Nobles are all 2 seat (correct me if I'm wrong), Sagaris or Cerbera would really push the fun:maintenance ratios, but given my personal penchant for unreliable and sexy cars I have a soft spot for them.

Audi TT will bore you, unless it's an RS. R8s won't come down for a few years yet.

Whilst you're working away, I'd stick with the M3 til you can upgrade to the E92.

Having said that, not driving the car every day would be a perfect time to own a TVR, then swap that in for German reliability when you're on dry land permanently

I dont really need 4 seats, although ive had something with 2 seats before & it was just a pain in the crotch.

I'll just get the RS & see where we go from there.

If you'd said a couple of months ago I might have done. As it is, I have other things in the pipeline that take up the "possible M3 fund"

And yes, CSL is better, I'll love you again then.

Those things are ridiculously quick. You'll need the same amount of money again to replace the pants you'll keep soiling.

They are in a different league to the RS though, including the running costs...

Buy a Bentley Continental GT (or Supersports). The GT second hand goes for as little as 43k in some places. Built by VAG so its german and fast. Of all the cars im lucky enough to have been a passenger in, the conty is the only one that pulls, pulls and pulls some more.

Oh, and that W12 sounds beautiful.

Tbh tho its a schoolboy error by Colin not to run the rust off them before the pics.

Stick with the RS colin, if you dont like it then you will have no bother at all selling it on.

Yep. No brainer tbh.

The Noble may seem like a cool idea but it will soon become a pain in the arse with practicality/running costs etc.

Jades now piped up now that we can maybe sell her mini to get an RS.

I get to keep my M3 However i'll be paying the extra to pretty much buy her an RS, the J77DE plate will go on it & it will be her daily driver.

Just not sure what we would get for the mini, only had it 4 months. Paid 16.5. Parkers says px is £12-ish There on AT for between 15-17k still.

This is starting to get complicated

I wanted an RS, now Jade wants one.

I dont need a car, Jade does.

Im not sure what to do anymore!! :/
