Hello all,

First post here, looking at buying a new car. Bit of history;

My last car was a 1999 Black Range Rover P38 4.6 V8 HSE and that was an absoloute beauty. I did it up loads and it looked great with tinted windows.

Anyway, looking at getting a car that is a bit of a headturner. I will have 3 years NCB later this month and will be 20 years old.

I want a car that is a headturner, like the Range Rover was. Anyone got any suggestions?

I dont really care about speed or acceleration much, got a 1000cc 135bhp sports bike that takes care of that.

Just want a car that looks awesome, I can do it up (tastefully), sounds really great too!

Cars I have been considering; Caterham 7s, Supra, Subaru, BMW 325/330, American Muscle Cars.

Cheers,

Budget? I'm guessing it's quite high as your Range Rover with tinted windows suggest you're a drug dealer?

Judging by his previous car, he's a successful drug dealer and it's not a problem tongue out

Edit: That's a pretty lame edit to make...

Is a P38 a headturner ?

I think, if I notice yet another Black RR Shaped object and see a P38

Ahh a Taxi, then, ah a P38 and its still going, cool.



Budget must be massive to fuel a P38 4.6 and keep it fettled

Women, presumably.

Pics to clarify what your definition of headturning is - Seems not to co-incide with mine.

A BMW 325/330i while very nice, is not a 'headturner'

Then I can be of no assistance. I don't think anything I have ever owned has turned female heads. Not that I bought them for that of course.

Budget, dont really wanna push over 10k.

P38 did about 11mpg around town as it was a big engine and petrol. It had a £2,000 top of the range LPG system fitted to it though which let me produce around 35-40mpg (roughly), also had spring suspension £800, Vogue tyres/wheels and dual side exhausts (magnaflow) which meant it absoloutely GROWLED and you could hear it coming. Such a great car. But it is sold now and I want something else.

I know you cant really buy much of a car under 4k, so yeah, budget would be 5-10k.

LOVE this, but it's out of budget and it's already flawless and done up and its in america. But I am thinking maybe this sort of style.

I love that term "Headturner", have always wanted to place an advert that says,


"Owl for sale, real Headturner"

I'm assuming he wants to turn the heads of other 20 yr olds in McDonalds car parks TBH.

I love the addition of a Caterham in the list as well. rofl

bmw 325/330 at 20 is a headturner.

I dont know, I just want a cool car that is different and not like every other car around. Just want something unique that I can work on and say that is mine, without it being some cheap looking ricer wagon.

Headturner for girls/guys/kids/adults/grandparents. I dont care, I just want a care that stands out and looks sexy smile

Perhaps he needs some 22s and spinners on some 'banging rims'
