ok bout time i annouced...

VX220?

Mk3 MR2? Ticks the much slower box (only 140bhp) and also the handling to make you smile box. If it's an 03 or later it'll have the revised engine with a timing chain instead of belt too. Wh00p@55!

A Mini ?

"Clive George" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Elise or MX5?

Heh - ok, so my used car price guessing is off then? :-)

The only people I've seen offering 05 Elises for 6k are from Nigeria.

This is Vamp we're talking about ;)

A Mini, hopefully a Cooper not a One...

Agreed. I'm hoping for a Cooper, but he was definately talkin about a One.

That or a Fiesta/Corsa - which would be a sad day, an Vamp would be right to expect condolences.

Well you can (as someone I know did last month) pick up a One for 3k, still as they have the same engine you may as well get a one and chip it.

Spagthorpe Bologna V7 Diesel, in beige, with the wheels from a Mugwump Malarky Mk4.

That'd be Elder's car.. this is Vamp we're on about :-)

Mini (Cooper hopefully) or a Focus Zetec.

ding! a mini and no not a cooper a one, but it's the most fun i've had with a small car since the MR2 MK1 and you never have to brake cos it just darts round corners. so far added chrome mirror covers and whacked a xenon kit in and i get a nice 38mpg on average too!

going to keep it as it is for now added chrome tat probably then when bored chip it to a cooper as there meant to be lively enough!

i'm well happy! and i save over £150 a year in insurance too!

First or second generation, engine wise?

Have you also taken out a subscription to 'Men's Health'?

Actually I've driven a tuned one (in the pouring rain, admittedly) and was somewhat underwhelmed. I think they're possibly a giggle in the dry when they can get the power down but they aren't that great in the wet.
