I would advise exige test drive. See how you get on. I'd go cheap family car plus balls out kart. You would not regret this as the right exige will cost you little in depreciation.

I don't have time to shop atm

I will consider my options when my current contract is up. The missus doesn't seem to care about a family car now, the golf can do that so maybe an exige and the s2

Sensible

A nice 997 would be very sensible

There are some tempting deals but i think thats based on fragility to an extent. I do like them but high maint costs arent attractive

Tried to install a pure 300 DAB in he BM, it has a complex audio install its fair to say. Non std connector, non std aerial.. pita

I'm finding the Porsche very easy to work on, its just a trumpted up VW..

What you got? You maintaining yourself?

Cayman, most of it is the same as the 997 but with the engine/gearbox rotated 180 degrees. 997 was out of my budget.

I have done everything myself apart from the alignment, have had to buy a few of the usual VW tools.

Dropping the gearbox for a clutch was the easiest I've ever done!

I like those, the next gen of the s2000 I think. Chap had an S on a training day I did, superb handling thing, incredibly precise and very quick

one to watch, be interesting to see the thoughts (though it's a compare to a 435i not M4)
