I think I want a Spyker!
Discussion
I've been pondering a change of direction in car buying but I've never really settled on anything, until now.
I've done the Ferrari / Lambo thing and something has been niggling away at me for a while, a feeling that all the obsession with speed and lap times is somehow irrelevant to using your car on the road.
I've thought about more GT stuff like F612 or Aston, even Bentley, but they just don't excite me for some reason. I've even though about ditching the whole fast car thing and going for luxury, Flying Spur or Range Rover even, but I just know I'd be bored within days.
Now in a strange moemnt of clarity I think I really like Spykers!
I know they are not the fastest but they are fast enough, and that's the whole point, they have style!
Or do I need to go and lie down in a darkened room?

There isnt one angle that I think that car looks good from.
Its rare and apparently very well build but they are the only plus points I can think of.
But hen I just can't get my head round the looks of Pagani, to me they look just wrong from every angle.

I understand where your coming from, however I think there must be something other than fugly spykers to satisfy your itch!
I think they look great!But open to ideas, any suggestions?

I was also going to suggest the Weismann, it's an awesome looking car and being mainly BMW running gear, I would imagine servicing/reliability wouldn't be an issue.
I believe they are fantasticly engineered but the looks just don't do it for me at all.Sorry.
The Morgan hasn't got quite the sense of occasion of the Spyker to me, but then it is half the price and I do like the looks.

Hi there,
No its still the Spyker for me, although a Morgan Aeromax is tempting.

I have to say, the back window arrangement there does look rather like a dogs breakfast, Jesus, I hope thats somewhat better resolved now?No its still the Spyker for me, although a Morgan Aeromax is tempting.
