DC2, hmmmm....

What are their prices doing? They have always kept a very high / strong price. I sold mine for more than I paid for it!

Seems a bit more sensible!

A chap with a tweaked one took me out in his once - holy **** do they grip and handle. I couldn't believe the speeds we were doing. Just a few braces, breathing and brake mods.

My standard one was ok, but an arse to drive as a daily car.

Do it.

Do it.

I'm half tempted to jump into a DC2 at the moment, or a Subaru wagon of some sorts.

Well I need to buy another car, and I'm erring on the side of sensibleness more than anything else.

I wanted to get the DC2 for the winter to see if we could live with a DC5 instead of the ATR.

We won't be getting rid of the ATR before 09 I don't think

I've always liked them, had memorable a passenger ride round Angelsey in a heavily modified one but have always passed them over because they're FWD and there's been budget for other things.

It depends if, and how much, they drop.
