    Wes - Was thinking that but it means a boring 4 door and a cossie powered Mk2 all good but n time to sort it.

    Slim - I'd be a dead mad

    Scott - How right can you be, you just can't win!

    Sharon - your a nice lady type person, can't you have a word with her like girly to girly!

    How about a saloon that looks like a coupe ? The rear door handle on the Alfa 156 are sited in the C posts so it looks like it's a 2dr ... sweet !

    Re: What do yo do when the Mrs wants a 4 door?

    Kel, i'd love an Evo 6 or even better the 7 (prefer the 7 as it looks a little bit more subbtle if Lancer can!) but can you lend me the extra 10 grand i'd need! they are a fortune, I have a budget of 15k! May just hang on and see what comes up!

    Don't know enough about scoob's Per, I am going to stick a post on the scoob section!

    Re: What do yo do when the Mrs wants a 4 door?

    15K !!! You said you were skint??

    Why dont you get something totally different mate? There are loads of better cars out there than Scoobies and Evo's in my mind?

    Does it have to be 4 door??

    I still have a soft spot for XJR Supercharged Jags. You can get a nice one for 10 to 11 grand and thats a hell of a lot of car for that money. And they sure do shift!!!!!

    I never need the money and i'm never skint, so if you ever hear me say I can't come drinking as I have no money I am lying!

    Hmm, did think of the Jag option but can you imagine how much a service would cost on one of those things? Driven the Supercharged XK8 and thought the handling was very spongy and the brakes weren;t progressive (like stop or dont typ thing if you know what I mean) but will have a look this lunchtime!

    Re: What do yo do when the Mrs wants a 4 door?

    Thanks Gmac, but i have phoned the one at Century motors and the mileage is well high, I now BMW's go on and on, but it is a performance car, the Epsom one I would snap up but the Mrs does not like Techno Violet, is she fussy or what, oh and red or yellow. The other are a little out of my range, but you can;t get a better car for the price don;t you think, you been in one?
