If you have never had one, an air cooled 911. It is something every true petrolhead should own at least once and is the one car that I truly should never have sold.

Got to be a 911...but I am biased!! biggrin

If you can find a sorted, and I mean engine warranty or a rebuilt engine with warranty sorted T350 for the money then why not.....I considered a T350 after my Chimaera but decided on the 911 in the end, it just had to be done!

Has anyone ever seen a Supra turbo powered S2000 in the UK?


The trouble i have is that i feel like i need to try everything, to find the 'best' car.
Think this is why I have owned many many 'fun' cars and I am only 24.

Exige from that list or if you want something marginally more practical get a Z4M. I've just sold mine (due to pregnant wife) and it causes me physical pain even to think about it. VERY VERY special car.

I like the sound of the z4 but not a massive fan of pram-tops.

You could always throw a bid on mine, thinking of a change, still pork mind. And you would have plenty of change left out of your budget wink

Whaaaat!! You're not getting rid after all the tlc you've given that car are you? Remember Burriana is still regretting selling his 3.2 or are you upgrading?

Deffo staying with Porsche Ron, though I hope I don't regret it like Al did. It may not sell and it isn't advertised anywhere. Just being speculative smile

The ragtop is the best I've ever seen. When your inside you'd never know it was a softop. Coupe is a future classic but you pay more for them. You can pick up cars still under warranty for about 20k. They make a nice noise too.
