At work so can't upload the pic of the Subaru I like ...

Size / seats / fuel won't be a issue as this will be my car. So something nippy / sound good :-)  ill post links I've been looking at later. And s2000 I like also but again never driven ..

Correct assessment of 4WD Golfs

 :notworthy: sums up what I was saying about the r32 and the s2000 is a great car having worked at Honda for years it's a screamer but needs to be driven hard  :driver: cheap car too also look the dogs modded

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

S2000 gets my vote from the list so far. Keeps on revving to 9 gazillion and the traction comes from the correct end of the car.  :driver:

I like that era of Scooby, and so long as it doesn't have 555 stickers all over it, I think it's escaped the chav image well.
