  1. so today I'm driving to work and smell burning oil, open up the bonnet of the 5 and my turbo feed pipe is spewing the stuff everywhere :( yes it's old and french but it's been reliable so far! thank god i can fix it at work

  2. so updates...over the past few days I have been borrowing a Range Rover SVR from work and oh my god is it one hell of a vehicle... after enquiring about getting one through the company I can afford it, but fuel will be hell and it is right at the top end of what I can afford monthly........

  3. I know plenty about rotary maintenance. it's just the things such as fuel and insurance that I'll struggle with, the skyline was very tight for me to run and I was hoping to cut down on costs (or my fiancee wants me to cut down on costs....)

     

    Every day that I think about it I am drawn more to the BRZ/GT86....

     

    When I get something you guys will know trust me!

  4. Another new car update, today I viewed one of my dream cars...infact it is my dream car, (just a heads up I'm a pretty big rotary fanatic) a '93 RX7...and i can afford it....but can I afford to daily it....probably not :( the quest for a skyline replacement continues

  5. so after more thought and going to see a BRZ yesterday...they are starting to appeal to me more....the interior does have a cheap feel to it though....might annoy me a bit every day, it's way nicer than my 5...but defiantly a downgrade from the R33, but that was to be expected....I still dont know...but watch this space!

  6. I am also considering an S2000 however I fear they may not be practical enough for me. I'm a mechanic for Jaguar/Land Rover so i often find myself lugging my tools to and from work. that along with me living in the middle of nowhere and the girlfriend insisting on only going to tesco once a fortnight!!!!

     

    Other cars i am considering:

    MK3 Supra (love the pop ups!)

    another R33....I miss my old one too much!

    VW Golf R/ MKIV R32 with some work (the practical option)

     

    possibly....a Jag XKR because I can get one from work on a work finance deal for a year for next to nothing....but I wont be able to modify it at all which is annoying and to be honest I work on them a fair bit and they're not exactly incredible to drive and I cant see myself wanting to daily one...

     

     

    For those wondering what I am driving right now....my Turbo'd Renault 5 Project car...

  7. What's peoples opinions on a BRZ to replace the R33 I had....I'm missing having a fun car! my only issues are going from around 450bhp to 200 and the downsize as the Skyline was surprisingly practical as a daily!

  8. thanks for the congrats on the new job guys, I'm a (well in training) LVL 3 technician for Jaguar LandRover (Mostly LandRover at the moment)

     

    And in my opinion the cars that can go are the 2 astons and the 370 optional parts, stuff like the veyrons have unique paint and wheels that cant be replicated, the q7 has a few small details like the taillights (though that one I guess can go) the 2 ferraris have different interiors and the 612 Sessanta has a glass roof, the xkr speed and black has a small bodykit and all the rest are unique cars

  9. I have changed the signature but it doesnt seem to have updated yet, and I have a few ideas, i've been doing a lot of long distance driving and couldnt afford it anymore and dont have the space for more than 2 cars, and I cant get rid of the 5 when I have so many plans for it!!!
