special k track car!????

now as you may have gathered by now i have not yet had my first attemptat actually driving on track - not through want of trying ;-) and exercising my powers of persuasion.

so the lovely and slightly daft alex has now planted the thought in my head of me getting my own track toy
anything would be considered and you are all welcome to air your views- bear in mind folks £1000 limit and must be auto or semi auto....

like this maybe;

If you look past silly RWD cars as a starter track car... in all seriousness...

Easilly tuned, lightweight, nimble, Perfect imo.

that could actually be a hoot. start saving.

behave you!!

i was thinking more like....

needs a bit of love perhaps.....

this is so P I M P pmsl

Seriously think about the mini

Cooper engines fit directly onto the box, run some webber carbs and a cage you'll soon be outdriving most bigger stuff!

Do it

you two are a nightmare lol

any other bonkers suggestions???

the mini is worryingly not bonkers tbh, you'd make money off it.

7 series though.........bus.......not track material. think lightweight

Gets my vote

Personally in your situation...

perfect

i prefer the 300ZX i can growl around the track lol mini is cute but too much like my everyday car

woz- my situation????? you mean auto?

cheap first track car and it doesn't have gears

well the gear thing is just a temporary glitch in the plan for track domination
as for cheap- least i wouldn't be scarred of ragging it's bum off!!! lol

16valved Citroen AX is worth learning to drive a manual for!

hmmm....now this is nothing personal to all you saxo fiends ...but i really am not keen on citroens :-(

the whole auto thing is not by choice either- just wanted to pass quickly and agro free lol

keep the ideas coming though :-D

Who's is the AX? Awful wheels but the rest looks clean!

i do like that AX same opinion as masher though a set of Comp 2s and that would have been awsome.

k just learn to drive...


























A manual

I pulled it off AXOC randomly.. it's bloody lovely

it is a nice car....but the wheels are bloody awful!

woz- shush!
it is in my plan to "learn gears" but not my top priority

that yellow 7 at Combe last year had flappy paddles on it, but to be blunt the chance of you getting something like that before I do are so vanishingly small as to be invisble to the naked eye

LMAO!

The 7 was bike engined, so sequential not semi sadly.

You could easily mate a sierra or granada auto box would easily mate to a mondeo zetec

hmmmm....... we'll see....was just ann idea- doubt very much it will actually happen at the moment

yes alex you will probably get a 7 before me...but it will be a dinky model

Jag- i@m not a 60 year old man- show it to my dad pmsl
ac cobra YES PLEASE!!!!! awsome car and an all time favourite

Auto cobra

cobra is nice but wouldnt fancy trying to source panels for a kit made over 20 years ago

now you are insinuating that i would crash how very dare you !!!! lol

My next car shall be a kit car.

damn straight!!! all about 16v AX, not the quickest car at all but so much fun and underrated! agreed alloys are nasty.

surely you dont want auto for track action??

I must have bad taste, I think the allows are pretty decent, haha.

they don't look particularly great in the picture ( i am trying to be diplomatic but very difficult this time of the morning esp on a friday pmsl)

They look like something ripspeed would make, also abit big for an AX.

What about an auto 2.2 prelude?! (I know I'm biased as I have a manual one) Good cars though and quite quick?!

Or a 200SX?

supra?...how well you recon you could get one of them to corner, but atleast there are plenty of autos about

look boys.... auto is through temporary necessity not choice!!!
200sx - i like them - very sool
I said supra but alex pulls a face when i mention one pmsl (kind of like this - )

Theres an auto twin turbo supra in cheltenham driven by a bloke with no legs... tuned to the teeth too!

really??? has he got flappy paddles on the steering wheel then??
i think they are quite cool tbh

http://www.alfredbekker.co.uk/alfred-bekker-products/hand-controls-driving-aids/brake-and-accelerator-hand-control

Had an old rover at CMS with the same kit.... really strange thing to drive!

ahhh i see you are a font of knowledge

personally I would like a Supra, however its hard to find a manual, 3.0 turbo with a pop out roof for sensible money.

then I can paint it orange and blow the welds on the intake

Whilst the footwell falls through?


Speak to Si (toger13 on here) he's currently got an auto Supra that he really needs to get rid of. He's owned it since we were 16.

ooohhh ....... Alex!!!!!! lol
