The RamRunner looks great, but I'm not into off road racing. My Tacoma's wheelbase is too long for serious off roading. I have added Posi Trac so now it's on the front and rear, when it's in four wheel drive. It's a comfortable ride and handles really well on the snow and ice that we get a lot of here in Northern Virginia.
I've had it since 2006 and never had any issues with it. (it's getting up in miles though)

Don't make Ramrunner kits anymore. Last kit made was for 2012. Now Ram has released a Ram "Rebel" model. It's supposed to replace that Runner but in all honesty in comparison it looks far uglier... Most people are opting to get the 2012 Runner over the new Rebel.

I know. Hence why I said it'd cost quite a bit as they seem pretty hard to come by (atleast from what I can find on the web.

OK cool, glad I made the right choice.

Good advice. It's got problems with the oil and water mixed. Whatever the reason, it can't be good and will need repair.

You can?
They look nice - that's all I can contribute
Are you ok to be insured on those engines - seem quite large?

Not as bad as you'd think. FWD cars seem to be less costly insurance wise for me. I guess its also now down to me driving for a couple of years with no points or incidents. I'm mostly window shopping for the time being.
-edit- this is the car I found that is in budget. Its not got the top of the range engine, so that probably explains the insurance not being too bad. Also helps I don't drive much I guess.

Alfa Romeo Brera. Thoughts? They're pretty reasonably priced now and you can get one with FSH, a decent specification and lowish miles for around £5K...
I love the look of them but i've no idea what the reliability / maintenance is like on them.
In other news im currently looking at a 206 xsi as an upgrade. My younger brother is 17 in april and he seems keen on having my car so seeing as we know what has been done to it i'd rather him have that.

It's a great looking car. How does it drive?

Got the bimmer back, drives so nice 
John said it was too low for his liking, took him half hour to get it on a ramp, he says he doesn't struggle getting the Viper on there as much as he struggled with mine....mission accomplished!
The E92 i was going to look at on the weekend sold yesterday, seems they'll finance anyone these days, 19 year old, first car, so ill probably see it written off soon

Chances are that wasn't finance then. Probably a drug dealer or a rich kid.

Nope it was finance, i asked the sales guy, £4500 deposit, £645 per month! Waste of money for a child!
Hate to see his insurance, don't really care if it was a rich kid, drug dealers pay cash just so you know
Should be a law saying you need 5 years driving experience before you're allowed a RWD Sports Saloon.
