antz Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 i woke up this morning with the incredible urge to buy a toyota corolla ae86. ok its jap but i love them cars. only thing is im 18, already own 3 cars, got no space, got no money and the inurance company spank me enough on the escort let alone a 1.6 jap rocket. so many cars i wanna own but proably never will cos i get too attache to them i mean ill never sell the escort. the volvo is 50/50 with my dad and the suzuki is prob only worth about £200.. ARGH!
antz Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Posted July 12, 2007 good luck getting insurance norwich union just refused me a quote unsuprisingly. ok i think ill leave the ae86 a few more years still so many cars i want and so little money, space, time and it doesnt help that i get too attached to cars and dont wanna sell them!
Stu_B Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Yup I want about 20 different cars! Thinkin' of getting an rx-7 I won't be able to afford one for a while though!
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 You've got all the time in the world. Do what I did. Have cheap cars until you're 25 when the insurance goes down, then buy a hot hatch. Or rather a faster car.
MightySprocket Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 had one 10ish years ago jap escort, even rust the same
antz Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Posted July 12, 2007 oh i know they rust! my uncle has one in his garage thats rotten from the rear wheels back but hes plating it up for a drift car. i see your point zetecvan but i dont wanan wait im 18, sometime in my life gotta start sving for a house blah blah blah so i want the cars now while i can oh well a 3.1% payrise at work has just cheered me up. shuold get me a few more tanks of fuel ho hum
S2 Dee Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Antz, the list will only grow longer as time goes by! I have reached the point where one lotto win won't do. I'd need one for all the cars and another win to build the garage and workshops.
Arched Escy Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 I'd have a bout 10 capris,100 escorts,15 cortinas,skylines,corollas,supras,mantas.......

Admin Mk2Jo Posted July 12, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 12, 2007 Antz ... it doesn't matter how many cars you have mate ... you will always want more - i know i do
sab6024 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 I'm the same. There's a huge list of cars I want but have to be realistic. I also get bored of cars too easily. When I win the lotto I'll have them all and my massive lock up for them all. My next car is gonna be a Saph Cossie.............dreaming again
Noodles Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 If I had an ae86 I would find it so hard to resist putting the engine in the mk2
tazrocks88 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 see if i had money all i would want is to finish my escort get a subaru impreza an aston dbrs9 and that would suit me till i could afford to get an rx8 a dodge charger a mk1 escort lotus twincam a mk1 cortina lotus twincam a cozie escort a ford focus st (asbo) a 67 mustang gt500 an elanor replica a christine replica an a team van replica a general lee replica all the mad max cars in replica a grave digger replica monster truck oh sorry i may have gotten a bit caried away

hellblue Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Dreaming is easy, 41 willys coupe rat rod model A The Sniper (rad rides by troy) 67 Camaro 69 Camaro 67 Mustang Boss 429 Mustang Rs500 some of Chips cars from overhaulin ect, ect.
bmxdave Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 It does my head in too. Coz im 19 and only driving for 7 months, insurance quotes can be silly. And its not like i cant afford them, its just the principle. Im not giving them money they dont deserve. By the time im 25, ill be in my own house and probably too poor to play with cars, plus the fact car prices that im interested in will continue to rise.

antz Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 i want: toyota corolla ae86 escort mk2 harrier escort mk2 sport (would have to be completely original) my dads old cortina crayford delorean dodge viper thats just off the top of my head at this very second
Admin Vista Posted July 14, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 14, 2007 I had a huge list of cars I wanted, but it shrunk to just one when I sat in one of the new Jag XK's this afternoon. I figure if you're going to have a dream car then it makes sense to have one that you might realistically stand a chance of owning one day. After all, a GT40 (or similar) is a lottery win with a 1 in 14 million chance. One of these at say 3 years old however, is possible with a reasonable salary and perhaps a friendly bank manager. EDIT: Will someone please tell me WTF an AE86 is?
