I'd get the Z4... It's one of two modern sporty cars I'd buy, the other being an S2000.

I want sumat that people see and mutter to themselves, oh my, why is my life so curse word. why can't I be like him. I wanna make people feel curse word Well, that's a disgusting attitude. Highly agree. To be honest, if you want to be noticed, you need something old and quirky, preferably 60s, maybe 70s. Personally its the stuff i notice when I'm out and about because its so different to everything else, has a very distinct look. Personally i'd reccommend a W108, Sunbeam alpine stuff like that. |

Charm, charisma and respect can't be bought. You can have a nice car but if your a bit of a knob, you'll still be a knob. Just a knob with a nice car. |

 You need to get on the phone to this man. This is Michael Carroll, in 2002 he won £9.75m on the National Lottery, by 2006 he was down to less than £500k, by 2010 he was claiming Jobseekers Allowance once more. He spent his money on hookers, drugs, a big mansion and you guessed it, nice cars. He is the living proof that looking flash and wiping peoples face in the fact you have more than them doesn't make them jealous, it just makes you a curse word. Oh, and as a side note he appeared on the television this week and one of the little tidbits from the brief interview was that the going rate for an Orgy down his way (Norfolk if you're truly interested) was 'about five grand' so that may well be another avenue to look down if your cash is really starting to burn your pocket lining. |

I'm glad I'm not the only who thought the OP comes across as a bit of tit with that statement...
I think you'd feel more at home on Pistonheads if that's what your after, Why not buy a Reliant Robin if you want to be noticed.

I wanna make people feel curse word I'd spend say £500 on an old estate, and then the other five grand on INCREDIBLY CUTE KITTENS, and then just sit in the back of the car somewhere public with affectionate kittens crawling all over me. That would make people feel their lives are curse word, because they're not covered IN REALLY CUTE KITTENS. |

Ahhh don't be a bunch of holier than thou pedants, you all know full well what he meant, he just said it in a humorous tongue in cheek way, he clearly wants a car that people look at and go 'ooohhh' the choice of car reflects the demographic you're interested in attracting, half the people on this forum build their cars simply to get a reaction, weather that's people at the gathering going 'ooof' or Mr and Mrs suburban semi tutting as you roll down the street it's all the same.. There's no right or wrong reason to enjoy a car, if you an enthusiast, and love it then 'good on ya' I've owned everything from vintage cars to almost new Japanese boxes via hundreds of other styles/types and they all get praise from someone, if you enjoy that so what? You lot should try to be less sanctimonious what you're displaying here is no better than the 'trad' classic car lot getting upset when a rodder sticks a V8 in a 50's ford or someone on here stuffs an MX5 engine in a MGb, which seems to be an attitude you all despise..... apparently. An open mind is a virtue |

I wanna make people feel curse word Blow £1,000 on 'sumat' like a Hilux Surf then you've got £4,500 to spend on sum rimz:  Then people will give you the kind of responses you deserve. You'll sure get lots of attention.  |

might not be a Hilux but it NEEDS a Tamyia sticker down the side and a huge roof aerial!
I'd hate to do a 3 point turn in it!

On a serious note, the elans with izuzu turbo engines can be had for about 5k meant to drive spot on.

I've come close to buying one a couple of times, but build quality is a bit dodgy. Windows/roofs don't meet and you always get water coming through the top of the window, so not great with the roof up. |

An open mind is a virtue I'm sorry but i havent built a car with the intention of 'attracting' anyone since i was 19. Even then the only people who were 'attracted' to a matt black capri weren't the kind of people i was trying to 'attract'. I'm sure the OP isnt a massive tool in real life, its just that from that post he doesnt do himself any favours. |
