This weeks Autocar

[olly]

Has a supplement called "Your First Supercar"

There are the usuals : NSX, V8 Esprit, 911 Turbo, Ferrari 550, Diablo & our old favourite the Cerbera - "Why buy one ? You'll want a Cerbera if you don't care what anyone thinks when your V8 fractures their double-glazing, you don't care that a wet roundabout is a potential launch pad and you don't care that you will sometimes break down. A 911 is a cop-out by comparison and you won't care if everyone knows that you've paid a fraction of the cost of the Porsche either"

Made me smile

Me too! And how about the "Sting in the tail" article on the last page, poor chap with the Porker Turbo! and I thought they were the reliable option

In all honesty, I don't think £1.25 a mile is that bad for a car that would have cost £85k? when it was new....

I dream of £1.25 a mile, I'm pretty sure this week's ohlins & 12k service are going to get me to over £2.50 per mile

Not sure what my last cerb cost me per mile.
Assume 20 mpg at £4 a gallon ish. Plus £13K in repairs and servicing. About 11K miles. Plus insurance for 2 yrs , plus depreciation - I got to £1.80 per mile !!!
