Another car (4x4)
« on: 05 December 2010, 20:56:17 »
Been fancying something to let lose on the twisty's with for quite a while now,   Just  miss the days of driving through the seat of my pants (Driving like I stole it)  Few routes round here were I can see for miles and give it the beans when no one or anything is arround.

Only criteria I set myself was local, cheap and 4wd.

Looked on autotrader and ebay and basiciacly it's a choice between a 2.4 litre ford thing, a 3.3 subaru something or other or and  imprtza.

Dont want the old mans for thing as is too slow, the 3,3 Subaru is auto but looks interesting.  So looked into the pretzles on offer then came accross the write up on this one.


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-SUBARU-IMPREZA-SILVER-/270673812148?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f056a9ab4

Then realsied they will have all been hammered within an inch of thier lives so only possibly worth buying one I can test fly (and yes it will get maxed everywhere)

So am back to the drawing board, think I have turned into to a 14 yearold wanna be Colin McRae

i scoffed at my friends k reg 104 xsi. I think it was only a 1.4. Then I actually drove it and I've never had so much fun. Revving the pants off it it's fairly nippy, I was laughing my head off! It seemed faster because it was so small and rough around the edges.

Daihatsu Copen is a fun little car, although not 4WD and not for a tall person! Sister in Law used to have one and it was great fun for a little 800cc :y :y

a bit of a 'girls car' though, especially with the roof back. Having said that I know a bloke with one & he's a definite man's man & bloody big too!

how much money available ?

Had earmarked some cash looking for a nice 3.2 Estate late model low miles Elite etc.

So was gonna use some of that.

Originally no more than a grand, then when the cheap scubby showed up it got me thinking so upped ot to £1500 but quickly realised I might end up buying a money pit.


Pf all the FWD cars I have driven only 2 have left me with the thought of ever having annother and that was a 1000cc mini, it was just so much fun, and the other was a 1.9GTi 205 that was just rapid even though all FWD cars torque steer I would put up with either just for the fun elemnrt as it wont be a repalcemnrt for the Elite.

Just thought, the most impressive car was a FWD Honda Prelude with 4WS, that was wicked and a joy to drive.

Am tempted cem, but then am getting older and I would realy prefer a 400 trans am T Top.

Imprestza nice, but possible licence killer, and if I get a bad one then will cost a fortune.  Plus havent bothered going out since the snow fell, and if I did it would cost me £50 a day in fuel alone while snow was on the ground.  :-X
