It'd be interesting to know which of those two groups would bring in the greatest returns for your investment. I strongly suspect the latter - especially if you're hoping to sell a few of the cars as you go along. Personally, I'd forget all the exotics, especially as you're not based darn sarf, and go for nostalgia rather than dreams.

He's in footballer country mate, with the rich and famous of Manchester/Liverpool just a short helicopter ride away.

In Phase one, don't forget the Helipad and chopper parking, they will need that to get to pick up your exotics.

Yes. I could live with that as day to day transport.

Good point. Though I'd expect them to buy their own, there must be a market among the hangers-on and wannabees. Mind you, an occupation servicing their whims wouldn't be my choice.

know it makes sense

This doesn't, but it'd be more fun!

Expensive, and doesn't really do anything better than a quick saloon or hot hatch. Estate agents and polo-playing 20-somethings drive them.

Don't see the point in spending 200 quid just to drive a car for the day.

That's wat Pete asked for (literally: 'what you lot might be interested in') - so that's exactly what he got from us lot. :-)

Without the right lottery ticket, depressingly much for me...

I don't know which I want more.

Actually, I think I do. Comrade.

Very nice, although I'd prefer a LHD one.

I've corrected your slight typo.

It's such a disgusting car. Begs for a T5 engine and black tinted windows, and silly lowering.

In news:Xns95F2DB3C96894adrianachapmanfreeis@130.133.1.4, Adrian decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

probably easier to do than to put some silly little undersized 5 pot with a blower in...

V8 every time

Exactly. Mr Blaney knoweth.

That's the intended market, but with some really nice stuff to make it more fun for us to do, 328s for example.

To be honest, it's all been interesting and helpful.. with the exception of "I always wanted a Carlton"

Not to mention that said silly little undersized 5 pot would be the wrong way round anyway...

Don't forget the Rancho...
