Thinking I could do with a slightly more "friendly" car to add to the garage. The turbo has been modified to a light weight BHP monster, and is no longer so good for transporting me and misses away at weekend.

So looking for a different car to add to the stable, needs to be quick, and flash with real sense of occasion. Any make and model considered up to 100k.

Adam, for this car i'm thinking something different to Porsche. I know the porsche will start every time, and if I blow it up I know exactly how much it will cost to fix (so this car will be a bit of a queen and milage will be stuck on the turbo). So, currently looking at late 360 spiders in black and Gallardos in any colour that's ever so slighly bling...

Patrick, not sure I could do the merc thing but will look at the Aston.

Not sure i'm ready for 4 doors....

Hmmm, second hand E60 M5 and a Mk1 GT3 CS in speed yellow (sorry, porsche i know...)

Thats what i would spend a 100k on smilesmile

But on the lambo vein, what about a late model diablo which has been audified, like the VT? That would be a scream...and i would think you could easily have change from 100k for the servicing...

tough choice!

...currently checking I can get a diablo in the garage (with the doors open obviously). But if I can I think I might just do that...

...of course the other problem I have is that my garage entrance is via a dropped curbed path, which is also a single yellow. Frequently I have to attend with retards and disabled drivers who don't realise you can't park in front of a dropped curb even though it is a single yellow. In the Porsche I can do a 30 point turn and just drive down the walkway. No way I could do that in a Diablo. Oh, and the council don't give a shit despite the amount of Ken tax I pay.

Hmmm perhaps an old landie defender and the diablo, then if some half wit parks there blocking you in, you can tow them away evilsmile

Good to see the 'credit crunch' isn't taking effect at the top yetwink

I'd be having a Murcielago as a £100k garage queen.

I thought about a TT tip convertible for a while, then I reached down and checked my knackers. But seriously, a TT X50 would be a very sensible choice, but i'd have no option but to modify it, which I really need to stop doing. There would be no way i'd tinker with any of the Italian stuff, just wouldn't trust it.

Had a look over one at Donnington the other week (whilst watching Richard C. win the Porsche open race with 1 gear...) Really did absolutely nothing for me. Actually came across as desperate.

I didn't think you'd get a good Lambo for your budget - that's got to be worth a look.

Please come and see me in it if you buy one :-)

GuyR has a lovely black Gallardo for sale.

Or maybe a DB9? There are loads of convertible ones for under 100K.
