    loads in terms of outright driving, not many interms of solid build, comfort, practicality, sound and overall enjoyment i'd say.

      Get a second car, that should satisfy the itch for now. Something old and cheap but with more character in its front grille than a modern euro-box has in its entire body

        If you can find one - metro turbo granny spec lol, rare as hell now as most have rotted away and will only go up in value


        plus will fit in with the pipe and slippers routine or would that be a montego/maestro turbo??

              They're bad enough with 4 cylinders, let alone double that Great car to drive though, very different to the S2 but similar in character to a mk.2 Golf but a bit less forgiving.

                    Darren, you been reading Evo this month too then?

                    GT2 indeed. Pah! GT was the special edition, GT2 was just a styling exercise...

                        25 years of the M3 and they chose the styling exercise that was the E36 GT2 (read imola red individual evo) to represent the 'best of the breed' rather than the rather special M3 GT. Again - Pah!

                        I love the 3.0, my Mum had one, it was ace

                            Ive had lots of cars over the years, but the ones that I loved other than my s2 were...

                            Fiat 131 abarth
                            delta mt16 turbo
                            alfa gtv(1980's v6)
                            saab 900 turbo (proper ones not gm crap)

                            Out of all of them, the saabs are best bang for buck, and when set up they handle great, but they are fwd and the looks are an aquired taste. the build quality is excellent and they are tough as warships.Hard to find cheap ones now, but if you did and spent a few quid you have a car that will compete with most things on the road at least.
                            Never had anything but trouble with the beemers and mercs.
