I really can't see anything else I fancy at the moment unless it's a CTR but that would only be nodding

All true. I shall be really intrigued to see what a couple of years brings though, with development of the S2000. There's a bhp war going on with manufacturers at the moment, which is amazing considering that it was all politically bad news not long ago. I can't see Honda sittting on the fence somehow!
