boombastictiger Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Heres an Idea...Pick up a standard 350z for say £12k..........then by a TT Supra for around 5-6k...then spend 5k upgrading the supra... total could come out around 25k.....you would have 2 great cars...one more for posing and style and the other for well out and out performance... its just an idea though...if I had 25k to spend on cars I would do something like that...I would not be able to put down 25k on 1 car unless it was something unbelivabl special which does not exist I dont think...

TrevS Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have considered the 2 car option but then you also need to consider space, running costs etc. 2 lots of insurance, tax MOT and servicing isn't cheap and room in London is another issue. I am planning to keep what ever I get securely parked in a garage but I don't know many people with a nice double garage down here. So what I want is the happy medium between track day supercar that is still useable as a road car. A porsche sounds like a good idea but just seems to lack the drama I am looking for. If i was thinking with my heart then I'd get a TVR. They have everything I want apart from reliability. So I need to find something with the drama and wild looks of a TVR with the reliabilty of a Japanese hatchback. This makes me think it will either be a Noble M12 (need to do some research on these to see about servicing and what they are like as a daily car) or a Lotus Exige. I know a couple of people on here have been saying about the S1's being unreliable and having issues but theres one thing you need to remember. The Exige S2's have toyota engines and from what the lotus owners club have told me they are pretty damn good. Here are a couple of pics of a great looking Noble on pistonheads at the moment which is within budget. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/images/155977-1.jpg http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/images/155977-2.jpg Also heres a reminder of what the exgie looks like. I think you'll agree that in either white or black these cars look stunning. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/images/157628-1.jpg So if it was your money which would you go for.

dangerous brain Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I take it you aren't too tall then? I wouldn't like to be 6 foot and getting in and out of that exige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thats the one concern at the moment as i am 6ft 2. But again i am told by other exige owners that its not a problem. I think its because they are taller than the elise probably to allow the extra room for crash helmets. Also I saw the 2 clarkson reviews on the exige and the exige S. He moaned about getting in and out but not the headroom so i think it will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
