    Seriously tempted by a TT 300zx/RX-7(may not fit in it) for next year and buying a diesel daily driver like a diesel Alfa 156/early 159

    Am i cracked or just bored ?:p

    Diesel 156. Bear1 had 250k miles before sending his to the scrap yard and has been regretting it ever since. And the 2.4 is easily re mappable over 200

    To afford tax on a 2.4 you would need to be getting classic insurance and maybe converting a 300zx to commercial to make it affordable

    Comfortwagon alfa diesel and a pure japanese 90's top tier sportscar

    Nah the daily has to be decent and comfortable with abit of poke to make the plan viable (+ i don't need a "lolz learn me to manual transmission" car)

    I don't do big miles but would love a top end japanese car i adored as a teenager for meets/weekend lolz and a daily driver that i could honestly live with for under 2 grand

    Question for ya'll.

    Anyone know what the little sinister V symbol is on this road sign? It's been bugging me for years.

    The 2.3 bucket its in isnt that much! Also the car is dirt cheap. Not sure on the Classic tax.. that clearly isn't going to happen on a 2.4JTD 156? But its not in any sort of extreme insurance band or anything.

    Meant more along the lines of classic insurance on the 300 as you don't get to use your no claims bonus on a 2nd car and convert to commercial to kill the 1800 quid tax (lol the look on peoples faces as you pull into a doe centre) so the main cost would be the tax on the alfa really.

    Tempting

    I have Bosch aero twins and find them good. I also heard trico are supposed to be good but I've never actually used them myself.
