I have an itch for a fun summer car, I started looking at a cheap mgf, which lead onto an mgb gt, which lead onto a lotus elan m100 (and not so cheap lol) looking at uk cars to drive over here in the summer then either take back to the uk and sell / store or get swiss registered.

Now the dilema, we already have 2 cars here, I have nowhere to park it here, so would hack off my neighbours using one of the visitor spaces, I should really keep the money in the bank for a rainy day

so what should I do??

Would your neighbours be interested in buying a share in a fun car?

Good car as the Elan is, I'd be tempted to get an S1 Else for rwd fun if you are just using it for the summer. I reckon you could get one and run it for the summer and sell it again without losing too much on it. I guess driving it to and from the UK may not ne the most comfy journey you ever make though!

Have a look on homegate for a local garage or parking space. I have 4 spaces now, two indoors and two outdoor. The underground parking space costs me around CHF100 / month which isn't too bad.
