So my question...is it possible to have your car repainted? Would it not look weird? Like...the insides of doors and the inside of the bonnet and all being different colors?

after reading page 2, i revoke my comments.

Yup there's is nothing worse for claustriphobia then being in a small low profile car
caught in a traffic jam surrounded by suv's. Knowing that some crazed soccer mom
could drive over you at anytime having run out of valium.

Your in the 40k range if you buy a boxter.
Sure they are good in the twisties [I think they hold a record in the slalom?] but they don't have much grunt.

I guess it's all about what you're looking for in a car, performance vs looks, or a combo of both.

If I was going to spend around 40k on a car it would be an E46 M3 BMW.
Beautiful looking car, great cornering and damn quick for an n/a car. And they sound great :D

BMW M3 E46

Either that or a C6 Corvette :)

I have a VR4 [pic below] 3.0L, twin turbo, awd, aws, active aero, active suspension. They are damn fast stock, and if you put 3-5k into them, they can dip into the 11s with a good tune and good driver.

:eek: Actually just read the thread. If you've got the money for a 911, get a god damn 911 man!!! nothing else compares in that price range!

I dont have the money for a 911, i'd be getting funded for that. I've got the money for a boxter though. Oh and...im kinda trying to stay away from BMW's now...

Most of the guys I know've got some Jap or American car and they've spiced it up to get a real smooth ride. I'm beginning to wonder about that now. I drove the carrera I posted here though, the smooth turns you can pull off in that thing are killer compared to my old Z3! :|

sooo are you talking about this boxer?

btw i would go for an elise. Leave it blue. Dunno why, but I just think it's a rather cool car to have. Or go for a spyker. Those cars are really special

The Vauxhall Monaro is supposed to be amazing. They love it on Top Gear, and it's pretty cheap considering what it can do. If you want something that looks different and makes a lot of noise, consider and Monaro.

Ok, I don't claim to be a 'car guy' so don't laugh, but what about this Crossfire SRT?

Ok so come on, any recommendations? I'm willing to spend up to $120k NZ, which is $83k US and $46k GBP. But thats kinda pushing it. What car would you double take at?

Get a SUV.. probably Hummer 2.. thats a mans car.. and stop beating around the bush looking for porches and tvr's... thats for the lady's.

you're sitting on top of a goldmine of an idea... I should go ahead and buy that humidor for you, fill it with some rum-dipped havanas, and then call that an investment for that car... it'll be chump change for you.

Basically Rover was on its arse, so they decided they'd go for the boy racer and midlife crisis market... they flopped and are currently being bought by the chinese/liquidated...

I guess when I think about Charger... I think Dukes of Hazzard... not a Rover that took their styling cues from the Bentley Continental GT and cheapened the hell out of it.

Those MG Rovers were available before the Bentley. I quite like what MG did to that range, shame MG have gone now :(

Practically every wannabe-black person here owns a Skyline (so basically everyone, cos this is New Zealand remember?). The one you posted Gerbs looks like a Skyline GT. A Hummer is the same too, dude, im seriously no chav. Cant get American muscle cars here...or...well...not THAT one atleast...

Which guy PM'ed me to get the Ford GT? :\

Ok, down to seriously thinking about it, the TVR I cant even find anywhere here (not that I think it looks good anyways), im either settling for the boxter or a tricked out uncommon nissan/mitsu. So...which one would you call more...manly? :\

wait. there's white people in NZ that wannabe black!?

calls back job offer in Auckland.

There are only two types of people here. There's the black people who think they're gangsters, but they arent even really black...just...pacific. Every single one of them thinks they're a reincarnation of 50 Cent. There's also a MASSIVE load of white people like that. Then there's the white people who think they're the next big rockstar. Every white guy down the block has his own "band" that's named with a variation off "Rage against the ....."

Yeah, I hate this place :)
