£3k Challenge.
« on: 06 May 2007, 19:45:32 »

A bit of fun.

You have £3k to spend on a car. Just something you would quite like.
It does not have to be practical, just something you always fancied, but have never had.

Only rule is, it can't be an Omega! ;)

For me, a 300zx (may take some time to find a good one at that price!)
Just always loved the shape and a twin turbo V6 will certainly be fun!

I'll raise you a BMW Isetta!  ;) ;D

This is a tough one.  I've had an ur-Quattro which is still top of my list.  I'm being a bit serious about the Isetta and similar, not sure what the prices are though.  If it isn't something really old and quirky then probably just a motorbike.  Never had one, too impractical.

The Mondeo is a fine car, but Finn is the only one that has actually mentioned interesting cars that aren't based on practicality.  C'mon!
