Hey look, another what car thread

[Shaoxter]

I'm putting my E36 M3 away for hibernation for the winter (and probably beyond) so somehow have the urge to get another car.

Requirements are:
- Just a weekend/fun car, not a daily driver
- Budget is flexible, will look at anything from £2k to £20k. Depreciation (lack of) is more important.
- Won't be ruinous or need a warranty to run
- Nothing new and boring
- Preferably won't need a garage space which will cost me £800 a year to rent (read: Caterfields or soft tops which are difficult to keep clean if left outside)

Currently I'm thinking 987 Cayman, 996/997 C2 (is the Porsche itch worth scratching?), some AMG Merc (may not satisfy the ruinous requirement), Clio V6 (is it quick enough?), VX220/Turbo, 90s Japanese Playstation generation cars (R32/33/34 GTR, Supra, RX-7 etc.)

I'm all ears for exciting ideas!

Definitely a Caterham. Maybe with a car cover?

Car cover is a good idea, but may be a bit of a hassle as it won't be parked right outside my place either.

What is important to you ?

Speed
noise
experience

if you say all three then it's gonna have to be a tvr ?

Speed is less important, noise and experience definitely.

But would a TVR spend half its time with a garage?

A proper limited edition such as TME Evo or P1 Impreza?

Think I'd prefer more of an out-and-out sports car. Useful as it may be to have one in winter, I'm not entirely sold on 4WD!

What's the consensus of Boys Toys Ltd? They seem to have some tasty cars but very little information on their website.
