v15ben Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 VXT for me, if it is a turbo that is! Like the S2K as well for the nut revving fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 The only one of those I've driven is the S2000. It had a knackered clutch but it was still a good car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Certainly should be a turbo as its a 2.0 not a 2.2 - and yes, it would get my vote too - flippin quick and cheap to make even quicker edit : Though £18k is probably quite optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayerbloke Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think I'd at least be tempted to go have a look at the car in the "Something a bit different..." post I just submitted. I suspect that'd be a minority view though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
