I'm also guilty of looking elsewhere and accidentally letting slip that I'd be interested in something different, and not even German. Recently had a hankering for a Clio Trophy, but not sure I'd be able to put up with the quality issues and the actual size of the car (not too fussed about it being fail wheel drive though).
In the new year I'm wanting to get a caddy van as a runabout so I can stop using the S2 for going to the shops etc. but keep looking on Pistonheads and finding S1 106 Rallyes for the same price and my heart is shouting way louder than my head! They'd be sensible and alright on fuel, wouldn't they?! :mischeif:

I raced a clio 182 with the s2 and that just made me laugh, fair do's the guy kept up with me in 3rd till the turbo kicked it and it was like he'd stamped on the brakes
My mate has a 106 gti tuned to 130+ bhp, not much but light car, spent last sat all the way from lakeside down to south mimm's at 140+ mph, they shift and do look the part, I have been tempted but that was till he took it for the mot, s reg and already needing two plates welding.
Surprised no'one's commented yet on wanting a lancia intergrale, I know I would if there was anyway it could be reliable for a daily driver (heard too many stories about problems and the shells stress cracking for fun)
Add to martyns comment , silly money for a good one and the wheel is on the wrong side .... I do enough damage with te wheel on the right side.. Stunning car though

My flatmate is currently having a VTS engine put in his AX GT, which will be good fun. I don't think I could go that french though, just been on the 106 rallye register, there's one for sale in Glasgow
Integrale would be nice, LHD isn't too much to get used to, just make overtaking a little more interesting.
To be honest though, it's a 911 that would do it for me, although you wouldn't get one for the money that Andy is talking about (or certainly not one that you would buy). Maybe one day.
Sad you are gonna sell the Alpiweiss andy I really like yours... Don't ever think about Integrales, here in italy ppl adore it... even it the engine blows always, the body cracks if the suspension is dropped, the interior is ugly, and the rust dominates the car.... this people is weird...anyway... don't buy it ! hahaha why don't you go for a S4-b5??? Or take an S3-8L and drop a VR6 turbo on it! Or just buy a VR6 Synchro\4motion! that engine is mad! I love it!
- Looking for a S2
- Lancia Dedra HF turbo i.e. (4sale)
- Typ89 Coupè quattro, 20Vt AAN, VEMS, K24-7000@1.3bar (scrapped )
Have tried B5 S4 and there's no character to it, they're fast and capable and you don't really feel like any of it is down to you. Sure they can be made better but that costs severe £ and of course, you're always on turbo-meltdown watch

I believe you about the turbo melting. Didn't know the S4-B5 was like that... But are you looking for a light car? because if not, go for a UrS4\6 20vt... reliability is pretty high. I you want to go outside Audi, well... I don't know lol My eyes are stucked on the four rings!

I'm a Skyline fan but I'd have thought they were even worse than the Audis for parts etc. with them all being from Japan.
Not too worried about a light car, just something that interests me and that can be used for fast road and the occasional track day with some enjoyment thrown in.
