Hi all,

£10,000 - no restrictions whatsoever other than it has to be special and not have astronomical repair bills potentially waiting around the corner (so no mega mileage AMG's etc). Coupes/Roadsters preferred.

Would be a daily drive.

I've looked at 986 Boxsters but they just don't give me 'that feeling' that my current cars do.

Monaro is and has always been a consideration; I love everything about it, though I think I will miss the incredible handling my current cars have.

Lotus Elise S2
I've looked at these a lot recently, I love how the cabin has no luxuries whatsoever - but at the same time I want a nice big engine whilst I'm able to afford spending bucket loads on fuel.

TVR Chimaera
If I was looking for a weekend car, this would be it without question and I wouldn't need to make a thread, but as a daily I don't think I could go for a TVR. Too many what-if's.

As great as the rest are (particularly the M3 and S2K) none of them really excite me.

Even when I've increased the budget to £20,000 (just to see what's out there) I can't find anything that excites me. Dammit.
