Daydreaming :cloud9:

[Diablos-666]

Just wishful thinking but...

If you had £40k to spend, within the next year, on a special car which of these would you choose:

Sagaris
Ferrari 360
Aston Martin Vanquish
996 GT2/GT3


Which would be the more expensive in terms of running costs?

Fuel doesn't matter as it would be a weekend car so probably no more that 3k miles pa.

Over to you my PH beauties...

All very tempting choices, but I think I'd end up walking away with the TVR at the end of the day.
I've been in love with the absolutely bonkers styling of the Sagaris ever since I first laid eyes on one

Caterham R500.

Oh, wait...

No, still Caterham R500.

edit:

Or an MX-5

Sag or 360 for me. Probably Sag - newer car, smaller, potentially more fun!

MX-5



You obviously haven't read Chris Harris' review yet.

I suppose this isn't just a random daydreaming thread.

My mate is looking to buy something special at the end of the year and his budget is £40k so just got me thinking really.

He likes the Sag but I think he wants the "right" badge.

He was keen on the 996 GT2 but I just can't face those headlight, literally.

So started having a looking at the options. The Ferrari is a great choice, but I think running costs will scare him off.

How do the others compare?

[FraserLFA]

Aston for sure. The noise those things make is just incredible.

See if I could fine a nice gtr in good condition

[Pints]

If you're going to opt for an Aston, why go with a Vanquish? You can pick up a Vantage for under £40k.

996 GT3 for me please, white with red decals.

If all he wants is the badge, and running costs are an issue, then probably best to stick with a Porker of some description, although possibly not the 'Widowmaker'.

A nice 997 Carrera S should be in budget if the headlights are an issue.

Or a Aston V8 Vantage as it would be newer than the Vanquish for that money.
