another new guy

Welcome. I would recommend the forester or one of the estate models impreza/Legacy for yourself being a family man and all. Some even have decent performance but are stealthy so you won't be challenged to a drag race at every set of drag red lights.Good luck. :thumbsup:
 
I like the looks of the Impreza wagon.

I do like something with a bit of zip. I dont need a fire-breathing monster with tyre-shredding performance, but i do like a reaction to the right foot.
Never having been in one, I'm just assuming any 2L turbo will provide that grin. Am I right ?


A couple of pics of my current steeds ...
Cant find any new pics of the 911, but its still identical.

So the above will be sharing the garage with a subaru of some sort.

And .... the MK1 GTI, its a 1.8 Campaign model, pretty much standard
(hopefully the source of funds for a subaru ...)

welcome along man, love your 911 and your golf.
what about something like this forester http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1976988 its fast, alot of room, not as harsh as an impreza but you still get the sound and its a good price. best of luck with the search :thumbsup: and no one will mind any silly questions about scoobys. sure everyone has to start somewhere. enjoy the club :icon_grin:
 
Welcome Dealgan! Lovely collection of cars you have. The 911 is pretty special looking and I can understand why you don't want to sell it.

I good friend of mine is inot his Mk1's and has a green Campaign one... lovely cars... a lot faster then I ever anticipated too.

Don't go NA... best getting a Turbo if you like having a little power under the foot when you're in the mood... and so long as the insurance isn't a problem. 3/4k will buy you a classis turbo (1993 - to early 2001). You're best going for a UK/Irish car rather than a JDM car... as they are set up for our roads and fuel and don't require mapping. If you've a family... I'd advice a wagon as they are so practical... a little more discreet and... and quick to boot. If you can throw a grand or two extra at you budget you'll get a nice Bugeye Impreza.

The pic below is the Wagon I recently bought myself... just to get you in the mood! :thumbsup:

Yeah, the golf is surprisingly quick for a 1.8 with only around 110 bhp. Plenty of smiles per mile.
Horrible electrics though, but i guess at nearly 30 years old it cant be perfect. Have the dash out right now trying to troubleshoot some of the electrics that never worked since I got it !

That black forester on donedeal wouldnt be my cuppa tea at all... too flashy for me.

I do like that wagon Jamie. Very nice indeed :thumbsup: I'll have one of those please !

Denis, I might take you up on that offer sometime. Cheers.

Thanks for the pointer & suggestions folks, keep 'em coming.

Cheers, or, for the day thats in it, Sláinte.

Welcome along and good luck with the hunt :thumbsup:
Have to agree wth the rest of the lads a wagon has a lot going for it especially when there's family involved :subaru:

Cheers, P
 
Welcome along Lad :thumbsup:

Lovin' the MK1 Golf.........had one very similar many moons ago.........Pirelli Wheels and all :icon_pray:

Best of Luck with the purchase :thumbsup:
