Hi all,

Well we all know the estimates... Just Under 1 yr for the ST and 1-2 Yrs for the RS...

Are u setting a certain amount aside each week/month towards buying it?

I am

I have a very big Glass Beer Jar... i mean its 2 foot!!!

I add all my pennies to it as if i save notes i always spend them or if i leave it in the bank i will use it...

I convert all my cash into 50p or less... I managed to Add over £50 into the Jar this month and im really happy with that as it will go towards my deposite on the RS

I hope i keep going at this rate... im getting another job in the summer and im going to work my @ss off and save it all... could maybe get another Grand to add to my Savings account which will really help to bring the overall price down that i have to give my dad eventually!!!

What are u all doing and how?

Thx

Scotty

I'm selling my KA and smoking around in an old Granada so that it's do-able.
I am however being very stongly lured though by a Civic Type-R and 5%apr having just taken my mates one out for a spin.

No Hugh!!!

Yes the Civic Type R's are cheap and may have a good finance deal on them but m8... each time i look at one i just realise how old there begging to look and how many i see around now... they arn't eye catching any more and will really not appeal to anyone soon...

The Fiesta RS will turn heads everywhere and the Cosworth... well... pplz mouths will drop as that goes past!!!

Dont do it m8... keep ur cash and w8!!!

Ull be thankful u did!!!

You're not wrong, the styling is not to my exact taste but in black it does look pretty sexy from most angles.

It can be chipped to 230bhp though without affecting the warranty and they don't mind an exhaust and induction kit being fitted on top of that! I drove a standard one and was so impressed. I didn't quite like the rake of the front window or the never ending feeling of the dash, but when you start to drive it none of that matters. The brakes and driving position and the growl of the VTEC are just something to behold.

Here's a claim though - for a normally aspirated lump pushing out 200-230bhp in standard trim they Honda have never had a VTEC engine fail. That's mental.

I am sorely tempted, especially as they don't seem to understand the rules of depreciation. My dream car at the moment is a Mk1 Elise in Metallic Green, cream leather with the 2.0 VTEC engine fitted. [drool]

I cannot believe we have no drool smilie.... I shall fix that later today.

I've set up a standing order for £300 a month to go into my ISA account. That's officially my RS fund

Looks like a smilie eating some spinach

Or Dracula having just attacked spock!

Don't like it then..?

Will have to see what else I can muster up...

Now THAT one is funny..! Tongue like a roll of lino comes to mind...!

Hugh, get it added mate, and replace that pap that I uploaded...

Top work Kevin.
Craig, I'd already replaced yours with the one I did above.

Stolen from another site. I could lie and said I made it but I'm too honest

you sure..?

Then:

a) how come mine has still loaded?
b) yours has a completely different filename?

As it is a gaming site (and they're banned at my work!) I cannot see Kevin's BB, just wondered if there were any decent smilies on there worth having Hugh?? (I remember Kevin offering some when he first joined here...)

i am saving alot tbh. but i dont think ill get an insurance for the rs, maybe for the st but not for the rs. but i am gonna try anyhow.


i want that blue shiny thing on my driveway

I've saved about £9k already for my next car, which should be plenty for an ST / RS once I've traded in the ST220... just have to make sure I don't accidentally spend it on the house!

Sorry mate, that was directed at Hugh...

lolol
