Your suggestions, thinking etcetera would be appreciated. I need an inexpensive commuter for mainly short runs (25km) to and from the train station. It will be parked streetside near the station.

The eclectic budget selection so far:

Cheap Porsche Boxter
Porsche 944
BMW Z3 1.8/1.9
BMW 520/523/525
BMW 728/740
BMW 323ci
Alfa gtv
S-type
Classic Mini

Any of them, they're all much of a muchness. hehe

What are the roads like?
B road and a wobbly barge or a Motorway full of wagons and classic Mini are not going to be much fun.

Lol and thnx! The motorway/main road surface is immaculate here in the Netherlands. However, I often find myself blatting on twisty (barely any height difference though) B-roads because of congested motorways or simply to blow off the office cobwebs. B-road surface can be tricky and also very slippery in our countryside.
