    18 year olds dream car

    more specifically my dream car, for the moment anyway

    http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/660859.htm right there

    but unless my savings septupple overnight, no chance

    i'd need double that again for the sodding insurance!

    but my god, there is a god, and he/she/it has answered my dreams...and made me suffer cos i cant aford it

    all i can do is sit here and drool....

    If I was going for a car that size I would find one of these



    I would think it would be more than £8,000 though!

    odd, considering i thought they were hideous, and the only thing i'd change lol

    some of those with like 20 spokes, and the outside of the rim and different colour from the inside would be my choise..

    Of all the rally cars and especially the group B's, the metro is my favourite The sound is so awesome in person.

    I've only ever seen one actually on the road and it was certainly shifting lol

    Re: 18 year olds dream car

    Civic's are a pretty safe bet in terms of reliability and they are a hoot to drive. If ever you wanted to be a touring car driver, it is the car for you

    As long as you are willing to rev the nuts off it then a quick test drive would have you hooked on a type R I'm sure

    i mean settle for, if i couldnt get this, or a few other cars i would place above it on my "want" list...

    civics are nice
    they'd make about 5 on my list
    under 306's, MGZR's etc

    if money was no object
    my drive would have a ford GT
    a aston martin DB9
    and that 306
    and it would have to be extended a lil bit to fit em all on
