Anything that wipes the smug smile off an M3 driver's face is alright by me. Quite fancied one of the later Gti's or similar before I bought my Mini.

I'm still considering one but cant decide if it would be any better than my current Rover 45.

Honestly dude, you can get a 1.4 K-series for literally pennies, and still have more power than an A-series that's had lots of money spent on it...

*awaits headgasket and overheating to be mentioned*. Oh, you fools.

I'm so with you, between me and John with the blue metro, we have accumulated thousands of miles over various sized K series engines, with 80% of the driving either at the nurburgring, castle combe other track events or drag racing. we have not suffered any HG failure during this time.

I hate to be the person that blabs on about how amazing K series are compared to A series... but what is that theory based upon may i ask?

Did you see this one that ended a few days ago on ebay? Cant believe it went for that little, its gorgeous!

http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649

If it was on in 6 months time it would be mine, need a more secure, reliable and comfy car for uni (the Mini wont be going though!)
