I honestly dont know what I fancy next, I have a "short" list of about 8 cars
rolleyes

but tbh I am in no real rush, have been looking to replace the T5 for over A year now (just for something a bit newer) but nothing really jumps out

I enjoy owning the big old swede, and she can hustle along at a fair rate

so no real rush

I currently want a Mk2 Golf GTi or a Corrado as a run around for non-VX days.

After the VX I would love an E46 CSL or TVR 350 maybe...

But would you be able to handle the attention you would receive, our spotted section would go haywire!

Maybe an e92 335i or M3.

If I keep the 330 long enough (and not get too bored) and save hard I'd love an Aston V8 Vantage.

I need a new toy, I've got a Mini Cooper S at the moment that I bought for the misses to learn to drive, but she hasn't really shown a great deal of interest, so it's going to have to go for a new toy for me!! I get to drive a new Merc on a day to day basis, so only need a weekend car.

Been thinking of:

S2 Exige S - already had an Elise I didn't use a great deal, so not sure.
M3 CSL - Might feel a bit too 'normal' to be a weekend toy.
Porshe Cayman S - These look really cheap at the moment, and would be good for a European jaunt in the summer.
Aston V8 Vantage - Top end of my budget, but the noise!!!! cloud9
Porsche 996 Turbo - Outstanding value for money, but the running costs worry me slightly, they also feel a bit dated inside.

I know it's boring, but I also don't want to lose my shirt on something, so ideally looking for something at the bottom or there abouts of it's depreciation curve. Decisions, decisions....

SadlerJ - Sounds like you ought to be buying a Ferrari 550 to me - probably the best value 200+ mph car on the market and just so pretty. A good long term hold IMO, I'd be amazed within 2-5 of years if you couldn't turn a sensible profit on it.

Nar...drove one once...did not like it...a big big and lazy for my liking, also only has 2 seats..my V8 Vantage is much more fun...and much more pretty...more interested in motoring perfection than profit...

I'm really struggling to think of where to go from a V8V...The obvious choices are a no go which doesn't leave much left to choose from. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! scratchchin
