I thought about a Jag but I’m thinking more a smaller coupe I did like Ekonas advice though. Don’t try get something similar because I will be disappointed - I might even go FWD Quote

Ekona Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 I mean if he does can we go round and key the crap out of it, to devalue it and make him learn his lesson? I feel that’s appropriate. 2 Quote
Kieran O'Quick Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 But what to do if its a Scirocco? Quote
Stutopia Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Just seen Col's new Teg. It's mint. £28k is a lot of money, but hopefully they'll keep going up... 2 Quote
davey_83 Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) If it was me I'd be looking @ FD2 Edited October 11, 2021 by davey_83 Quote

ShortPaul Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Ahh ok mate, look forward to seeing what you get next and how you mod it😁 Quote
coldel Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 Well still looking. I have managed to convince the missus that 4 seats as a 'must have' just isn't going to work so have managed to scrub that from the list. I am thinking something like an SLK55, Z4 35i or a gen 1 Cayman. Something that will be good fun for 18 months or so then can sell on without too much value of the car lost. Was looking at E46 M3s but not sure on the auto boxes. They are still great looking cars though. Quote
Tomato Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Think you written off the 4 seats now but would look at an Jaguar XFR over an M3, the RS maybe out of budget, they are fun. Just sold an SLK, they are nice compared to a 350 inside, quick, but they don't like corners I found, disappointing in my view and they starting to show there age (my view). Z4M are fun, cayman are nice too, but make you cry a lot if they go wrong 😃 Quote
coldel Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 XFR just seems a bit too barge for me. I did read up on Z4M and they say you are better off with a 3.0 coupe which handles better and overall better package bizarrely Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I bet you end up with a Porsche Col ... 1 Quote
coldel Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 Im having a sneaky look at Scirocco Rs as well Quote
Tomato Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Z4M bit like the m2 vs 240 m sport, if you like driving you get the proper M 😆 The XFR is a big car, the RS version is much better on handing and hides it weight well. I would take the cayman over a z4 any day though 🤣 Quote
Tomato Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I have not driven the R scirocco, have a less powered version, visibility is rubbish, was nice to drive though on longer distances, although found it bit unexciting to drive when getting a bit more frisky. Quote
coldel Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 Driving a can of beans is a step up in visibility vs what I have just sold! I had a Scirocco as a company car ten years back and quite liked it. Cayman is coming through strong though...the S over the base model of course. Quote
Tomato Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Those vx220 are fun, nearly bought one, but they are a bugger to get in and out off 🤣 If you get anything less than an S we will have you banned from the forum. On a serious note the gts version are great if you have the budget. Quote

I think the base might be a bit of an underpriced gem. The numbers are not that much lower than the S and there's a few quid to be saved. If the 981 has to go when the commute returns, I've got my eye on a 987. Quote
