What car?

Been done before, but I find it a fascinating insight to other peoples tastes.

We all share a love for the F/TF, but what if (god forbd) that there was no such car. What car for similar, say max price of £26k new, price would you consider. Not a hard and fast figure, just trying to stop the the "I would have an R8/Ferrari/Lamborghini" type posts.

So, keeping it real, what would you have.

Here is my standby.

staying within the realms of reality, I think you have impeccable taste and I would have the very same car :yesnod:

While I quite like the Alfa, my preference would be an 2009 Audi TT

I think most of Alfas gremlins are in the past. Anyway, a true enthusiasts car never runs smoothly, just as long as it runs.

Have to be that.

My Boss (and the guy who helped convert the car) Alan's Elise S1 in Burnt Orange (an Exige S2 Colour)

It also is running the Honda K20A and you are looking at a car that has 290 Bhp / tonne

Also I'm loving the fact that we are all still chosing roofless cars!!

Hi CJJ,
I think I would avoid a new car, possibly go for a TVR or,


It`s a Dax Cobra £26 k and with a Rover V8, small world eh ?

Nice. Don't see too many around.

Probably another Volvo..............


Yes i know, i know an old mans car esp. for a 26 year old, with red hair. BUT.........just try an keep up IF you can esp. T5 guise with a remap, for under 5k, just think i could have 5 of them OR alternatively my previous car Porsche Boxster S :yesnod: Feel the smugness!!
