Sad news everyone!

As some on here may be aware, the price of petrol in the UK is currently a f**king pisstake, and as a result my dad can't afford to run his beloved Evo any more :'( so he's getting shot of it, probably quite soon in fact. In the meantime he'll need a replacement, obviously. So I ask you, the kind folk of PCA, to give us some suggestions of a replacement. Criteria is;

- Needs to have 4 doors
- Needs to be less than £3,000
- Must be reliable, or at least easy for me and him to fix if needed
- Must be something a little bit special at least, something he can look at and be proud of, you know?

So far we've considered the E36 328i and the 156 2.5 V6

On that note, if anyone fancies buying a fairly cheap Evo V, send me a PM.

Not in the UK, they're quite cheap, quite good if you're a buyer, not so much as a seller.

Also, in before Ed recommends a Volvo and/or DMC-12 recommends a classic Ford (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
