Some crack cocaine, three bags of Cheezels, and a Kenyan orphan.

for the continuing education of this board's members, would you be able to post details of your car's Ks, any extras, your asking price, and your selling price?

That depends on whether you want to spend only the proceeds from the sale of your S2000 or if you're going to add some extra cash to the budget.

Do you want another convertible or is a hard-top OK? Do you want something that has better performance than an S2000 or will you settle for a mild-mannered family sedan?

The big problem for all of us currently owning an S2000 from 1999-2002 is that the sale or trade-in price will not buy anything that could be truly classified as sporting or high-performance.

Anything that you can buy new for the current resale price of an S2000 will not have anything like the same level of performance. If you want same or better performance you're going to have to look at the likes of a used STi, EVO, Skyline or Supra. A used Boxter or Elise will blow the budget.

Cheaper alternatives would be a clubman style car or a V8 falcadore. Perhaps if you tell us a bit about your motoring style & preferences we might be able to make some more specific suggestions.

Since you'll be plenty busy with the new business and the baby I'd say just buy a beater, or a people mover. Then in a couple of years get back into sports cars.

Import... Nissan Stagea RS

R34 GTR engine and running gear packaged in a sexy looking station wagon shape. Perfect for ferrying the family around and then when no one's looking driving it like a sports car.

Will do.
I've got a rear 3/4 shot... Actually went past a nice example of one yesterday. (Have to wait till I get home though)

The front end is sooo angry, but I couldn't get a good shot of it. We were in a moving car and I had a telephoto lens on :\

wil..
