Probably not the best time for me to go and get one either then really. Never know though at some point down the line I may get one

I have rushed into car choices before so don't think I'll be making any rash decisions this time.
Astra gsi turbo would be very interesting as would an old cavalier turbo.. Like those too
Id love anything with a let engine mate
Always likes 80s/90s cars whether its Vauxhalls/fords/Rovers I dont know why I didnt buy one lol
maybe one day I'll have to buy a cossie

Yes, older 80/90s turbos are great imo. I would have another montego any day of the week if it was a clean one. Miss mine loads.
Think will be sticking with the zed and just getting a bit more for now to increase its current grin factor
