So my daily driver and all round swiss army knife of a car "the pork" needs some love and will be coming off the road for a couple of weeks shortly to get new bits, paint etc.



At 16 years old it's hanging in there but if I don't do it now it won't get done until winter. Which means I can buy something completely stupid to use for a few weeks. Anything goes that's fun/interesting/massive/outrageous or a combination of all four of those.

Fuel is no issue and budgets £2K - help me out here because so far I've found a ratty Discovery with a lift, a colour changing Rover and a JAAAAAAAAAG none of which feel quite silly enough.

MG of some kind, probably get a ZT 190 for that money if you want some wafting or a ZS 180 if you want something a bit smaller both have the 2.5ltr V6 from a freelander so very reliable and make a good noise too.

£2k doesn't give much hope of something particularly swift or fun really. Might get a 3 series E46 330i? Would likely be pretty ratty though.

Swift doesn't matter I want stupid/amusing/funny. Like a length of seven series that's been painted lime green or a Disco on mahoosive wheels. At the moment the matt black Perodua above is tempting me!

We've had that before, the "real price" is three times more. Usual autotrader moron.

This, for sure. If you really dont care about image or whatever there is lots of fun to be had in the cheap sections of Autotrader/Gumtree.
