Im SOLD on the TUURBOOO :D Im going to be totally honest. I scare myself in my current (embassingly crap) car that only has a 1.1 engine. I like driving fast, pushing the machine and myself, but also sensibly. I like to push it to its limits whilst keeping as safe as possible. I'm not sure what the ...

I'm interested in any apart from automatics.

Ok good advice. I will broaden my search. Saw a couple in Dorset which isn't too much of a strech. The paris blue one on ebay: it did look great, would have happily travel for that one. Phoned the guy this morning and he'd sold it through his local paper. Asked him how much for....he told me around ...

All the good ens seem to be in Yorkshire or Wales! :cryhard: Any tips on how to track one down - ebay, autotrader and this site ...
