They are just over the £25k - I still think I am settling on the 1 series coupe M sport I want RWD. I just need to sort out the color. Alpine White with black leather or M-sport blue with red 'pimp my ride' leather.

you dont get much from a A4, 3 series for £25k - would be a basic model with not much in it. Also for the miles I do - a diesel is on the cards. I still have to pay for my fuel! At least the 1 series coupe or convertable would be top spec for that money!

Not the hatch, the coupe or convertable - hatches are much cheaper. So what else is there? What would you get from the brands listed?

Has to be brand new - which is nice but limits my choices I guess.

Hi all, sorry I haven't been on for a little while, I have been looking in everyday in case I was needed - just been busy at work! Anyway back to my question. I have been offered a company car up to £25k and quite like the 1 series M-sport coupe 118D with leather or the 118D sport convertable without leather. Has anyone had a 1 series, what do you think? are there better cars out there for that money? I can anything from: Audi, BMW, Lexus, Saab, Vauxhall or VW. Price has to be on the road price including options. What would you go for?

I will never really leave this place - I'm part of the furniture!

Here for another year!:tongue: Can you update my account please Issac? Steve

My circumstances seem to change as often as my pants (at least twice a year) and I now find myself ready to buy another 300zx :hyper::hyper: Ideally I would be looking at S2 or later manual TT with minor tastefull upgrades only for around £4kish depending on how much I get for my current car. My only problem is I was picked up by a mate recently in his '99 XK8 shaped convertable which had the XKR supercharger package on it. It was a mind numbingly beautiful car with 300zx matching pace and handled well considering it was an auto. My mate is convinced for a little more (around £4750) I could get one. I love the 300zx dearly and have had 5 now (although non have captured my heart like my blue TT - that went really well!)... I know I should go for the TT - but that Jag was just goregeous! What would you do?

:duffer::duffer:Muchos Gracias all

Gratz, it's in good hands

I am http://twitter.com/themitchelli

gotcha, that was easy!

from the randomness that comes from you, I would have thought it would have been the perfect place for you to preach to your legion of folllowers about the misuse of neon lights and stuck on spoilers!

It just suits my lifestyle more, and i can tweet on my phone easily - so much easier than proper web pages like facebook.

It's much quicker than face book, and if you watched the gadgetshow Dance off between twitter and facebook - twitter was better at reaching more people quickly. facebook probably rules when contacting your proper friends though.

Yep you guessed it, I have managed to stay away from the social FaceBeboMyBook phenomenon until now! I am officially on twitter! come follow me - tweet tweet. http://twitter.com/TheMitchelli :smash::smash:

I am replacing all my contractors with perm staff hence jobs... but sheffied is only an hour away. It's an easy commute if your interested. If you can do both, I would definately be interested in talking to you further.

Well I only deal with software development, but I can always keep an eye out. This is based in Birmingham (2 minutes from Aston Villa grounds) so as long as you don't mind travelling from Bristol, I will look for you.

In this world of Doom and gloom, I need to recruit 2x senior developers in Birmingham. One developer needs to be experienced in .Net 3.5 One developer needs to be experienced in SQL server 2005 Both roles offer a great package (salary + flex benefits) for a leading international IT services company and.... the opportunity to work with me! If you want to know more.. drop me a line.

Now theres a blast from the past! How you doing Jason?

congratulations matey.

Hi Si, Was great to meet you and your family. I am pleased my car went to a real enthusiast. I felt really sad seeing it drive away - but I know it's in good hands. Steve

Happy birthday mate - still up for a pint soon?

I have an engine stand you can borrow - save you buying one.
