I'd go with an E30 of some sort i think, quite a lot of options to choose from
- E30 M3 (this would be night and day in terms of handling and chassis compared with a 325 sport, a 5k car might require a bit of work though and it would almost certainly be the earlier less powerful engine)

I know what you mean about the feeling of 'going back' - but as you say its just a temporary thing for a year or so. The you can buy something shinier and newer (and more expensive) again ;)
Good luck with the job!
Clio Williams, 306 GTI-6, 106 GTI/Saxo VTS, 205 GTI, Golf GTI (mk2) - those should all pretty much fit the bill.
Or you could consider an E30 325i Sport or 318is if you fancy something RWD.
Quite surprised at the figures being so low - especially the cars with re-maps etc. But as long as everyone is happy with how they feel and how they drive thats the main thing.
Heres why i'm a bit surprised at the figs - i am 99.9% sure that around the time of the Trophy launch i read that...
I reckon that the graphics will be optional (fortunately) like the Megane F1. I'm interested in the 'Watch this space for more technical details!' line - could be some interesting technical developments or could be a let down, hopefully we'll find out soon...
I quite ike the look of it in those pics although i think the back end might take a bit of getting used to, will be interesting to see what the production car ends up looking like.
What about the new Evo X - anyone like/dislike that? I think looks wise its an improvement on the current models...
Might be worth an email if they dont arrive by the time the new issue is out.
Chiefbadger - Just had a thumb through the 100th issue - the sticker offer wasnt subscriber specific, we should get them just by filling out our details subscriber or not.
Tsk Tsk EVo ;)
I think its because it not the street system, its the race system - as fitted to the cup racers i believe. In saying that i am sure it wouldnt be too hard to affix some shiny tailpipes - but i think the real problem would be the sound from the thing - noisy as hell i'd imagine! :?
I know Lee is off to the states but if anyone knows who his mate was that wanted the Liquid yellow 182 then maybe they could give him a heads up if he is still searching for one as there are two currently available on Autotrader, both with Cup packs that may be suitable....
So whats the toughts on the new gearknob Mat? It looks real good, just wondering how it felt - if you found the change more positive or the throw a little shorter?
It looks to sit a lot lower/shorter than the OEM - does it feel almost out of reach at all? Hard to describe what i mean but i...
Saw this on Ebay, its not my cup of tea but thought i'd post it as it might be of interest to the track affecionados, that and the fact Orbisoud exhausts are so rare...

Keen to see this as Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo Arriaga have produced some fine work in the past.
Link doesnt seem to work though....
I dont have a recent Glass's guide at hand but i am able to give you a rough idea from one thats a few months old if thats any use. I reckon trade bid would be around 4600-4800 max and their retail price would be 5600-5800 max. So somewhere in the middle of that might be a fair price for a...
The £16k VX220's you mention - are these ones that are a couple of years old?
Surely cant be the delivery mileage ones for that price? The cheapest i've seen is 18,995 for a pre reg with delivery miles. 16k would be an incredible price for a new VX220 Turbo!
Really sorry to hear about the car Gareth, looks like a bad one. Glad to hear you werent badly injured - thats the most important thing - that and the fact you've found yourself a nice little replacement.
Just out of interest, were they able to identify the fool that caused the accident by...
Nice one Steve - 35% off is a pretty hefty saving! Where did you get that code from?
Anyone else got any codes? (any for electronics etc?)
www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk - use code URBAN1 to get £10 off if you spend
£50 (Got sent that a week or so ago - not sure if it will have expired)
Hmm, not so good.
Depends what your local dealer is like - might be worth a visit. You might get the standard negative response or you might be lucky enough to get someone who might look at resolving the issue.
