Not sure spending 30K + and being in the car industry is wise

Not been feeling it at all so far to be honest.
Drop in interest rates has offset most of the losses through overtime. We're surviving and I'm still feeling very secure

It does make one concious of your spending but I'm well enough off still that I'm not struggling.

I'm hoping that the issues at the moment will push some of the higher end exotica prices low enough I could pick up something a bit interesting

Hence doing a fair amount of tyre kicking at the moment

Actually, that sounds a lot more like it!

I know they're very good and all that, but I just see ISFs and 3ers as boring old saloons; not exotica, as such.

I'd hang on for that something very 'special'.
