The sport 350 was quality. I am still undecided as to get an Esprit or S1 Exige. Always loved the Esprit but the service costs and general upkeep will be too much I think.

I have to agree with what all the V8 owners said, i.e. the 4 pot is fast but the V8 is in a different league. Having gone from an S3 N/A to an 89 Turbo to a 97GT3 to a 99 Sport350, the Sport 350 just pushes you down the road like a train.

Moles, if you have a look at my site, www.adrianmugridge.co.uk you'll find my running costs for my GT3. Bank on about £3k a year if you have someone work on the car for you. I've only had my Sport350 6 weeks so I've not done a similar page for it yet.

The guy with the bronze V8, Mike Bews is in my local club. The car finished 3rd in one of the Gumball's with Jason Priestly at the wheel. I think Mike also has a set of Top Trump Supercars and his Esprit is featured on one of cards as well.

Couldnt believe that Kato bloke had fitted Neons to his car. Made it look sad IMO
