A Question for the motor heads - is this possible?

[rocky black]

I'm going to be looking for something hopefully in the next 2 months or so. As outstanding as the mother's micra is, i need my own car. Thing is, i need something that will be able to a take a good load eg speakers, amps etc. Decent suspension is paramount, as is a little bit of power (you cant imagine how funny it is, driving up any kind of hill with a tonne of speakers in the back and front of a 1ltr micra - im sure i saw blood coming out of the exhaust the next day). Budget wise, including insurance, could only be about 6 or 7 grand MAX id say. I'd consider a jeep, estate or even one of those stupid looking combis. Also, im 22 and waiting for my test. Hopefully will get that outta the way but im thinking what options I'm gonna have?

Mini jeeps are even more power strangled so get rid of that idea. A Citroen Berlingo mightn't be an bad idea but don't think you could get and insure a decent one within your budget. A small diesel car-van like a 306 van or something would probably be the best overall but it might be a bit small.

IN a word you are looking for a deisel, if i was you i'd look at late nineties audi estates.

i've seen a few nice A4s, not much around cork but i'd be willing to travel. Saw a few 1.6 Volvo S40s actually that wouldnt break the bank. always liked those. did an online insurance quote thing there a few days ago. for a 1.8 a4 it quoted me just over 7 grand. savage been a feen i must say

The 1.8's are petrol, turbo and N/A.

The dirty diesel are 1.9.

You can get the Audi in 1.6 petrol too rocky. Heavy, and slow though.

Or...a Passat

or even a Golf...

i was thinking of a passat alright. saw a few older ones that'd do the job. wouldnt have enough room in a golf i dont think. something or around that kinda size, ye know yereselves. something basically to drive into the ground. 1.6 would be plenty power id say, i think its been a while since you've driven a one litre maggot, you're starting to forget what slow really means. listen, next weekend, ill take your car and you can take mine. it'll be educational

There's always the option of an Opel Agila..............................

 

[rocky black]
