Unsure what to do, suggestions required
Discussion
I need a bit of direction with a decision I'm thinking of making over my current cars.
I currently own a 2006 f430 F1 and a Mercedes C63 saloon. The Ferrari is owned outright and the c63 is on a two year PCP.
Problem I am having is that I'm not really driving the fez, main reasons are that I don't really don't have a reason to drive it. I commute in the c63 to work and couldn't do that In the Ferrari, my girlfriend refuses to sit in the Ferrari as she hates the attention. The Ferrari is currently kept at my parents in their garage as we just bought a new place but the garage is converted into a office/gym which I'd like to keep which means I can't even sit in the garage and appreciate it. I find myself taking it out every few months and driving round with little reason to do so, which in turn also makes adding mileage onto the it pointless and costly (currently on 14900miles).
The C63 was purchased in 2013 and has 7 months left on the PCP, for my settlement figure I could get out of it for about 2k thrown in. I guess I could just sell the F430 and keep driving the c63 as its hardly boring but I'm now starting to wonder if there is a middle option of something that is special, I can use everyday and that will be able to replace both? I'd loose the finance payment on the Merc which, while its not an issue £800 a month would pay for something.
If I used the Ferrari money only (early 70s) my thoughts are as follows -
V10 or V8 R8 Spyder convertible
911 GT3 (not sure which Id get for the money)
Cant really think of anything else. Reason for the convertible rather than the coupe on the R8 is that it may make it feel slightly less boring! I'm 28 and could pull it off without looking too much like a pray I think!
Thoughts and suggestions?

Perhaps I should change her. Hmm.
Thanks for the heads up on the 997t. Ill have a dig around now.
I do enjoy driving the Ferrari but (in a slightly sad way) I struggle to find things to do with it, there is only so many times you can drive to Coffee, pretend to read the papers then drive past the nice houses in Knutsford LOL.
