There's a load of car here and lots of change too! (Oh and two too many seats)

Well he went for a low mileage, black, ltd edition 350Z.

He had a good look through the this thread and was interested by responses.

I'm looking forward to seeing the beast next week at work.

Not a bad choice really. Though its been around a while now and I think its due for an update if not already, I'm abit out of touch with modern stuff.

Not a bad choice - one that was also on my 'wish' list - only problem is the titchy boot which is made smaller by the strut brace in the middle

But a lovely drive - a mate and I gave a Hertz one a 'work out' over a long weekend in California

Hope he enjoys many miles with it.

I'm surprised how rarely consideration of a well sorted 964 comes up in cases like this.

I acquired mine almost by accident, and not with a lot of enthusiasm originally, but have become a real convert. In five years it has cost me two valve adjustments and a fair bit of oil (very little of it through leakage), but has given me loads more pleasure driving than I ever thought possible.

I'd take a 964 ahead of a 996 any day. In terms running costs only, though, I can certainly see justification in a Boxter. Just that I don't want one.

Have a great break Jason - after this year you deserve it

It's a 3 series so not exactly huge - you'd get three in the back, but not for long journeys

Thanks having a brilliant time mate!

Do you know any decent commercial bankers still doing property development finance? Found a house I want to do up for sale but is at auction in one month...
