You've got £25k to buy a car

Re:

Don't worry about spending money on other stuff, you can have infinite monies for that! Must admit my usual car budget usually tops out at £1k

Always a big fan of large saloons. S-Class, CX...and always fancied one of these SO CHEAP!

968 with under 75k miles for £22k - https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... 93/7386893

or even cheaper, a 55k S2 at £19k - https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... ty/7039507

Running a 924S I can vouch for the practicability of the design - can take a bike in the back/go camping/shop till you drop in them. For a design dating back to 1976, it was clearly ahead of the curve.

Don't care as long as it has that V8 grumble, yes I really am that shallow - but what a great soundtrack for your life.

That's a fun web-site. I think I'm more a https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... id=1&pid=1 fan, than a sports car fan.

I'd buy a cheap rot free MX5 from Japan and spend the change making it look like this -

Re:

Still looks like an MX5!

Does it come with a "No hair care products left in this vehicle overnight." sticker?

Re:

Ouch!

My cousin bought a Vauxhall Tigra.

I, at the time, advised her to get a Boxster second hand.

Lost over ten grand, even considering servicing costs, etc...

You can't beat a quality classic.

Most likely followed by repeated cycles of disassembly and reassembly.
