Have you driven one Mark? I haven't yet but imagine it's more comfy than the Exige, which is cramped, can't hear anything above 80 and I can't see out the back. Only a minor gripe though.

ODM, I think I just want a change

My suggestions would be either:

Clio Trophy - £6.5k
996 GT3 - £37K

OR

Clio Cup - £3.5k
996 GT2 - £42K

Done

GT2 is a turbo and will not be so much fun on a track, well not as much as a GT3 N/A engine IMO

I would like to try a 996 GT3, but supposed to be worse than Mark B's description of the CSL

Jamie, i'd be made of money were it not for the affliction I don't like to think about it The Exige has dropped a big chunk in 18 months - unless I sell private.

Yes but the 996 GT3 will hold its value more than the CSL and you will be selling it in 6 months
