Offline  | Actually drove a Ford Falcon XR6 while we were in Aus in Dec, bit too barge like. I wont be having another MINI sorry but not convinced by the R56 by a long way, shame really as the factory works could beTHE ideal car for me.......The 335 is on the list as well as the 135.... Black to the future.... |

Online | Merc CLS 55 AMG? 4 door coupe styling - with lots of toys Aston Martin DB7 Vantage - circa 2000/2001 - you just need a good specialist for servicing Cayman S? TVR Sagaris? Supposed to be easier to live with compared to previous TVRs.....  |

Offline  | That sounds like a plan, neil. GP is a screamer, still trying to figure out how to hang onto it for good, and get a slightly more practical car as a daily driver (JCW Clubman) |

Offline | I actually turned down 2 chances to have a new GP at the time, perhaps a mistake. Although back then I really did need the rear seats...  Black to the future.... |

Offline | Ferraris of that vintage and price will cost a small fortune to maintain, although as a daily driver, they are likely to suffer less than a similar car that only does 5k miles a year. Servicing is the big chunk of money, as a belts service can run well into 4 figures. Neil, I'd be tempted by the 335i, 90% of the M3 for 60% of the outlay, even buying new. |

Offline | I absolutely love Ferraris... I really very passionately would love to own one someday - but I can't say that looks particularly likely with my career choice.  Scientists aren't paid particularly well...  * * * * * NeuroBeaker Proud owner of "Zeus" (a 'slightly modified' 2004 Mini ONE). |
