Well, even when you're 22 it's still no easier. Gotta wait till you're 25 and win the lotto, or, if you have rich folks, you don't have to wait at all.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'd still do up the Astina (my 96 model that is), but I'd also get a new, FULLY optioned Mazda 6. Then, I'd be a very happy chappy! Oh, and mabey a sh!tbox old 4x4 for some bush basin'.[/colorost_uid0]

Yep, you're right. First gen Hummer, with the optional armour plate. I can't believe they actually sold that as an option, or was the reviewer having us all on?

And, depending on how big the lotto win was, I would also get a rotor, mabey the new RX-8 as well as doing up the 323 (Astinas just kick arse) and the 6[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]I like the RX-8 but not as much as the 7. I like turbo !!
Change the sequentials to a Series5 single, wind up the boost
and you got a rocket. Agree maybe 20's now. Maybe go
the blue thats close to Noble Green have a theme going.
Dark with chrome wheels, maybe even go the same as the
Astina. Stop it guys. I know the Credit Union would approve
the loan, so don't be putting ideas in my head. I got no
willpower to say no. Just like drinking

Doesn't the RX-8 have a turbo as standard? That's bit f%^ken rich[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Bummer, still, if it makes the same as a turbo RX-7, imagine what it can do with a decent turbo setup. Being a later engine with new technology, you'd want it to be making more power than previous versions, either that or producing the same amount but with less fuel consumption.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Unless I have got my wires crossed the new RX-8 is NA.
Has very similar output to the turbo through some
innovative design but still NA so will take more effort to
increase the output above that.

two rotors 1.3 litres non turbo, DAMN.
it was clock at 60kmph in first gear 9000rpm, 105kmph in second and 160kmph in third.
