Any how my money tree is ready to fruit in the next year or so and my thoughts are I would love to start doing tours and organizing and sorting routes and places to stay great roads and meet more great people like we do here on S2K, been a member for quite some time and miss the banter and people. Work and where we live have also got in the way some what..

Have you driven both? Both are super cool. Do you have roads that you could actually do anything in the McLaren?

Yes down in the south West we do have the roads but I do think the Alfa will be the better car for me cost wise any how .

Plus you'd be able to get on it more than the McLaren. Not much fun driving a car you can only go full throttle for a couple of seconds. Running cost and purchase price are much lower on the Alfa; so keeping it in top form would be easier. I would go for the Spyder over the coupe big time. They seem to keep their value better too.

You should consider a Lotus Evora 400. It's 90% the McLaren for less than half the price.

Under $100k the only cars that would do it for me is: gen V Viper, Evora 400, 997 gt3. Not in love with the 4C. Rather get an exige.

the McLaren is substantially more money. If your willing to spend that, go for it. But there’s a ton of cars in that price range to consider.

I think Lee was looking into the lotus as he had the lotus 111 Elise which he moved from the S2000 to some years ago he loves it.
Probably need to test drive a few cars The little Alfa I think looks fantastic Not seen a Evora in the flesh Exige is stunning.
The Mc to me is stunning to look at never driver or even sat in also the same story with the Alfa or lotus. so looking forward to the experiences.

If you're not blown away after driving the Evora 400, the 4C is not going to cut it; trust me. Then again, would McLaren be enough at that point? Evora 400 is best driver's car for the money on the market. In the flesh it's a stunning looking. If the trunk was larger, I'd already have a 400 in the garage.
