A few of us on a (social distance) run from Kent to Scotland for a driving laugh.

Only basis is 90s nostalgia.

I'm not sure whether to spend 500 on a stter and scrap it of 5k and sell it on (I buy and sell the odd car as a sideline to my garage).

I've seen a twin turbo GTO for 3k that needs a clutch and some bodywork so far.

Or a Lexus 400.

Or an MX5.

What would you do.

I either want ste but classic or fast as I can.

There is a B5 S4 in the fleet going.

The GTO was a car I loved in the 90s in red with its 4wd 4ws. But it died for me when it turned out mick philpott had one.

Completely off topic, but there must be a long list of cars owned by some fairly horrible people. Why let it put you off? Would you not buy the same make of dishwasher/lawn mower/beard trimmer that he had?
