Just as new a TT supra as possible - they stopped making them a while back.
LOADS on import though.

try greenlight for insurance for the GTR

They will be ok on fuel on cruise, but crazy on it on boost.

confused is the biggest load of sh*t.

Try greenlightinsurance - it will be cheaper, even elephant

I got a quote of £4000 off confused for my car, then £700 from greenlight

will try greenlight, cheers

Looking at 4/5 Doors mainly I was thinking of getting a EB5 1.8 VTec 170bhp. Engines have a fair bit of potential

I would get a Litchfield Civic if I could afford it

ignore all advice advocating buying and modifying a car.

What did you decide in the end?

Im looking to pick up a 3.2 S on wednesday (X reg, 70k on clock for ~£13k before negotiation).  Its not a bargain but its spotless, drives flawlessly and is significantly above base spec (feel sorry for the person who paid for all the extras at purchase as they dont seem to be reflected in the 2nd hand price at all).

I think I may well be putting a lot of things in for sale and wanted over the next couple of weeks as I would like to keep my day to day car for a bit.  Its amazing what 4 months living with a BMW 318 that can barely break 16 secs 0-60 will do to you (porsche takes about 6 secs 0-60 and is at 100 by the time youre halfway through the gearbox).  That said I stepped out of a pretty zippy mk5 golf gti and the porsche simply destroyed the driving experience in every single way (except back seats).

I think its probably the nicest driving car Ive ever been let loose in.  Not the fastest or the most expensive but the most fun.  [The most fun was either in a 2.48 sec 0-60 Dax Rush or the Tamora, but in both I always thought I was moments from death and they needed more driving skill than I have unfortunatley - not very practical for me].

Now, if only I can find a way to make it look like an old estate car to everyone else...

Boxster = too poor for a 911?

yeah, I have no problem with that.  I know I cant afford a 911 for a long while yet (not even 100% sure I can afford this one haha).  When I can afford a 911 Ill no doubt have too many responsibilities to buy one anyway so think its the time to give an impractical car a whirl.

It is a shame you have to wade through the hairdresser/gay jokes tho because the car is frankly outstanding.  As long as the car keeps making me smile like an idiot whenever I turn a corner Ill put up with the grief from the lads.

Im actually considering cancelling my plane ticket to Valencia in Feb, setting off a couple of days early and driving down instead.  Not wanted to do something like that in a car before outside of rallys.  Ive never got out of a gti/type-R and thought about an extra trip to the shops just so I could drive it again.


edit: oh btw, for the OP I looked at running costs in quite a lot of detail.  The petrol costs of this one are a bit higher than the 2.5/2.7s since its the 3.2litre S version but its still ~20mpg which isnt crazy.  The brake pads and all the little stuff arent cheap but again not crazy assuming you pick a good dealer and are used to BMW parts anyway.  The biggest unexpected cost appears to be tyres.  The boxster will eat rear tyres if you let it.  You can choose compounds and alignments to reduce this but something to be aware of.  Also, you cant just swap them forwards as the back and front wheels are different.
