Big, Quick Cars ?

Given Nom's thirst, nay, obsession, with VFM (and hatred of older cars), can I be the first to say Bwaaaahahahahaha!!!! ?

That'd be T5 /or/ R - the T5-R is the limited edition version which still holds too much money!

Well if you are going to be silly so will I. ;)

Ahh, so 4wd is a must. Hum.

Bah. It's only 20 inches longer, and 10 inches wider. Parts are a touch expensive, but you shouldn't need many...

Right then, how about a volvo v70 t5 AWD then? Has the dissadvantage that friends will treat you as a free van-hire service.

Mitsu GTO 3000 Twin Turbo??

Mitsu FTO Tiptronic??

Maserati (was a bi turbo thing on ebay a while back at 4K) (not very up on Maserati's sorry)

Lexus sourer (import I know) but fast n bargy)

Jag XK8?? (seen a few down too 10 K (prob not too well tho)

depends how large and your taste really.. (but the Mitsu 3000 GTO TT is a great car and supraesque (well Toyota used it as a guide to the supra's styling and power))

A 911 of that era (coded 964) is slower and will cost about twice as much. Cars with similar performance (toyota Supra, NSX, etc) cost about a similar amount.

I've done the math: unless you find a corvette or a Nissan 300Zx in doubtfull shape, the 928 is the affordable car on the market. For the money there is no other car available in the 170 MPH-zone.

Depends on your definition of "reasonable money" but Jaguar XJR's seem good value for money. 4.0L supercharged, very fast in a straight line but still have surprisingly good handling for a car that weight and size.

Homer.

The 9-5 Aero HOT looks good at 250bhp.

You get 2/3 out of a 600Ti, so why are you worried? ;-)

Then you'd be missing out on one of the great drivers cars.

Couldn't you buy a really nice 968 for that kind of money?

Jag or S-class would be good (although an E-class with a big lump would be even better) - but the Bently would be financial suicide.

Wimp. ;) Think of the fun with an LPG tank in the boot next to an N20 tank.

Though not at the same time or you'll melt pistons. LPG and forced induction not good.

Wasn't Pete M flogging a twin turbo kit for a Rover V8? Now that'd be fun in an RR. Limit it to 0.3 bar for LPG economy runs, whack up the boost and switch over to Optimax when you feel the need for speed

Absolutely. Older XJRs are stupid cheap now.

I've read that you _really_ need to think about spending the best part of £15k to get a reasonable Bently.

Anything cheaper is q quick route to bankruptcy.

they arent that big tho.

I'm intrigued, can't find any mention of it tho under that spelling (or Stazia or Stahsia, etc). Sure it's not something you dreamt ? :)

No I know someone with one, may be a grey import. I can only remember it as it sounds like you just sneezed. Ah found it Stagea.
