To fill the garage, what next

[roadman]

So what next.....im selling the 350z and putting in some cash to give me between 10 and 12k

Currently my heart is with a Corvette C3, went to see one the other weekend and thought that it has to be one of the coolest cars around that i could get into

My heart up until then was with TVR and the GF turn around yesterday and said we should look at them as well

So PH im turning to you to provide your criticism, experiences and thoughts

My criteria:

It will be always garaged:

No BMW, MERC, AUDI
Rear wheel drive
2 seats
Not convertible, but t top is ok
Mostly weekend car, unless i take it to work on the occasional Friday in summer
(hopefully V8 so its loud and noisy)
Got to be an event driving it

not at all worried about mpg

I wont be able to drive it until next January hopefully when i get my license back (medical)

However the GF can drive me around in it

Over to you

[ManOpener]

Noble M12 GTO-R?

[J4CKO]

Thats a tough one,

Might get a Cerbera, but damn, has 4 seats

Chim/Griff are convertibles

Caymans dont go that cheap, 911s kind of have 4 seats but you can get a 996 for 12 grand

For 12 grand ?

370 Z ?

[DUMBO100]

Maserati 3200 GT with the boomerang lights £12k should get a nice one

[LeighW]

I'd have said Cerbera or maybe XKR (with 2 spare small seats...)

I do like C3 Vettes though. Simple mechanics and no depreciation either.

[tannedstamina]

Take out the rear seats...?

My mistake, read it as £12k + the 350.

Clio V6

I have done the nissan GT car so wanted to skip over them, although from reading here they are very different from the 350

Cerbera is on my list, not sure about general reliability with the Cerbs, but they do come with a wicked sound track and the interior is very unique.

The bold arches over the front wheels of the Vette make it stand out a lot and they are very argicultural

Great suggestions:

Monaro, great suggestion however there is something about them , just dont see myself driving one
XJR bit to old looking for me, however i saw one pher brought one of these V12s and they loved it, again not for me

Jag Xk, Tha jags are ok, this being the R version is slightly more appealing but the looks are very refined, where as TVR and Vette are ...well.....not

Maserati, its a bit different hadnt thought of that, gf doesnt like

Vette, very red....very red...just very red....but.....on the list it goes


Vette C4 - looks like a wedge of cheese

Ford Thunderbird...now we are talking.....and the look from the GF says thats not happening

Great suggestions nice one

Interior is a bit ropey, otherwise it's a pretty cool car for the bucks and should shovel.
