The test drive list
As I'm about to spend up to 20k on a car I feel it's my duty to test drive anything that may come into budget (and a few that won't!!) in the interests of research
Here's the list so far
S2000
BMW Z4 (If I can find one)
BMW M Roadster
Focus RS
Civic Type R
Mitsi Evo 6, 7 or 8
VX220 Turbo
RX8 (if I can find one)
Porsche Boxster
Alfa GTV 3.0 V6
Golf R32
Toyota MR2
Scoob STi or P1 or both
It'll be the only way I can keep sane driving my Nissan Bluebird for the next month or so

Agree with them all. Do a write up of each on here, it`ll be fun to read. Define categorys and mark them out of 10. You can be the sites indy testdrive reviewer.

Two cars missing on that list that I looked at were:
Lotus Elise
Mercedes Benz 230SLK.
Ok, so they are VERY different vehicles, but if you're looking for a convertible first, those two are in the budget, second hand.
The SLK has the best roof in history (until the Z4 arrived) but it's more hairdresser than a Porker, and that's some statement.
