    3) Prices around the same as a 3 bed semi-detached house in a nice area

    And it's all for a reason, over the years i've know 6/7 18 year olds buy powerful cars (Escort RS Turbo, Astra GTE etc.) and I can only think of one that didn't write it off in the first 6 months.

    Also, if it ain't RWD then I would imagine with 400bhp the 0-60 to be around 25secs, or in other terms 19 secs of wheelspin and then 6 secs to 60

    lol, hmm
    its like when i rang and tried to get an insurance quote on a pink nissan micra, i got laughed at

    That on top of the way the engine is facing.
    hmm, could well be, thats beyond my area of expertese
    a 4x4 hatchback...hmmm i wonder how well that would handle..

    I quite like the wheels. Compomotive MO's if I'm not mistaken, very expensive as I remember it to.

    Wheels are best thing about it imo (apart from the engine)

    Yeah they are compomotive mos mike (or replicas of them) so there going to be lightweight wheels too.

    White rims are not chavvy.. These are chavvy..








    I want these Rotas so bad!..


    My brother has a set of these on his skyline.. Retail price £2200 without tyres! Just 1 too many stud to fit mine otherwise I would of had his car up on axle stands and had away with them lol

    Re: 18 year olds dream car

    I can't remember the name of the company now but there is a place that really goes to town on your metro. Similar spec to the reyland for about £4 - £5K and tbh I was really tempted when I got my Ignis.

    It's a lot of money but I'd love to drive it

    EDIT: remembered

    Re: 18 year olds dream car

    nah, no deathwish
    if i did have one, i'd walk into the neerest bike showroom, and exclaim, "i'd like to be dead in the next hour, and i have a lot of money"

    they'd all light up (the salesmen) and come over and start showing me hyabusa's(sp?) and stuff

    no, no, no. Rotas are cheap knock offs

    Get these instead,



    they come in a variety of colours..here is a set on the HKS S15



    Or you can try Kosei;


    These weigh in at 5kg a corner in 15x7.

    They had an even lighter version but it's not on their main website anymore...probably discontinued.

    P.S. Kidding with the Rota comment.
