Hi Guys,
It's been a fair while since I had anything decent as I've had other priorities, however things have settled and improved greatly which now allows me to get back in to an "enthusiasts" car. My last performance car was a Monaro VXR and briefly a VXR8, probably 7 or 8 years ago now so I'm greatly out the loop.
Obviously it's my decision at the end of the day but I'm so out of the loop and I know all of these cars will have been driven by at least somebody from OcUK motors at some point. First of all I'd like to know which one's I should just drop straight away, I expect I'll be the Volvo, Ford and Kia. Then I'd like to hear your thoughts on the cars I've chosen and any other models I should consider.
You can sort of see the type of cars I'm looking for, well built performance cars with a reasonable size. I don't need the practicality as such as the girlfriend's car can cater for that but I do like larger cars to a degree. However, as you can see, I am not ruling anything out if I decide to go more for a more out-right 'toy' as I don't really need to daily anything as I work from home now.
If you hadn't guessed, then my budget is around £40,000 and no older than 10 years really (can be stretched a little). Running costs aren't a huge concern but if anything has anything like a £10k clutch or cambelt change then let me know!
I'll update this OP a bit later tomorrow with my initial thoughts on the cars I chose and why I chose them.
