to start an argument you would see that I actually offered some suggestions, and agreed that a Silvia/Integra would be a good option, and recommended some others too.

Yes, yes it is.

Just like.

So buy a 996 911 and just shrug when people make comments or suggest that they actually spent more money on their boring 1.2L hatchback and amuse yourself with the look on their face when it sinks in.

I'm 26 and thats what I did, just ignore people when they make daft comments.

[Rangeroverover]

I bought a 996 tip 2 years ago for £8.5k with 89,000 miles on it. I sold it a few months ago for £10,250 and really regret selling it, only spenr money on tyres, brakes etc other than renewing a switch on the gearshift £120.

Get a 996 you wn't regret it

Yeah that was one of the original ideas, but I really don't like the idea of a "german car" much prefer to be the proud owner of a jap motor. And I really don't like the shape?

I know the car itself is wicked, but I find the rear end is so ugly (without a spoiler) - much prefer the look of the similar porsche in bad boys 1

[jay44]

What about a cayman? looks much nicer to my eyes, what do you think?

Cayman, great car, significantly better than the Jap stuff you've mentioned but you're going all over the place now, it's not got 4 seats.

ah wasn't aware, was just having a quick peak about

[teamHOLDENracing]

I wish the OP would read the first post before coming up with these daft suggestions that don't fit the brief

[whyohwhy]

Lotus Excel a Classic that will turn heads has 4 seats will be reasonably economical and looks better than a Nissan

Boxster/Caymen - mid-engine, directly behind you, no rear seats, not even a small bench.

well that will certainly set you apart.

Buy a car because it turns YOUR head, not other peoples'
