Is fast and reliable possible for £20k?

Interesting. Like I say, I know a couple of people who have had them and they've either been unlucky or you've been lucky.

How bad is it on fuel on average?

I've man- mathsed myself into viewing a lovely looking F10 M5 at the weekend

That’s how I justified buying a Cayman!

Nice cars, what colour? There's a red one lives near me and I love how it looks, guy keeps it immaculate and has just added springs, spacers and few small touches here and there, it sits lovely on the road.

The only colour I’d want one in. Monte Carlo blue.

Doesn't the old saying apply

"fast, cheap, reliable, you can have any two"

Maybe. The thing is though, I’m not a powerfully built company director so to me, £20k isn’t cheap. There must be some middle ground where all three are possible.

Unfortunately this was a dead end. The car was lovely, front tyres were a bit old and the discs were probably on the verge of needing replacing but nothing which couldn't be sorted and the rest of the car was absolutely perfect.

However, the seller had someone else viewing the car later today and so he was unwilling to let me test drive it unless I agreed to buy it. Something felt a bit off about it all so I walked away.

Now I guess it's just a waiting game to see if another one of a similar spec pops up for me to drive (or something else entirely)
