Oh dear i can strike a few off that list  Where's my coat and cup of tea 

#

Too much tea drinking on this forum......and not enough shagging.

That's why i'm not around much recently 
The missus accused me of neglecting here 
As you can tell, i'm off and she is at work 


Anyway, about cheap sporty cars

If you can handle front wheel drive, you could do a hell of a lot worse then a VW Corrado if you can find one that hasn't been hammered / chaved up too much 

With the 2.9 V6 up front a great little car. 

Far better than the dumpy looking Golf with the same engine.

Didn't they do a Superdupercharged one too G60 or summat...

Yes. But it was not well received by the public.

But what do the public know

Yup, 160 bhp out of the box.

Stick a 68mm pulley and a chip and 190 - 200 bhp is there for the taking 
Tickle it a little more and replace the gearbox with a VAG one off iirc a diesel golf and you have a seriously quick little car which with the longer ratios of the box is not bad on fuel either   

A unmolested one will set you back 4 grand and the values are going up 

Tbh, the reason i'm not converting my mv6 to a manual is because I quite fancy one as a weekend / summer play thing

MGC anyone?

[05omegav6]

Isn't that like a rusty Mgb, only newer?

The 'C' has a 3 litre straight six.

I thought we were talking sportscars?

that reminds me of a dog taking a dump

MGC anyone?

I seem to recall the MGC being described as a sports car with a tractor engine crammed into it 

Yonks ago I had an Austin Westminster, it had the same engine as the MGC but the Westminster was a huge car. First car I ever did a ton in  . oops I mean could have done a ton in.

A major part of my interest in one . . . I think a reason for cheapness is spares, and ulginess  But I still fancy one 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

How about a genuine AC Cobra 427 from the sixties?

It could be pricey, boys.

Left field choice, Mr Rog.........Mazda RX8. They are fantastic drivers cars and affordable to boot.

Friend of mine picked up a good condition example with reasonable miles for £2k not so long ago - it's his track toy but so far has been refined, reliable and .. ok, far from economical

They're a good buy if you can find one without apex seal issues.
