Yeah like the business woman bitch in her brand new base spec scirocco (probably on lease) that was 2 cm away from my bumper one a dual carriage way the other day and also mr 1.9TDI A4 whom thought he was driving an RS4.
Cant wait to see their faces when my grandad barge destroys them

You would just need to change the wheels on the aristos for standar gs300 wheels.

spot on mate, good find.
Its even got wood!
gutted i spent 2.4k on a puma 
that volvo remapped would be a weapon
Ive been driving a puma around this week and it has suprised me. A well balanced car with impressive handling/grip and a responsive little engine 
[Edited on 17-07-2010 by SetH]
it goes round corners so well and does move once you rev it...
gd luck with the search. you'll need video's of the smoked victims to put up here so we can laugh

The X-type are. I been looking at quite a few and they all appear to be FWD, with only a few AWD.

Especially if you remove the only badge that gives you a hint I've got a tow bar and I was going to remove it, but not sure now! Definitley debadging though.

what about mitsubishi's legnum ? the japanese version of the subaru legacy
i know this 1's sold just an example am using
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1804342.htm
1) barge/estate
2) sleeperish with its roof rails and wood dash
3) Big displacement, 2.5 V6 twin turbo 4wd 
4) Has leather
5) Although not the newest for the budget but can get them cheaper this is just a low mileage 1
definately arse raping barge my mates bought one whilst he has a project car underway,
is fun to see the look on some sales reps face in his audi A6 S-line as a twin turbo auto estate flys past him with the dump valve tshhh noise as the auto box changes gear as u sit back lazy and comfy

Erm, Subaru is Jap?!
But I know what you mean, Legnum's are cool, but rare enough that people know not to mess with them imo!

volvo T5 or D5
the D5 lump is a 2.4 unless you get a newer one thats 2.5, they are very rapid if you have a remap and will shock quite a few people, good for about 300k miles if looked after and the body work dont normaly rust much unless you get the early 850's
you can get a T6 now but you wont be able to afford that as they are in the 30k catogory..
bit of news tho they are making a XC30 (yes i know pointless) and also a 404bhp c30 so lots of fun there.
but anyway get a 2.5 T5 V70 for 3k and shell out of a TR turbo, wastgate, breaks, and remap and you'll see some fun times

this is definitely a contender if i can find one with impeccable history. You can hear the supercharger in that vid

LMAO love it
I do like the legnum's especially in black.
Also like the legacy GTB but not sure how reliable they would be. I know how relatively fragile the EJ20`s from that generation can be having had 2 classic STi's.
