Help, or advice needed. My sister has just bought a Clio 182 and I am getting itchy hands for a new car!!
I currently have £2,500 cash, and an 97 Escort Si with 65k on the clock in average condition. I am looking to upgrade to a second hand car with a lot of oomph. Not quite sure how much I will get for my car (not much I would imagine) but I am looking to spend a maximum of 8k, any suggestions?

Spend the £2,500 and a bit more on a 106 GTi, and keep the cash from your Escort for something else. They are nice little cars, and go really well.

All Leons are 1.8 20 valve Turbo enigines, same as the TT. You would do better for your 8K to look at the Ibiza if a small car will do. 150BHP can be chipped to 210 with no probs. Get one in Ovni Yellow. The Bee's Knees!
If you need something with a bit a space, try an Octavia vRS. *K will get a sensible mileage Y reg or 30-40000 '51' plate. 180BHP acn also be chipped to 210 :twisted:

Get a Smart Car!
Apparantly in Germany a lorry ploughed into the back of one and drove for 3 miles or so down the Autobahn before realising what had happened as he couldn't see the darn thing!
