Not compared to the Ovlov it's not !

You need EVERYTHING to make the Ovlov interesting :)

Surely they're almost exactly the same size as the Ovlov !

Complicated, and probably expensive to run/maintain/insure

See 200SX

Errrrr, where the f*ck am i gonna get that money from. I want a cheap car i can throw around and not worry about breaking it. If i pay that much for a car i'll want to look after it!

Yea, girls drive 405's all the time :)

I can't change my car at the moment anyway - and if i could, i wouldn't ever have a 360 unless i became such a pikey chav that i had to put the difference of £200 or so above my enjoyment of driving.

;)

In news: snipped-for-privacy@uni-berlin.de, Carl Gibbs decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

For Gaaaaaaaaaaaawd sakes. Thats why am i getting - for the joy of RWD driving. You'll never understand!!

Heh, don't worry Carl, I'll swap your 205 TD for my Carlton, you can have a wee jolly coming all the way here to take delivery.

Hence according to everyone here, with it being sub zero, the Saab 96 is only one step away from a DB9, except it sounds better.

One small step, one giant leap etc ;)

Not at all - they're certainly no worse than any other perfomance car.

If you want something non-shit (ie, somewhere around the 200bhp mark), it's always gonna cost more cash ! You get what you pay for :)

Again, they're just standard fare for a performance car.

I thought you'd finished Uni, and were working now ? Stump up £500, and the remaining £1500 will only take you a year to pay-off/save-up at £125 a month.

Nah, keeping the 205 and the missus is having that for commuting. I'll swap the Carlton for her Micra though.... :)

What's traction control, the Saab is the first car I've ever owned that even had a rev limiter.

I dont want around the 200bhp mark. theres plenty of cars around with far less power for far less money with a far less insurance group, which are far more fun (than *some* 200bhp cars)

Which is why i dont want one of those!

I have. But i still have debts looming over my head and i refuse to take an y more loans out till i've paid off what i got. Plenty of cheap fun cars (blindingly quick is not necessarily what i want) to be had for a DIY mechanic. Also i wouldnt want to rally a 200SX or anything like that. Plus i'm moving into a 4 bed house with double garage and swimming pool in a couple of weeks, which costs money ;)

Swimming pool? Sounds like an ideal time to test out that electrolytic de-rusting method on a whole car :)

Well PAH to you then !

:)

Hurrah !

Stripped and lightened?

All possibilities, although i've never been keen on the Marina (plus not exactly built for abuse!). Sunbeam however is a decent enough car, but finding a decent enough example could be difficult. Not the best engine in the world either, although there are plenty of ways around that!
