If I still had my fun hat, I would have bought a Carver One.


Quite fancy trying one of those too. I think the result would either be love or sea-sickness. ;D

or this one but i don't think i'll get it for 25k


With this as a power plant
 
LS1 V8.

Irmscher made this as a special for the 40th

Oh both are 2008 Opel GT's Which were only available in Europe and the US as the orginal and they were all built in the US on what was called the KAPPA floor pan

GM stopped production when they started having trouble the other year which is a pity, oh and the are all LHD only

European cars had the all alloy 2.0 16v Tubro lump kicking out around 260ps and the US got the 2.4 16v lump without turbo, same lump as the Antara 4x4

If the budget was upped to around £35,000 I would have one of these.

And if I spent that much on it I can call it a car if I want to. :P :)


No idea which new car I would spend the money on. They all look the same to me and mostly wwd.

I have chosen not to get another new car, currently a Citroen C4 Grande Picasso (Lease) I could not decide what to get so bought an 03 Omega. Which reminds me the Citroen must go back, a month overdue now, authorised.... :)

Had I not been in the process of ordering another Toyota I would have given the most feature laden Insignia tourer, available for the money suggested, a go. :y

If the budget was raised to £32000 I'd buy a new 520d M Sport with professional sat nav, or a 525d SE with professional sat nav. Good thing with the new 5 series is standard it comes with leather, front & rear PDC and Bluetooth, only problem is the nav is expensive.
