HELP! What should I buy?

[MCFADDEN]

I need to get a 2nd car that provides a bit of excitement,ideally convertible, seat 4 (Maybe).

I sold a Griffith 500 about 1 year ago as I felt guilty it was used just by me.
Kids wouldn't fit & wife wouldn't drive it as controls too heavy.

This was replaced with a sensible SL500 ( 98 Model) with small rear seats,

The SL while everything you would expect has had its time with me.

Thoughts so far have been

E46 M3 Convertible
or
T350 ( I know 2 seats but excitement )
993 2S

I am tempted to go for a two seater again as I am not sure after the Griff would the M3 Conv feel exciting enough

Mileage is not really an issue budget max 30k

Any thoughts from those in the know!

Merc CLK? Can you get a convertable AMG version?

Hows about an Audi RS4

Cerbera - if you want wind in your hair open the windows

Thanks for the idea's.

Vlad - Yes the CLK 55AMG is one that I noticed in the classified section of a recent Autocar.
Hadn't previously thought of it but I would imagine the power would be entertaining & a bit different to an M3 convertible.

Ticks the 4 seat box & convertible, but would have to compromise with Automatic.

Any CLK AMG owners views?

As an ex Griff owner I hear the Cerbera although brutiful would cost a bomb to maintain.
Heard lots of clutch problems etc.

Those T350's are soo nice though!! em em!
