well my good friends, the thing is.....
I'm having a quandry.. currently I have the red pasta rocket and also a Jeep Cherokee, very nice, comfy etc etc but getting on a bit. Now using the bike most days for work so not using the red car much and on weekends I need to fit the missus and our son in the car & doing a few long trips now & fancy something a bit more exotic than the Jeep.
So...choices are:
1. Sell Fcar, get a Maser 3200 and keep the Jeep (I know I'll miss roof off motoring though.
2. Sell both, get either..an M5 or a Merc C43 and also something like an early Elise/Chimaera/Porsche 968/Merc SL (Bobby Ewing shape)
3. Sell both, get an Audi RS4 and use bike also.
Thing is, funds a bit tight at moment so dont want to spend a packet, best bid on fcar as a trade in is £27,500 so far (against a Maser 3200).
(all advice gratefully recieved)

No replies to a difficult question craig...The issue seems to be a 4 door car in the fleet,,,,i thought your 348 was a good buy at £30k myself,
I would think the 3200 is probably the most fun,the M5 may cost as much if not more to run.And to my mind is not so "special".
Some of the cars on the list threw me a little...SL W107 I beleive....nice pose not a drivers car at all & RS4 disappointed me a lot when I drove it.
Mas 3200 & Jeep for the 4 doors and can leave it anywhere role..

Bloody hell, Craig, you're beginning to echo my current quandry...Audi, BMW, Jag or something 'leftfield' or just a bit more exotic?
It really is a nightmare: the value on offer for the £25-£35k budget is great but difficult to settle on an exact model.
Given your sporting bias, the Maser 3200GT may be imperfect but for a glorious compromise I feel would give you personally, the best deal.
Hmmm...is a small fridge in the boot on the options list?

If you are going to drink and drive ensure you have a fridge in the boot to keep the beers cool. 
Craig, Evans Halshaw are just up the road from me and they are a Ferrari/Maser dealer, got plenty of either 4200 or 3200s in stock at the moment.

If you see something on their website you like the look of and you want an indie second opinion, give me a shout - I'll be more than happy to have a lunchtime walk up there for you.
Its literally a 2 minute walk.
