Anyway, Imma buy an M3 soon. Or maybe a Mustang, just for the fuck of it.

I would suggest an impala over a mustang though... Or possibly a Ford Galaxie,

but it's a lot of money for an imported one, especially since I'd want the SS.
Old ones look pretty but are lethal to drive.

it wasn't until you got close that you realise how much shitty plastic they use on the interior which explains why they are much cheaper than a European car.

but also there's no tech in them. It's easy to make a car cheap when you base in on an iron-block V8 that was designed in 1957 and some cart suspension.

there's absolutely nothing like a big V8 and tiny drum brakes all round for tightening that sphincter.

They did a nice one and fully converted drums to discs, the V8 soundtack is fucking lovely .

There's a place somewhere in the south-east that produces a rebuilt 1967-era MGB with a 240 bhp Mazda engine in it, along with a getrang box and slightly properer rear suspension. I'd really like one but a) they cost 50K and, y'know, 50 fucking K? and b) swipe would be jealous.

Ditto TVR Tuscans from about 2000.

Me and a couple of friends were thinking of getting an Elise between us as a track day car.
The TVR Tuscan is that the Batmobile looking one?
