Still waiting as they haven't phoned back

I was thinking, and the MX5/MR2/Mini are all a lot cheaper than the Z4. As I'm trying to cost as much as possible, to try and get a write-off based on financials, they are out of the equation.

Boxster and Merc were the same price as the Z4, I imagine the TT is too.

Sigh, it's like Christmas only different!

My missus has a MR2 and I LOVE driving it

it has a terrible, terrible interior

but the gearchange is super and the handling is like a gocart

I MUCH prefer the handling on it to my S2000 anyday

A real pocket rocket

After all the excitement it's a Z4 - we *think* it's going to be a manual but I@ll find out when it turns up tomorrow !

And at long last after 6 weeks my car has actually turned up at the bodyshop for an estimate and assessment !

Boxter every time,

I had a test drive in a BoxterS in Germany and had the keys for a whole day. I don't care what other people say this car is way ahead of any other car and that includes the S. Yes its more expensive, however if you can afford it - it cannot be bettered!!

Trust me I know

I've driven all of them and if price is no object the boxster is the way to go.
