Firestorm Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hey People! So i haven't been on the boards for a very long time now, due to band taking over my life. Regrettably i had to sell my beautiful Supra, but i wasn't driving her at all and you can't put a drumkit in a supra! doh! Anyway moving on.. i will eventually get another one probably next year or so (this time it'll be a Manual tho!) . In the mean time, can you chaps offer up any advice to what car i should get next. i need something fairly big to fit a drum kit in but i would also be looking for something a bit Pokey as well. I was thinking (and don't hate me) Subaru Impreza STi Wagon but sure. lets put a budget on this.. a car under 8 grand? Any Advice Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Get a stripped out NA and a smaller drum kit, loads of room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Get a stripped out NA and a smaller drum kit, loads of room! You would say that! but im currently rocking a 22" kick drum case ... and then i have this huge case that carries all my hardware!..(amongst other stuff) Although i may just get a stripped out supra N/a just to race you!!

Lee_e Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I know i will probably get abused for this but what about an vauxhall astra gsi turbo ? hatchback. used to be a drummer and fitted all my kit and a cab inside , also has plenty of poke at just under 200 bhp. worth a look , i think there very nice looking cars , but its no supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My drummer has a 1997 Astra, and his kit is rather large. I have a '97 Astra 1.7Tdi (for my bass gear etc, see my garage etc) I paid £700 just over 2 years ago for it. It does all the gigs brilliantly. By chance we both have the maroony colour, so it's a bit sad when the rhythm section turn up together in these purple astras - still, it's a great car.

Firestorm - here are some other suggestions: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1258964.htm This is much more under your budget & will leave you a lot of pennies for your kit! More sensible, though the engine is pretty nippy! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1257599.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I got Jane a Stagea (Skyline estate) a while ago, and it's vast inside, more room than my V90 Volvo estate. It's totally stock, but still goes well, has been 100% reliable and was cheap to buy. They can be tuned from mild to wild if you want. Hers is an auto as we both prefer them. Don't pay too much for one, some are advertised at daft money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Stagea An RS4 (auto) with RB25DET for 2 or 3 grand or a (manual) Autech RS260 with RB26DETT for about 10K. Volvo T5R/V70R/960 turbo and a few mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Volvo V70-R (you won't stop grinning and can be easily remapped to 310/350= bhp whih makes them simply absurd) SAAB 9-5 Hot Aero (impressive but rolly poly chassis) BMW 330i/540i Toruing (nice to drive with respectable performance) Audi A4 2.5TDI (great car and impressive especially after a remap) Audi S4 Avant (bit slow unless its remapped) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
