Hey all,
After a few problems with my current motor (Mk IV Astra), I've decided I'm going to start looking for a new set of wheels. Having never really driven anything other than Fords, Vauxhalls and the like before, I quite fancy driving something a little more adventurous... though I'm a bit worried something "out of the ordinary" will cost me a lot more to run, whether it's on insurance, fuel, or parts/servicing. At the moment, I have my beady eyes on a 1978 MG MGB GT, a 1984 Porsche 944, and less specifically, any BMW from early-to-mid-nineties - mainly because I've heard that BMW's will run well beyond the 100 grand mark, mileage-wise. Any thoughts? I don't mind hunting around for spares myself on ebay and the like, as long as my garage will do the work for a decent price, which shouldn't be a problem, unless the work they have to do is very difficult (thinking of the MG).
Any recommendations of other makes/models? I have about 2K to spend, but could go a little higher if the car was right...
TIA, DSt.
