Just wondering what everyone would drive if they didn't have a G40?
This might not go down too well but if i didn't have a my G40 mk1 project id be looking at getting one of these (maybe not white but in silver or black) :) :

-
probably one of these
(http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/new/222441.jpg)
but start off with a cheap one, strip it out and turn it into a track day car, like I have done with my g40. I might even start off with a normal 80 coupe quattro and put the turbo engine into it and tune it a bit.

about £7k and a social life
-
ive been spending a lot of time browsing for a peugeot 205 gti 1.9 so at the moment probably one of them actually.
-
MK1 Ford Cortina GT 2 door.
or,
Ford Anglia 105E.
or,
Lada ES saloon (pre Riva shape). :o

You might like my Dad's car then breadman ;D

I would personally have a 306 Rallye (nearly bought one last year) or maybe something Jap
-
With out a doubt in the world i would have bought a Lupo GTI in black or arctic blue, and probably still be working out how the fook i was going to afford the turbo conversion. ;D
-
One of these:

Or when I sold my G40 last night *sob sob* in the days when I could only have one car .... I had a Mini Cooper S. Good little car and still had the charger which I loved. Until I found out everything was twice as much to change or modify!
p.s. I can't believe you all wouldn't have VW's!!! :p

Yeah, that looks very nice Max. 8) Tell ya Dad to get a period chrome door or peep mirror on it!
What engine/running gear does it have in it?
-
i'd still have my GT (hopefully without the royal mail induced dent!)

He put a chrome peep mirror on it the other day ;D
It's got the usual 1500 pre crossflow engine with a few bits...
-
R5 GT Turbo or a CRX
and obviously a lot better with the more money I had *sighs* :-\
-
I'd have a 2.5 tdi Transporter or a Caddy Pickup or a 325tds Tourer
-
Talbot Sunbeam Lotus
-
A mint Mk1 mazda MX5 BBR turbo..
Oh wait a minute..
That's what I have got, after selling the G40. There is life after G smiles!

I was thinking about this last night... A few to add to my list. T5 Volvo, Citroen DS ::), County Transit, Syncro Golf or Jetta, a Notch or Squareback, Scirocco, Phaeton TDI, Ford F250 pickup, Subaru Brat, A2 1.4 TDI, Audi 2.6 V6 Avant. Just a few that came to mind.
-
its a hard one, but i think it would be a merc 2.5 190e cossie or a golf rallye G60
-
Easy choice

I thought about this question a while ago and struggled.I'd like to
stay with the VAG Group but my mate has an Astra VXR and i
do like it....but it comes with a hefty price tag.So just to be
different i'd go for one of these....Skoda Fabia Vrs

-
Thought about an earlier one of these as the kerb weight is 860kg so junk the crappy
Rover K-Series engine and stick me G40 engine in making it lighter still.
Apparently, theres a firm in Leeds who put bike engines in them.
Fred.
-
Yep I'd love and Elise too. Either that or would be an R5 turbo or an RS1600 or and S1 RST. Possibly a MK1 XR2. There are loads of cars I'd have but they would be near the top of the list.
-
I'd have to go along with Sam as I also have a secret Ford appreciation shame...
S1 RS turbo was very nearly the project that the G40 has now become so if I hadn't bought the G, I'd have had one of those.
I'd replace my current daily (too embarrassing to name) with an Audi S2 at the drop of a hat.
Dream car? Escort Cosworth.
She will be mine.. Oh yes.. She will be mine...
-
to be fair i love old fords...the only mag i ever pick up in whsmith is fast ford or similar cos they have the best reviews and 'how to's' imo...
-
Oh yeah I would love to have an Escort Cossie one day. The prices are going back up again I have noticed. Awesome cars.
-
I only buy Ford mags and PPC for exactly the reason Spaniel said.
VW mags too cool for school...
Oh, and EVO for day dreaming!
-
i reckon i'd have a new mini but with something more interesting under the hood

Another little car ;D
-
Realistically if i didnt have the on-going "wallet abusing" addiction to building my G then i would have would have to move to the dark side of the world with a Nissan Skyline R32 or R33 GTR Vspec.. although i would need a second job to pay for the insurance lol.
I would still have to have a VAG as my daily though!!
-
good call on the Lancia Integrale 8)

Quite fancy an 8 series, would need some boost, nearly bought one a few months ago. ;D
Would love an e30 m3, although I think I'd prefer one of the Evo 190s.

Got to own an pulsar at some point, and an old 6 series. Always gauping at the lotus carlton down the road everytime I go past it. Mmmmmm.

a pulsar gearbox is made out of that stuff that accumulates in your belly button.
