Where would you sooner put your 20k ???
Into a Ferrari Mondial t or a Porsche 911 Turbo ?
Or would you go for a modern reliable performance car like a V6 Clio Mk2 or
VX220 Turbo

I would'nt put £50 into a Mondial, another Ferrari yes, make sure the Porsche has a bloody good warrantee, and the V6 Clio is much too heavy at 1400kgs. As long as you have'nt got a bad back (yet) then go for the VX 220 turbo. IMO of course. John
Hi Simon,
given your profile and the title of this thread, you already know that if you buy anything other than a Ferrari or Porker you're going to be dissapointed and kicking yourself for not 'going for it'!
I am 100% biased, but I think in your heart you are too
So, if I was you I'd be looking at a 308/328 GTS for c.£20k. Buy privately after making sure the car has a thorough PPI (I can recomend people locally if you want to mail me). And then enjoy the summer months in a open top Ferrari!!!
Just so you know I ran a Mondial QV, although it was a great reliable car, given my time again I would of spent a bit more and gone for a 308 GTS.
Mail me directly if you think I can help in anyway

You'll be very lucky to find a 328 worth having at £20k - that's definitely more 308 territory.
yep, it's going to be a 308 GTB/S i
ie totally strangled by the introduction of fuel injection for emissions reasons...200odd bhp so pretty slow (7.5 - 8.5 to 60?) but still it's a beautiful car...you might get a reasonable left hooker for that cash with a nicer setup for example the QV (240bhp) or the early carb models (255bhp but a bugger to maintain yourself).
I know of people who've managed to purchase LHD 348's in very nice nick for 20k
328's will cost more than that IMHO
i'd go for a tuscan for 16k and keep the 4k for maintenance...or a VX220 turbo

Thanks Guys - will take all this on board.
I think I'm gonna hold out for a bit and save some serious dosh !
My heart is in a 355 - I could waste tens of thousands of pounds running
something that isn't perfect when I could save abit and buy the real deal !!!

When my 355 comes back out of the garage i will take you for a spin in it, and convince you that you want to buy it.
I've driven loads through where I work and one of the guys who I work
with owns one - They're just so perfect. I was gonna raid all my bank
accounts and borrow abit to buy one this year but a good house came up
so I had to buy it !!!
If you took me for a spin it would probably make me cry !!!

Im a big car lover of all shapes and sizes.
I ended up buying a 911 cause it ticked every box without having to give up my entire life to run the thing:
1. Low depreciation
2. Fast
3. Reliable
4. Luxury
5. Good Looking
5. 4 seats
Ive spanked it every time I have driven it over the last year or so, and other than the expected maintenace issues, its been a good motor.
The only problem with it.....I want something even faster now!
