RS tax, innit. Personally I think anyone who spends eight and a half grand on a slightly warmed over version of a mid-1990s Escort should be immediately sectioned.

What. even with new, genuine Ford mudflaps?

£23k for a 21 year old RS4

Imagine describing any 2.7T as "bulletproof". They're great engines, but their lack of reliability borders on the epic.

The car is so ''bullet proof'' that he's just had to spend £10k on it.

That engine is pretty awesome. Its the 47000 pipes, balance valves, sensors and tubes vomited all over the engine bay, made by some hippy commune in Devon, that let's its down.
I still think a Completely stripped down version of this, running minimal sensors via megasquirt and using a 2 in 1 out intercooler for high pressure balance would be awesome in pretty much any kit car or small classic Ford. Awesome power delivery with an almost flat torque curve and sounds great for a v6
It's only VAGs addiction to overcomplicating things that made this a pile of st

Looks like a Melling Wildcat

Many in Australia...
15 yr old Landcruiser with 250,000km - AUD 50k
5 yr old HSV Clubsport (Vauxhaul VXR over there I believe) 120k +
FD RX7 80-100k
Most 911s, unfortunately

Do these come with a free lifetime supply of chronic rot like everything else they were making around that time?

Sorry but the Makkinen is over rated. By people who've never driven one mainly. Sometimes unpopular is fine. I'd rather give an honest appraisal than a popular one. Drove one recently. It was flawed.
A guy was asking 30 grand for one last year for a car no quicker and more laggy than a 435d.
Sorry but for me it's over rated. Over priced. Just like a CSL E46 is at 70 grand.

The fact that you are comparing a 20 year old sports car to a 435d tells me all i need to know........

You drove one recently - which playstation game was that . You say the car was flawed.... yet neglect to mention why?

CSL E46 at £70,000 is possibly a big ask (i’ll agree with you to an extent on that). However, they sell at £50,000 (is that still overpriced?) for what is (SMG aside, but there’s a remedy for that) a very special car.

Eh? £9,800?
That has to be a mistake...
You could have a 12-reg and enough money left over to get new tyres, for that.

You could even get a nice JCW and not that S model.

I’m not convinced this isn’t a typo, but as I can’t see evidence to the contrary I’ll add it.

£11,000 modified 2006 Jazz, it does actually look a laugh, but not a £11k laugh.

somebody will pay that or very close to it.

given the value of the parts thats probably not too excessive

[joshleb]

580hp in a Honda Jazz, that would shock some OAPs!

I might have to take it back! My knowledge on parts isn’t great.

One thing I can say for sure, I would love a go in the jazz. It’s a proper sleeper, wouldn’t suspect a thing, I love the addition of the P plate.

[HM-2]

That's one for the sleeper thread. 580bhp K20... madness.
