Hi all
I need some help with choosing a new weekend toy. I have around 4k to spend. Economy isnt to major a factor although scoobys and Evos are out as I have been down that before looking for a change.



All suggestions welcome
Thanks

Porsche 928? Probably get a decent S2, possibly an S4 for that money. They're not as bad to run as people would have you believe, reliable, well built, sublime cruiser! If you want something lighter how about a 944?

+1 for a 944. It's a buyers market right now so you should even find a decent Turbo for your budget

What a beauty, so rare to see one that's not had the guts ripped out to put in a 205. Apparently that engine was the basis of the one in the 206 WRC car (according to wiki).
