I really want a supercharged Vogue SE, 07 onwards but i dont have the cash.
Next august though... with some decent savings from now till then, some finance deal and hopefully the values will drop a little bit and its mine!

Lpg is a must though!

Rather like those myself also. Big running (servicing) costs I think though.

Magnificent! Saw one on Edinburgh bypass the other day - sounded very very nice.

I've been seriously thinking a lot about these now (now that it looks like my 924CGT deal has fallen through frown)




or this, if I had the lucre -

Yep, that's my only sticking point at the moment.
Get one! It's one of the very few cars I've owned that I miss. Wonderful car.

But you're right to be aware of the costs. Mine was a 2 owner FSH car, with sensible mileage, but I reckon it still cost me about £1.5k per year excluding insurance, petrol and tax.

To the OP - funny you started off with the new Twingo. I spent the weekend in France and came back rather keen to pick up an old Twingo as a daily runabout. Stupid idea, given that they're all LHD and rare as rocking horse poo over here, but still... Can only find one for sale in the whole country (a 1999 car for £4k - I'll be buggered if I'm paying that!!).

That is beautiful. I mentioned in another thread that I think BMW should make a modern version of this. Keep the silhouette, just modernise it in a certain way. I can imagine it now. Mmmmmmmm.

I'm always obsessing about the 'next' car. The OH has recently given permission to sell the big family barge, and the '5 to satisfy my desires for a more extreme driving car, so long as we also get a Mercedes convertible.

This past week I have mainly been obsessing about This

There's a nice looking one for sale here and not bad at £5,450. Go on, you know you want too.

I've just seen one of these and have been thinking about it all day...

Saw one of these in white on the M40 last weekend with a German plate, right hand drive, with twin exhaust and a ring sticker on the back. Did a nice dump valve psssstttt when changing down and pulling away at roundabout.

Im sure he has done some nice tweaks to the engine as they do not come with a Turbie !!!!!!

Was very nice and moved very quick

I would love a Focus RS, but sadly they are not available in North America.

I think its one from the scirocco forum i use, did the ring sticker have "neverbeen" written across it?
