We don't care - it's still the winner.

This has got to be a winner. Although I have just seen the thread in GG about it, it does come up in my search as it's local. Sounds like someone is going to buy it.

Not sure why I'm bothering this week as there's no chance of me beating that lovely Alfa or the sublime W126, but here goes nothing...

If it's not borked (and the aftermarket boost gauge completely fills me with confidence) then this is some car for the money.

Not a contravention nono

Sleep clearly used the wrong source. I simply didn't read the ad which, and Olly cannot do anything but support the contention, actually awards me additional man-points. Real men, buying cheap cars (in fact, any cars), don't read the ad and don't inspect before handing over the readies.

And anyway, I've got an extra day this weekend to get it roadworthy biggrin

Only 2 here, but both look ok:

Very tidy, good tax and MOT, but very boring.

Slightly more interesting, but RUST yikes

Found this within 3miles of me. surely too good to be true? It doesn't have one of those dodgy prices where £995 is actually £3995. Then again, maybe they'll say the actual price over the phone.
Having said that, you never know..

Can't believe how cheap this is too (assuming all is working ok).

okay so it's not a WRX/STi, but it should still be fun to drive no?

It's getting a bit chilly, so it must be time for a 4x4!

I bought mine for well under that thinking I'd got a bargain, turns out there are loads under a grand. And the automatic is totally unloved!

Wow - I've not seen one of these for a long time. It's only done 44k miles as well, looks immaculate and comes with a wad of service history and all the tax discs and MOT certificates!
