Still not sorted out with the insurance yet but i have been told that since I have been promoted after i got the CTR my budget might be up to £18,500

(the company buys the car outright)

Im thinking towards a Golf GTi or Focus ST. Would love an Soob or Evo but think that might get veetod by the boss

1) CTR
2) A3 might need extra ££££
3) Mini cooper S
4) http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/megane/ The diesel got a good write up in EVO 250lb torque

3) Mini cooper S .....NO NO NO: see earlier in this thread
4) http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/megane/ The diesel got a good write up in EVO 250lb torque ....quick car, but renaults are built like sh1t; will spend most it's life in a garage

Point taken - as ugly as a bulldog licking pish off a nettle - but quick, RWD & good handler...
