    So.... 12,500+ in my sky rocket........

    Following on from this thread..
    http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=48932

    With around 12-13k, what do I buy?
    Elise
    VX220
    Westfield
    Something else? but what?

    It must be:
    Fast
    Fast
    Not an everyday car
    2dr
    Light
    Fun
    Did I mention fast?

    I'm looking at the moment around the 13k mark, but it could be up to 15k if I can convince the insurance co to move up a little.

    Cheers,

    Lee.

    £12.5k probaly won't get you the best Elise in the world I think you'd be better off with a Westfield

    Ariel atom would be kinda cool but they are quite abit more expensive.

    If you want an Elise, get the VX220, its more car for less money just cos its a Vauxhall...
    Westfield, you know u want one...
    A Bike?
    I'd say stick with 4 wheels tho tbh, see if u can push the insurance company and get the payout and the car back, that way u can strip it and build it back up yourself, that way u get to know what goes where and what does what and you get the satisfaction of driving round in YOUR car...
