weekend - (just for the fun of it) cars.
Now that the S has flown the nest....
And as on Tuesday a piece of shit motorway munching vehicle will be joining the Chez Pode stable.
And as it is truly a piece of shit... ( fit for purpose - but God it is bloody awful beyond words ) I will need something enjoyable for the odd weekend or three throughout the year.
It will do less than 3000 miles a year and really only in good weather.
Was thinking...
1/ Caterham or Westy ( Good residuals )
2/ Dax Rush or other 7 type knock off ( Want a good one though - I'd rather pay someone to be a spanner monkey than do it myself.)
3/ Lotus Elise ( one that isn't bent )
4/ VXR220 ( as per [3] )
5/ Something else.
6/ MIBJR - No - not a fecking Renault!!! They are shite - really really shite
What would Jesus do? Or yourself?

They went south. 
Decided to move house - and a substantial extra hefty mortgage will be upon me. And the associated moving costs.
I would rather hold onto other Chez Pode assets in the stock market long term rather than cash in now for the immediate future.
As the new gaff is a fair bit further from the office than now, a nasty piece of shite beater has been roped in. But it has no soul. I need something that has a bit of passion, however mileage will be 2-3000 max, as I'm spending a lot of time outside Blighty these days.
This year - I'm lucky to have spend 60 days here.
Edit - Budget £20K
Additional edit - No S2000's. I've had 3 of them. Enough is enough. Time for something else, I may come back - but there are other great cars out there.
