Ok I am continuing my trend of chewing up cars at a rapid rate. I am currently running a 2003 BMW M3 and I love it to bits. At my current rate I will have put 30K on it by next April and my leasing company advised me to get out at around 45K which is only 18K miles away

So my question is assuming I went back to buying new again and something interesting with a lead time what would you go for assuming a budget of £25 - 38k (absolute max).

I have done the Subaru WRX, Boxster and M3 routes so what else would offer the same thrills, because I am short on ideas.

Nice, but it is a left hooker. I should have said Right Hand Drive and readily available in the UK.

How about a Monaro.The 6.0 is at the top of your budget but would certainly offer thrills and be a bit different from the norm. *edited due to poor spelling*

For that money, if I had to get a new car, I think it would have to be one of Blackpool / Russia's finest

Well it is interesting what you say about Blackpool's finest. I wanted a TVR last March and chickened out.

I have been thinking about one a little more, indeed I was speaking with my leasing company about it this morning

30,000 miles by April 2006, on a 2003 car? Is that 10,000 per annum? Does that mean that 45,000 will come up in October 2007?

(Nothing like planning ahead )

(PS I'm crap at sums )
