That itch to try something else is starting again. I think I may need to see someone about it...

So they question is, in a few months, where can I go next which wont feel "lacking" after the M6.

One small limiting factor is that it must be no older than 4 years old for me to have a company fuel card on it.

Practicality is of no concern with a frugal derv saloon and a 4x4 in the garage, and as you can probably guess fuel isnt too much of one either (no worse would be good - cant see that being hard).

Top spend, £30k.

The other thought tempting me is some silly cheap lease deals at the moment - so bank the money and lease for a bit..

Suggestions welcomed.

Having just been for a spin, the V10 is going to take some beating. A better gearbox would be a plus though..

£30 large, no older than 4 years, and not disappointing after an M6? Challenging.


2008 XKR £30.5k




2009 Mustang £30k


2010 Cobra rep £30k (probably safest for depreciation)



Also, might just about get a <4 year Corvette C6 for that money. Maybe. I didn't find one though.

Ah...that'll be those suggestions written off then... frown


EDIT :

Not sure about warranty but surely worth a look:

2009 Boxster S PDK £30k



Whereas this does have warranty available:

2009 Camaro £28k

Some good suggestions, ta.

Did see a supercharged XKR. Anyone on here own one?

This one looked a lot of car for the money.

Probably parked at the golf club by some fat old has-been. Please, just don't go there.
