Hypothetical "next car" question...
Discussion
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about selling the 911 (again!) and getting something else - an occasional use car, suitable for our various breakfast runs, weekend trips, the odd european jaunt, and so on. As some of you know i have been thinking along the lines of Gallardo (more money than i'd like to spend really), Morgan Aero 8 (resale?), Ultima (too raw for long trips), Cobra (sunny days only), etc.
Good for long trips, reliable, good performance, not going to depreciate like a stone, not too heavy... so given a theoretical spend of up to £45k what could i get?
1. 911 GT3
2. Morgan Aero 8
3. BMW M coupé
4. Another Chimaera
5. AMG CLK55
6. SL500 (old shape)
7.

Fancy a reliable blue one Pete?
Not too keen on the Z4 M coupé, think i'd go for the cab version.
Wanted a 550 until a drove one John - big anti-climax, my favourite recent Fezza (i.e. post F40). Same day i drove a 348 and 355, again bitterly disappointed.
Anyone got any weird and wonderful suggestions? I'd love to have bought a Marcos TSO but i'm guessing very few (if any) were made?

Older RS4 too understeery, newer one is bad value compared to RS6.
Hmmm, RS6... one car to do it all...
Bit lardy and not the same kind of beastie as the new RS4 in my humble opinion.Hmmm, RS6... one car to do it all...
M5... they must be getting down there, how about M6 (again an assumption)... Vantage, shouldn't have the same gastly costs as the lambo (doubt it would meet the budget though).

I definatly like the idea of the V10 M5/M6, especially since prices have dropped.
I doubt the new S5 is really your cup of tea either? (I would much rather have the RS4 myself)
How about this random number? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/316379.htm
