Hey all,

My name is Lee

New to the forums, im here from the USA based at lakenheath air base, its great to see so many of you folks with awesome cars!!!!.

I have just sold my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, which i brough to the UK with me, anyone have any great ideas for a car with around 200bhp for 6k, UK Pounds.

I recently was driving towards Hull on way to East Riding when I cant believe what happened, we hit two Peacock in the road, my pal James was gutted, he was driving!!!!!, totaly wiped out the front fendor and grill, anyway, hi to you all, looking forward to some great chat and ideas on my next vehicle.

Hi Lee,

Are you one of the Harley riders from Lakenheath too?

We see a lot of the Lakenheath boys over here at Norwich Harley smile

If you're ever passing, pop in for a coffee and say hello (admittedly i'm next door in BMW)

Welcome to PH!

Cheers,

Tim.

Plenty of choice at that budget. Not that I'm biased, but I'd say a DC5 Integra Type R smile

Get a MX-5, for 6k you'll be able to get a very tidy one and stick a Supercharger onto it to get the 200hp that you require.

Peacocks are tasty. I hit a pheasant the other day - I swear the little buggers throw themselves out on purpose! What requirements for your car? 2 seats or more and does it have to be at all practical?

Nice 944 turbo would be my suggestion; http://pistonheads.com/sales/3938327.htm

Or a VX220, I quite fancy one myself at the moment; http://pistonheads.com/sales/3842796.htm

If you need space, M5; http://pistonheads.com/sales/3914626.htm
