Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted May 19, 2005 Except your subject says 9000 grand, which is £9,000,000. THAT would be impressive...... Hair-dressers car unless its the Turbo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted May 19, 2005 sorted !! it sold for 9 grand tho and i agree the turbo is the one to have but it's only 4 years just trying to remember what cat d covers, i still think that is a bit of a bargain.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 19, 2005 Very much a split decision on whether the Turbo is the better car, general view is that the NA is the better balanced, better handling car and not that much slower than the Turbo (apart from irrelevant top speed), it appears that the Turbos are shedding value more quickly than the NA's too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 19, 2005 Heh heh, they may look like hairdresser's cars but they'll scare the bajeebus out of you if you actually drive one (turbo or not). Definitely not a hairdresser's car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted May 19, 2005 Yeah, but you look like a plank getting in and out of a Corrado... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted May 19, 2005 You'd look a bigger plank trying to get into yours.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randal 0 Posted May 19, 2005 I'd rather have an Elise S2 anyday, just as I prefer the styling (and the Loads Of Trouble Usually Serious badge) Combine that with the Turbo Technics conversion and that's pretty much what I'd buy first if I won the lottery. Simple lad me. Don't get me wrong though, a VX is still a sweet car - it does share a chassis after all :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Yeah, but you look like a plank getting in and out of a Corrado... ;) You should try getting in and out of mine when 6ft 1 tall and audioscape doorpods and teh porsche turbo seats! It's definatly not a graceful thing! :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 19, 2005 I can get into mine nice and easily now it's stuck up on axle stands. Admittedly there's no interior innit now, but still... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted May 19, 2005 i agree would rather have the lotus but i am after a series 1 just prefer them, more raw but i'm not in any rush kinda waiting for a real bargain but just thought that was a bit of a bargain really, are there any issues with a cat d car with ins etc or is not that much of a problem....
