      Not sure why everone's so mad on XJSs they are fugly, if competant. Why not an XKR or XJR or even a Stype R? Plenty of BHP and comfort too, and loads of choice for 10k.

        - Must be 4 seat (or 2+2)
        - Prefer an older Sports model where the depreciation has hit bottom.
        - Must be reasonably fast.

        Shortlist so far:

        - 1980's 2 Door Sierra Cosworth
        - Lotus Carlton (though it would be the bottom end of the market)
        - TVR Cerbera
        - BMW 1980's M3 (Again, arse end of the market though)


        Any more thoughts / suggestions / owning experiences?

        BMW : 2006 BMW 335i SE Coupe, Low Mileage, Immaculate

        As fast (some say faster) as the last M3 and not so obvious

        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            It's an excellent car, very tunable. Being a chav I prefer the M Sport over the SE.

              He wants something for 10k ish, giving it bling costs more and adds nothing to the fun

                M Sport 335i has a more sporty suspension (read hard) and spoilers than SE and everyone knows cars with spoilers are faster.

                  Most say it's too hard, here's an SE that must be faster, although the mileage seems too good to be true

                    Trouble is for the same money as the 335i (which looks rather dull and common these days) you can get a 645i even in drop top guise, which I think is a better weekend plaything. The 335i is an IT bods commuter car, not a plaything.

                      What about an old style M635CSi? Or an 8 series?
                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
