I'd go for the first option and get an old banger for the days you won't be able to use it, second hand TVRs are as cheap as chips. The Cayman is supposed to be good but is too close to the 911 price to make it VFM. the z4 coupe still looks like a 20k base model from the front.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -
Go with the Z4. A mate's got a Z3 M Coupe and it's a howl.Originally posted by dotnetter
The Cerbera may annoy you reliability-wise. Plus it has more chance of ending up in a ditch on a rainy day.
Better still pass your bike test and stick you fingers up to all three of 'em. They're rear wheel drive.
Just don't come off it, eh?Comment

Must admint the Cerbera makes more sense, yeah it might cost more to maintain, but the newer ones are ok reliability wise, alot cheaper than the other two.
And the noise
Plus I prefer driving cars that might kill me on the next bend, ill wait till im 30 before thinking about a Passat Highline or an Audi Estate

I can't get on with the chavvy look of the back. I mean the front and side are beautiful, but they go and spoil the back, same on the Tamora too
Also love the Tuscan but my god why put them chavvy exhausts on it?
If the Tuscan had the Cerbera tailpipes then yeah, but at the moment I can only get on with the Cerbera 4.5 lightweight, oooh yes please 0-60 3.9 seconds?

'Baby forces sale' will be me next, anyone have a classic sports car for the weekends? I was thinking a focus diesel for mundane day to day and a mint TR6 or something, I reckon I could get both for less than 16k if I went for a 3 year old focus.Originally posted by dotnetterill wait till im 30 before thinking about a Passat Highline or an Audi Estate
As long as you look after it you should enjoy depreciation free motoring and it may even increase in value??Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

For days when I don't fancy the bike, I want a tail happy '69 911s, I'll buy one eventually, when I find the 'right' one, it's got to be yellow for a start.Comment

You might like the idea of it but probably not so much fun in practice.Originally posted by dotnetterPlus I prefer driving cars that might kill me on the next bend, ill wait till im 30 before thinking about a Passat Highline or an Audi Estate
I'd still go for something you can live with a bit easier on a day-to-day basis but still have a hoot with on a track, hence the Z4 recommendation.
I wouldn't have thought a TVR is much fun in traffic; this is the UK after all.Comment

Ive got a Z3 at the mo only the mere 140bhp one, but get's the back end out nicely. Got it cos the missus wanted to drive it, now it's in the garage after the missus failed to see a taxi on a roundabout
It's actually a really good car, fun to drive, not as juicy as the V8 S-Type i had before and is very very reliable.
But I want to palm that off on the missus and get something for myself, and go nuts this time.
Trouble is im 26 in sept my missus just lost me my no claims and I was going for a group 20 motor
