£25,000 ish to spend! What shall I buy?

My shortlist is Tuscan, Exige, Noble, M3 (possibly, but bad E36 experience worries me)

What do people think?

A pink one?

Nobel, without a doubt. Different class to everything.

Tuscan would be fun, but you'll get bored of the issues, the tyre wear, the fuel bills

Nobel nobel nobel.. But can you get them for £25k?

Yeah I do like the Nobles but for £25k it would be an older less cared for example and reliabilty worries me!

Yeah, had it for ages now, top car but seeing as tho I dont use it much I may as well get something more extreme! And after going out in my mates new 612 Ferrari the other day I just fancy a mental RWD supercar!

TVR T350 is nice. Not sure what modern TVR's are like for reliability

Whats your opinion on the E46 M3 dude? I took an E46 out and it was awesome but you cant get a vibe in a 20 min thrash! And you know my biased view on anything with an M badge on it!!!

Stu i love them. Its such an allrounder. I know your not a huge m fan, but i think the package is great.

Such a good car to live with, my family have had loadsa BMW's (we turned down the e36 m3 due to shoddy smg gearbox ) but they are built very well, last long, look great and errr MPOWER

All the mags rave about them, id go for it. But i know you like things "raw" so id reccomend the tvr

How nice is that eh???? I am leaning towards the TVR to be honest!!!!

Altho Jambo is putting a good M case forward!!! Like you say tho, its just that raw thing.

The only thing I did forget to mention is that the car will only do about 3,000 miles a year and will live in a garage, so practicality, reliability etc isnt too much of an issue!!

Yeah deffo TVR stu, the M3 altho nice isnt id say what your looking for

TVR will annoy old people and scare children. This is definately what you want.

P.s white is the new black

Not as practical or usuable as a TVR imo

TVR's rock Low miler Tuscans can be had for around 16k

Have driven a Tuscan around Brunters on a red letter day thing... and although it was fast, and it was fun, I still wouldnt call it RAW!

In fact, aside from the fact that it feels like it was thrown together in a cowshed, I would say its about as rewarding as an E46 M3 to be honest...


Id want a Noble for my pennies...

turbo power delivery is where the word RAW comes from
