OK then, a grands worth of Easyjet flights, the car club membership and a 3k MR2

Looking forward to a shot of the Merc they just got at the top of the page http://www.cccedinburgh.co.uk/Stables.asp#

Have been offered to sell my 944 S2 today. If only I knew what to replace it with. Have not seen a decent E30 M3 in ages so honestly I have no ideas for a replacement. Unless one of the honorable members of this forum comes up with a very good suggestion it will stay with me

Rough outlines are:

6K-ish
sports car look preferred
one and only car
will be driven in town mostly
classic car to be considered

Question

....and occasional trips to the ring!

Why do you want to sell it?

I presume £6k (not €6k) right Ralf? I doubt there is much better you could replace it with? Keep it? It looks like it's in good condition....

If you're into classics, join the classic car club for 2 grand and then spend 4 grand on a car. MR2 maybe.

Why would Ralf go to all that trouble for an MR2? He has a Porsche remember (and please don't come back with it's not a real Porsche! )

Not yet, but a mate who's in the club took me for a spin in it when he had it, very nice indeed, great sound.
I need one of the low point cars for about 2 weeks, basically as a hire car, choices are P6 3.5 Rover, Porsche 928 or Morris Minor! Tough choice.........

Matt, 6K Pounds I meant or 9K Euros.

A Turbo came to mind though...

evo magazin is not a fan of the MR2. A MKI as a trackday toy sounds good, except it's too weak for the Nürburgring and insurance is ridiculous high.

Any more suggestions?

Just sold my S2 & a 968CS is the logical progression if you like to do a bit of track action. £6k will only see you in a tatty LHD one tho up it a few £k tho an you can bag a LHD minter.

A nice 944 turbo may suit you also- get a nice SE 250bhp (easy 300bhp with a tweek) one for £6k
