Dan405 waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce...

either the 3.0 Capri, the faithful Golf I've still got, or the Cosworth.

Now lets write down the purchase price of each and see what we get :)

EEEK!

Including what the Golf cost me, I've spent over £50000 !

then again, I've not lost everything on every car I've bought. I'd say I've possibly made about £20000 in total.

But a shit load of that has gone in repairs, tyres, exhausts....

I presume you've got all those written down somewhere, else you must have a bloody good memory!

Yup, although there's loads I've forgotten. A fair few Alfas, a couple of Lancias and a BMW. I just can't remember the reg's of them :-|

Just out of interest how did the 205 and 309 GTIs measure up against all of these? I'm in the market at the moment for something cheap and fun, and GTis are supposedly good fun.

Cheers

I reckon you could have lots of fun in virtually all those cars. Well, i know i could!

205 1.6 GTi is a fantastic car, 205 1.9 GTi is a lot more twitchy version of the same. 309 GTI is just as fast, but a lot more predictable. Golf GTi, unless properly sorted suspension wise (like the onle I just happen to be selling), is pants!

If you get a 205 1.9 try and get a 1.6 box on it. Makes it a lot more interesting!! Watch out for the rear beams on the Pug GTis though - they dont tend to age well, and the suspension collapses (mind you, you'll probably find it grips better as the rear wheels get more and more negative camber)

I drove a friend's 205 1.6 and it's was horrid, tinny, noisy, rattled little a bag of bolts. ;-)

Must be the 8 VW's I've had the last 12 years that spoilt me then? ;-)
