I deservedly got shot down in flames when i mentioned the Nissan 100NX as a possible new motor for me. I have seen one properly now and you were all right.
How about Charade GTTI? Drove one a few years ago and it was good fun.
Thing is I'm still thinking about getting another Rocco which wasn't helped by parking next to Irocco at RCS.

Slap me if I'm going way off course here but what about a Suzuki Swift GTi?

Well, maybe a sensible arrangement can be made for my Rocco...........? Seeing all those big powered drag cars has got my mind ticking over slightly faster than normal (and probably a lot lowder than the Rocco) - the wife would probably divorce me if I started a new project, but as long as the divorce didn't cost me much I'd prepared to take one for th team Something old J + Skyline GTr engine something (ish) - a little vague I know, but the sun really did get to me on Sunday and I'm sure it's fried some of my brain cells.........

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

There's only one problem with Starlets = INSURANCE

I reckon late this year/early next year I will be looking for a Charade. Thing is Insurance. The Imp is on Footman James. Rootes policy. Nymph. Footman James Kitcar policy. Range Rover. Hyperformance everyday car policy. If I get another car I will have four lots of car insurance

There are a few things to look for, rear calipers are the sliding type and they can stick. Listen for clicking when the brakes are applied. Apart from that they are very good, engine and turbo are fine (mine had 100k on the clock and it purred) The rev counters always die after a very short time, there is an inadequate transistor in the dash that stops working.

Oh forgot to mention, they also sound fantastic. Imagine half a skyline engine and you have it!

My landlord's son has got a 92 Charade Gtti convertible, looks like a proper factory conversion but I cant find a photo of them anywhere. They hood stows where the back seats should be. Looks like a little pick up truck with the hood up!

How about a multi-coloured 1978 (small light chrome bumper) 1500 Golf Mk1 three door with ultra rare Ronal alloys, GTi interior, brakes and suspension.... ? Cheap... yours for £350..... loads of tax & ticket.... no? Hmmmm, OK.

Just cos something is good for you doesn't mean its good for everyone - for example Marmite does not make good Dog Food.
