True, i suppose the caterham is similar to your cerbera with regards to driving as its only used in summer/ track days by my father, brother and I. The Audi is for her indoors and the celica is mine for official use Although personally i would find it very hard to take the boxter for convertible driving when the cerbera is sitting there. If i were you the boxter would get used on rainy days, the jag in winter, and the tvr for everything else and you would be doing the world a favour by using it so often so we can listen

Do what we did -- replace Cerbera with ex-Demo M5 and a Caterham.

Sorted. Reliable. Bonkers.

Is that a 98 jag? And what did it cost?

[lestershaw]

Yes a 98, £3750

Why ? Do you want im finished with it :-)

I can't afford to do what you did

I'm going to keep two of them, not sure which two yet though

Ah cool. 3 car family with a TVR, perfect!

[lestershaw]

Edo, you still have it wrong, i know its an extravagance but i have 5 cars :-) i also have a mitsubishi delica and a smart car for work. and im single they are all insured in my name only! although i do have a girlfriend she has a vrs skoda estate.
something has to go soon :-)

Having only hastily read through the previous posts. Forgive me if you have no desire or need for something that is not only fun, but also practical, will sit 4 adults and should, if maintained properly not depreciate.

If however a 'fully rounded' car has a place in your garage, may I suggest a nice
E34 M5 3.8litre?

Or if you want most of the above (apart from depreciation proof motoring) but with more GO. Then how about an e39 M5?

[lestershaw]

Richard, why do you suggest a bmw when you have a jag?

I would highly recommend a Jag.... But didn't think it would be your thing going by your original post. It's my 3rd XJ and it's up for sale only so I can replace with an older Series III

But I do have a BMW Motorsport Edition E30 Convertible and a 3 series Estate so I'm not anti the marque :-)

[lestershaw]

ive had lots of jags too, xj12s, daimler double sixs, couple of e types, a couple of xjs. also had a couple of 850i bms and a 635 and 325 as well so i like them both, never fancied a porsche but this one fell in my lap a bit. but already i think the boxster is a bit too antiseptic and the other two more of a cermony and a treat

Sorry bit of a meaningless post, but I briefly had a series three XJ12, fabulous motor if you're a Jag fan. SIII is my favuorite body shape, think they're a stunning design, and the V12 is the tits. Terrible shame they rust badly and cost a fortune to run......

My X308 is for sale so that i can replace with a Series III. would quite like to find a Daimler Double Six version though (Either way it has to be a late one in Solent Blue with Doeskin hide).

[lestershaw]

i had a lovely white daimler double six with white leather interior, i had it for a while but somebody had welded the seams and it was very rusty :-(
i have my favourite colour jag now, black leather in a black car , fantastic :-)
