    I'd like to drive a car that is circa my annual salary (Noble or something fun like that). Unfortunately back in the real world the money lenders won't hear of it and condemn me to my banger.

    I think a Lotus Exige for me, it's fun, economical and a practical car to do the shopping in and drag my teenage daughters around in.

    It's also circa my salary.......

    Yes, all very well but is it fun?

    And you forget, for a car to be fun you've to be up to you eyeballs in debt :rotfl:

    KingE, I would love an Exige or an Elise, I cannot bring myself to spend £8k on an old S1. I am a right tight b*gger.
