Your Next Car ?

[sheldon2369]

I'm quiet liking the new hatchback turbo's. Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Renault Megane, VW Golf R. Might be one of those bad boys.

since parking and driving in the city is getting impossible, i might get a car that doesnt need to comply with any rules

Bahahahahahahahaha!

My brother lives in SA and he said that it's very difficult to find OEM parts due to people keeping them. So I asked what people do when they upgrade and his reply was that they keep the OEM parts at home and spend a night or two re-fitting everything before they enjoy an afternoon with a Regency officer and his nightstick. LOL!

Thought you were going with an SV6 stationwagon?

yep most people keep the original exhaust and springs hanging in the shed..

Well I'm selling my v36 and moving to the US. Currently drooling over the possibility of a 911 Carerra 4S. ~60k for a 2009 model!

LOL.

reminds me of Johnny Drama in Entourage when Vince is looking to buy the Rolls Royce.

'you don't buy a car like that bro, you LEASE it - that's why every broke deadbeat in this town has a 911'.

[Nightcrawler]

Yep we don't dare sell our oem parts, as sooner or later the revenue raisers will send you to Regency, and unless you are basically dead stock, you have no chance of passing.

[NORBY]

LOL.

i loved the earlier episodes of Entourage. Such a good show

[SMOKEYV35]

it's hard to beat.

Drama goes on from there to say 'i once owned an italian car, beautiful piece of machinery' - to which turtle points out 'drama, you drove a fckn FIAT - and they reposessed it when you couldn't make the repaymentst'.

Back O/T - I'm still kind of in a 'next car' phase - I like the idea of a V but I could change my mind tomorrow.

My problem is i want ALL teh cars....and i keep buying them and selling them 6 months later. I tell my girl that i break even but i must surely be losing. And every car i've had has been a bit outside the box - I could never drive something 'common' likea S15 or an Evo. I'm just looking for the right balance of quick without being too thirsty and unreliable, good looking without being too impractical/onboxious/cop bait - ability to be daily driven and live on the street every now and then without getting stolen - and all at the right price.

Some cars on my bucket list to own though include:

- BMW e46 M3 SMG - has to be estoril blue

- A 32/33/34 GT-R- just to have done it

- late 60's 280se Merc - stock looking but on digital air suspension.

- BMW X5 4.8is - Black on Black with a straight obnoxious exhuast and no plates 'PANZER'

- Another Lexus LS - such solid cars

- R31 GTS coupe - back to my roots

This will all have to wait until i buy a house though - trade off with gf is no more cars until we buy a house - but when we do i'm allowed to buy a project car.

BEST SHOW EVER! I watched all 8 seasons in just a few days, i watched so much of it i felt like i was living their life. Best T.V series out i reckon.

[iamhe77]

Just get a PM35 and be done with it Andrew! You know you want to!

Has heaps more boot space than the Crossover/FX as well.

[Kolossus]

Well I am out of the V and into my 370Z, one of my other options that I was looking at was VW R36 Passat, AWD 3.6L V6, and they look quite tidy on a set of well offset wheels and a little lower too. But being a Nissan guy I did what i just had to do and got the 370

[Nightcrawler]

^^^ what are your thoughts on the 370Z compared with the V35?

[81gSKy]

My desire is have a Cobra kit car or newly built 1971 240z or at least a lightweight, most likely open top track car.

BUT sensibly a next car would be a sedan of some sort, but definitely has to be not FWD...

I'm going after a mercedes CSC - probably will be called a CLA.

Good choices > but it's best to get the M3 Manual (due to faults with SMG)

[SMOKEYV35]

i thought the e36 SMG was the one to steer clear of - and the e46's are ok?

there is a minty e36 M# with SMG in Estoril Blue on car sales - has been there for a good 6 months - reckons he's spent 13k on getting the trans overhauled - but I still couldn't trust it........but believe me, i was considering it over the V.

That thing looks mean from the front, i would be scared if i saw that in my review mirror. Speaking of mirrors... they look stupidly small.

My Urologist had his E46 M3 SMG for 4 weeks before he put it up on the market.

Roadfly or BMW Drivers' Club has info on SMG issues...

yeah but urologists are 'always pissing and moaning'......badda-ching!!! lol

[Seano350GT]

Now that i think about it. I'd love a M5 BMW with a bit of a drop sitting on luxury ADV wheels. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
