a few of those cars would require a plan and some cunning and 2 murders and a will.

After having a T350, the Tuscan and Cerbera will feel too old school.

With the exception of the R8, the Audi's will feel too bland.

The Alfa 8c will be a head turner but £110k ???? The spider, don't think I'd like the 4WD.

Out of what's left, Porsche (in GT guise) would be OK, as would the Lotus and if you really wanted another T350, would it not be better to get the Mr Hyde version...

....yeah, Sagaris is what I'd go for.

or as Bob said, a DB9.

or a Diablo.

or a Ferrari 360.

or a .......etc. etc. etc.

A Noble is a great car but no use for day to day travel as it has no carrying space at all.

Another T350 makes sense to me ( see the write up and buyers guide in this months EVO mag).

Failing that, a Sagaris if you can live with the styling.

Do not rule out the Lambo though !

Or another fleet Atom coz we all want to have a go.



Keep off Lotus ( they are only for 'Squids'.)

Keep off Lotus as you need talent to drive them well which is why I have a tvr.

Had a 993 for a year and it was really easy to live with. However, it is not in the same league as some of the other cars in terms of performance (unless TT) and there are some choice upgrades that you will need to ensure it is not too baggy (ie Bilsein suspension). They sound great with an RSR exhaust on. It also takes a long time to get use to the handling. But an M3 CSL afterwards which was much quicker but really borring compared to the porsche in terms of involvement.

If you buy at the right price you will have almost free motoring.

If you decide to go down the 993 give me a shout.

if its a main car would have to be an estate, so tempted to keep 2 cars and it will be a weekend car.

..........Back to the original poster Road Hogg,I noticed last on your list was a Cobra replica! somehow that does not usually compare in a list containing three Audi's.However they are great fun but are 100% a toy.Get a cheap A4 tdi with space ship miles and a Cobra replicayes
