Fifth Gear?
Top Gear?



Alfa's have delicious interiors imo, but I am afraid of the reliability :S

EDIT: Oh and I hate their new design direction.. the 159 looks awesome but the new ones that are taking design from the 8C Competizione look horrible (the Competizione itself is awsm though).

Minis are actually great handling cars, used to learn to drive in a 1.4turbo diesel, handled brilliantly.

The one good thing is that if I ever decided to sell in the future, they sell for a profit over there. On my last one I made a 10,000 dollar profit on a 1 year old car with 15,000 miles on the clock lol.
what about your Aston Martin??

1993 Volkswagen Golf MKIII GL

2.0 liter 8 valve SOHC
good for about 120hp, 135 lb feet of torque.

It does 0-60 in about 9 seconds, and tops out around 100mph, which is chip limited.

Nothing special...got an old '96 Chevy Suburban a couple years ago for $1,500.00  It's now got 218,000 miles and going strong.  And when the weather warms up (still kinda chilly in Montana), mountain biking into work.

'93 Lancer. I bought it with the alloys and low profile tyres, custom tint and it has been lowered, which is a bit annoying tbh.

Only cost $3,900 3 years ago. The guy was trying to sell it to me on the mods, I was just interested in the mechanics and low kms it had. Same mechanic services it, says it's a good car, even now at 223,000km.

That looks like some kind of coupé mutation of a Mazda 121...

And damn those rims must be uncomfortable....


EDIT: Oh it's a Colt coupe... why the fuck do they call that a Lancer??????

Nah, it's a Lancer. That one ^^ there is the 4 door, mine's the coupe.
We have Colts here too, they're definitely a different car.
The rims are a bit uncomfortable but I'm pretty used to them now. The shock absorbers are heavy duty ones to compensate for the lowering of the car.

Why someone would both spening that kind of money on something as cheap as my car (mainly due to it being now 17 years old) escapes me.
