Hello everyone

I’m selling my second car which is my daily. I need a replacement and I’m looking to spent no more than £6000-£6500

I’ve been looking none stop the past 3 days and I just can’t find something.

I want

Hatchback,coupe but can be flexible if it cool
The year - 2009 or below
Manual
Reliable or easy to work on as I will be using it daily
Petrol (diesel isn’t the end of the world)
I would prefer a turbo but I’ve always opted for looks so naturally aspirated will also do.
Again speed I’m not bothered about but I do enjoy putting my foot down and feeling a response my current daily is 150BHP I would like more but under 200bhp will still do me fine.
Bonus points if it’s a headturner

I am going to sleep now but if I get any responses I’ll read them when I wake up. My second car is a Honda Accord Type R & ever since i got it I’ve fell in love with Hondas. Been thinking about a civic type r? Again tho I’m very much stuck making a decision

Thank you

I didn’t even know they were going to discontinue it. I remember buying my last can and drinking it instead of savouring it. Why do things leave us? <\3

For me it has to be American Pie, a classic and I piss myself laughing everytime Jim’s dad talks to him.

These are closely followed by office space, Next Friday, The 1st inbetweeners film & honours to the infamous THE CAT IN THE HAT

Please give me suggestions though, I’m in the mood to watch an early 2000s comedy

I just need to share this as this is officially the first time I’ve got home and sat in my car feeling worse than shit.

Basically I made a mistake but it was one of those mistakes that will stick with me for a long time.

I went to do a casual overtake issue being it was a bus so I gave myself as much of a view as possible, when I was 100% sure it was safe I pulled out and floored it. A van looking to do the same closed my gap behind the bus & at this point my heart sunk. A car I genuinely did not see before I pulled out was barrelling it towards me at 60+mph.

I was near the back of the bus at this point & I would have happily slowed and went back behind but like I said my spot was taken. I have never clenched my arse so hard before & I put my foot down.

Luckily & obviously I made it, I don’t think the other car had to break but another 2 seconds it was game over for the both of us.

I honestly have never felt so stupid and I’m aware people make mistakes but I’m 9/10 a safe driver the -1 being this occasion.

That’s my little story I just had to get it off my chest.

Yes I’m an idiot it was an honest mistake but a pretty big one & I wouldn’t feel bad if my actions only affected me but I hope the other driver was okay I don’t doubt he called me everything under the sun 😂

Please feel free to share any traumatic driving stories I can’t lie I do need assurance I think I’m having a mini panic attack lol
