Firstly Col W.T.F. are you on drug's? if not I think you should be.
If I realy had to change my WEAPON I think after looking at some on the overboost website it would have to be the 350Z they take to modification very well

I can't see myself ever owning a better car than the one in the garage now. Even if I could afford to buy a more expensive one I couldn't afford to service it. The convertible 350z sounds like an option though when it comes to say goodbye to Lady Blue.

Before buying the S I had been thinking of a secondhand (sorry, 'pre-used') Jaguar XK8 convertible. I think the cost of an early model has probably come down to about that of a new S now.

Problem: XK8 is either a convertible or a coupe - The S has the best of both worlds - and I don't think the XK would fit in my present garage.

Either NSX or Viper next. Both were considered before the S but both would have to fairly old to cost

Viper?!!?

Is that a monster car for a modest-sized bloke, Dave? Are there size-compensation issues going on here?

(I booked my Dad's Christmas present today - a racing day where you get to drive an Exige, a Noble M12, an XKR, a Viper and a Diablo. Of course, my brother and I who are paying for it are having to go with him to keep him company and to take part ourselves Looking forward to the Noble, but a bit unnerved at the prospect of the 7 litre Viper )

I think he means a Vindscreen Viper?

Can only think of an older targa NSX.
Did consider an Esprit before I bought the S but they're far too unreliable. Same goes for TVR.

I had to find a car quick, when I gave back the S and ended up looking through the buyers guide in Evo. Had to be relatively new and reliable, fast, fun, usable every day and under
