Yeah, they do look a good laugh. Cant find any beefy ones.

All weedy 1.6, or 1.8s

Damn Winson for selling his, right engine, right price tag :lol:

The 318iS has a 16-valve four-pot instead of an eight-valve in the standard 318i, and has 138bhp. Nothing crazy still, but it's entertaining enough and faster than the six-cylinder 320i. And they were offered with limited-slip diffs as an option, as well as M-tech suspension and a few styling goodies as standard...

Failing that, it's gotta be a 205 XS. Huge fun :D

With an alloy throttle body, de-catted exhaust and a decent airfilter a metro gti should outpace all of those you listed.

You wont get a Metro turbo for £500 unless you're really lucky.

buy 1 with the right mods and it will out accelerate out corner just about anything for the same price

Leaning towards the BMW idea at the minute tbh folks, although for £500 you cant seem to get much for your money. Not much point in looking for speed because nothing will fill the boots of the hybrid for the same money never mind £500.

Was going to be doing a deal with a 205 but the lad backed out :x

Would have been a laugh!
