Default When the time comes to sell up...

Im planning to sell the S at the beginning of next summer and was quite perplexed at what to go for next... I want whatever I replace it with to have a different league of performance, more refinement, suspension better suited to UK roads and more road presence (as good as it looks, the S is a very small car).

Well today while shooting I drove past the local Sytner garage and saw a black Z4 M in the window... I want one.

Sounds very much like an S with more of everything from evo's roadtest this month and I much prefer the styling over the lower power variants, I also rate BMW's highly for the quality of materials they use and all the wonderful toys they come with... I reckon by this time next year they should be going for circa

Not for the foreseeable future and there is nothing unless a big price increase is on the cards. So it could well be the S2000 for the next 3-5 years and most of the mortgage paid off.

For me, When I sell my cars, I think I will sell and put all the money together and buy a nice R34 GTR Skyline, that or I'll put a deposit on a house.

But I wouldnt mind living in the Skyline

I wouldn't mind an Ariel Atom & a beater - probably keep the S a little longer or get a beater only & try to reduce the mortgage.

Mine is not going to change for a year or so but I'll see how much I use the Jeep as well, propbably get rid of both that and the S2000 and look at either a late 996 GT3 or TT, or depending on the money a 997 Carrera S. Might even have a look at the Vantage as well but I think they'll be too pricey.

This is all in a perfect world of course and every thing goes to plan.

OK, only just got the S, but an NSX WOULD be nice in the future.

Elise as a possible...would need a K20A though!
