Hi there-I am a Bradford boy and seriously considering a DC5. I have not been on for a while now but good to see there may be a few more in the area. I only ever see 1 or 2, but they tend to be Keighley way :P
If I wanted a daily driver that I could use in all weathers and have fun up until 7/8 10ths then I would probably choose an R32. It is built well, it goes well and it sounds good too. If I wanted something with some soul and something that was alive in my hands and grinned my face up every time...
My current new car choices would be DC5 or new JDM CTR, a Renault Megane R26 or a Nissan 350Z-I would love to go RWD Clio MK2 but it has no practicality at all..

R26 Megane is very good-It is on my list of possible cars to purchase in 6 months when I sort my business out. I have driven one and I am a member of the renaultsport forum too. There is from what I read, a massive difference between the build quality of the run of the mill Meaganes and the...
very sad when a pride and joy ends up like this.
Just out of interest did the diff pull you all over the place when it happened or was it all over and done with before you could do anything about it?
I know many taxi drivers who change their oil every 3k regardless. Some of them go on for 200 000 miles on a single engine(mostly Toyota's) -do a few clutches though!!
Once all this is sorted and the money is clear can we make his garage stand out on this forum like a sore thumb.
If he has done this to 3 people with one car, what is the rest of his stock like?
Sorry if Ive missed a similar post?
