The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T (Vol XVI)

[Crook]

Only had a quick look on my phone at the pictures so may have missed bits but that at 12ish with those miles? That's a car for at least a hundred more years if not longer. What are the alternatives in the modern world of disposable white/metallic autumn hues from the current big three?

<hint> not much.

What happened to the Winchester?

If you ran a website that relied on people going to it to earn you money, and you also ran a Facebook group that earned you nothing, which would you want to leave running?

What does that mean?

I remember having one of those for a weekend - V12 makes a nice noise but you get E46 M3 performance and a massive thirst Big plus is you can fit child seats in the rear buckets - great sense of occasion

G closed it down, he was not happy with the general behaviour. I miss it a bit.

Shall I start another alternative one?

Toyota Aristo
500+BHP
4 Door Supra

£7,995

I'm not really a fan of the Mk4 Supra (no idea why, shape + styling does nothing for me) but I really, really like that.

Forgot the link - http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t...

The link is down (probably because it isn't a supra )

Has it been converted to manual?

Because if it hasn't, its probably a bit too much - Aristos are generally not worth an awful lot more than and given the fact that a JZ will make 500BHP+ with fairly light tickling of mods there is unlikely to be a huge list of supporting mods to bring it up to that sort of asking price - Its not that far off MKIV Auto money running similar amounts of power.

Its nothing against the cars, but despite having crazy loads of potential they will never be the 200SX/Supra/Impreza/Evo that people always wanted when they were younger and are now willing to chuck money at so in essence they are often valued at '2JZGTE + whatever mods + £1000 GS300 Shell', which is a shame.

I'm beginning to have nasty thoughts about buying an Aristo and doing the 6 Speed E46 M3 Getrag conversion that is starting to become popular. Add a sensibly sized single turbo conversion and for £10k and you can build something that will have M5s and AMG Mercs seriously concerned.

I enjoyed the banter in the Winchester. Would be nice to have an alternative.

[NomduJour]

Re price? Think they wanted £35k for it. Hooper rarity v. appealing though.

I have set a new group up, lets see if the same old crowd ask to come back..

Thought my facebook feed had been quiet. Shame.
