only one other car has seriously impressed me in the last year

an Octavia RS of all things

but I don't want one

I suspect I would feel the same about any Boxster

and any Porsche for that matter

bar a collectable or a current food chain topper

You do actually remember owning an S2000 for several years don't you?

Your brain seems to have been swapped with that of a Stuttgart Marketing drone.

I would consider one, but as I said

only a collectable or a food chain topper

middle of the range current shape would depress

it would be just like owning a 1.6 Focus to me

that's why my next Ferrari has to be a concours 246 GTS/355 spider
or new F430

watch this space



cable - I've driven Astons, Lambos, Jags and V10 beemers recently

none impressed me more than that Skoda

hard to explain why; can only think it's because it exceeded my expectations. whereas the others did no more than meet them

then you need to consider why your message isn't getting across Jamie

both LL and GB have pointed out to you that it's wearing a bit thin

LL is a Porsche wannabee too

I just think it sounds a bit desparate and out of place

and certainly not 'tongue in cheek'

you can continue to ignore this feedback

but you will start to sound like someone in denial

Lucky I am not promoting the s2000 v Porsche 911 race then that's on the tube website then as that would really rub it in


attention attention ' I loved my S2000 ' end of story

I don't need to "get with" anything, I'm glad you're happy with your new car and (to try and stay relatively on topic) that Anna's pleasantly surprised with her test drive. I've never been one to criticise someone's choice of car (although maybe the car itself obviously), and I'm perfectly aware that there are faster, better handling, more expensive etc etc cars than the S in existence.

But just about every post from you lately has had a ring of "my car's better than everyone else's here", intentional or otherwise and, as Pete mentioned, it's getting very tedious and at risk of sounding like you're trying to justify something to yourself.
