      If you want something, fast, fun, fairly cheap with loads of grip. Then buy a VX220 or Lotus Elise.
      I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

        Well I'd like the real thing - I guess it depends on what comes along - but I also have to think I may stick it into a headge, so prehaps a replica would be better and I can replace it........

          I had a disco before the Jag, yes that was heavy and slow, and leans round the corners...

            Dont forget the Caterham super light. Do a spanner check before you take it out though.
            I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

              You just have to think about how you drive it. If you are going to buy any powerful rear wheel drive car without traction control then book some performance driving lessons first.

                    Admittedly though, I was left a rather large inheritance last year.

                    Didn't have to work for it.

                      all you have to to is wander down the A243 just before CWoA on the left hand side then take your pick.
