ITV4 I Want That Car

londonTiger

i like bothj googlebox and fried chicken shop over many other "popular" shows to be honest. It's not about the setting or subject matter it's about people interacting with each other. I'm a big people watcher you see and find people interacting with each other fascinating, there's also stories to tell and a lot of drama.

A ford focus is about as unattention seeking as you can get! I think a skoda in VRS form only just tops it.

Mind you, this Vrs has a bit of attitude;)

That would blow the Audi TT, Focus and Lotus into the weeds.

WTFH

You want something that stands out and is sub 18K as a weekend car?

Stuff that, get a caddy CTS instead:

How about this for less than £10K. You could use the rest on insurance, fuel and a bit of a safety net - but with that mileage it should be a great car.

These two would certainly get some attention

Personally I wouldn't mind something like this

£18k?
I'd be looking at VX220 Turbos, Porsche 911's, and I'd be hoping an NSX 3.2 popped up in budget (it wouldn't, they're still over £20k).
An elise might be in with a shout, or a BMW E61 M5 if the Mrs had any say: It's got a boot! It's Practical! No, that's the fuel gauge dropping to the floor, not the temp....

I had a sneak at the NSX too, cheapest I found was cat registered. Looking at around £40k otherwise

Sure you could get a focus RS and I'm not doubting it isn't fast, but it will be worth f*ck all in 5 years time. To be attention seeking, it needs to be something that isn't a common sight on the roads, and something that is eye catching (in a good way, not a bright green clio cup etc). A lotus elise/esprit, ferrari dino, etc unless you smash it up will not depreciate, plus you'll look cool. A TVR tuscan of some sort even. I don't think anyone can look cool in a focus, a civic, a golf, any skoda or an astra, no matter what letters are glued next to the name.

If we are going on looks... this dosn't need bright green to get noticed.
