Send it all to Nigeria as the deposit for one of those poor desperate people who need to get money out of the country. Then when I get my hands on my share of their millions I'd be able to do what I wanted.
Gotta speculate to accumulate.

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

I'd get a KGC130 from Japan and finish my KGC110 to my original plans.

2 year old Peugeot 307 with finance. Failing the lobotomy, I would plump for a CROWN and spend the change on sorting out the B310, 120A and Carina.  |

Hmm... 5k would get all the bits on the Golf that I want doing sorted, and a 2.0 valver lump in there too  Don't think it'd stretch to a 20vT transplant, which is what I'd really like, cos all the brakes and therefore wheels and everything would have to be swapped too... Since I can't do any of it myself, I'd have to factor in labour costs, you see ;D |

5k? Too many choices. I think I'd buy an ultimately sorted 2cv from one of the specialists. Rust free, galvanised chassis, as new. Not glamorous or fast but I've always had a hankering for one and for that money it would be about as reliable and practical as retro transport gets. Thread joining anyone?  |

I had a third gen Firebird, great car, went and handled really well. Was a 91 Formula 350 with the 350 TPI engine, which was still a good old fashioned small block chevy but with a bit of modernising, single piece rear main seal and roller follower lifters on the cam. Handled really well for a yank and was economical too. Would also do 0-60 in 6.3 secs from the factory. Mine had the optional performance diff ratio of 3.27:1 (standard 2.83) but still was only doing something like 2200 RPM at 70 MPH. They do have a bit of a following in the states, check out www.thirdgen.org although they are seen as cheap clunkers over there. Things like these and there sister Camaro's and the Mustangs may become popular when the teens of the 80's get older and have there mid life crisis! Sean |

Also bear in mind that any third gen V8 Camaro or Firebird you see advertised as a 5.7 may well be a 5.0 (ask me how I know), go armed with the option codes you can download of the site I mentioned in my last post. For a real 5.7 you are looking for code L98 (where did I leave my anorak)
