A Winter Toy?

[JK240]

In my post Z life, I've bought a plaything in the shape of a 2005 Fiesta ST

My wife used to have one of those, it was a proper little rocket

Back on topic, ever thought about something like an Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 V6 Prodrive. Relatively cheap, 268 BHP, and limited numbers so may even hold its value..?

I've never had an Alfa but love the thought of owning one. Just imagine the excitement of sitting in your own Alfa Romeo every morning, putting the key in the ignition, and wondering if it will start or not.

370z?
We bought a 3 year old Nismo mode recently and absolutely love it. Performance is enough to put a grin on my face, it’s pretty well equipped inside, and comfy enough to do long journeys. Even got 30mpg out of it in a 450 mile round trip to a wedding in Wales this weekend

Hi All,

Much though I love my 240Z, it will never be a daily driver.

It is time to replace my boring sensible everyday car and I'm wondering what to replace it with. Given it lives on a street in London, I can't be too precious about it and reliability is important.


Any thoughts / ideas would be welcome...

Thanks,

Nick D.

Given it lives on the streets of London, how about a London GoKart...

Hi,

I did look at these but was surprised how slow they are - slower even than my 2003 Focus!

Thanks everyone for your ideas,

It is now between a 350Z / 370Z or a 3.0 Z4 coupe.

Cheers.

Z 4 coupe has more of a proper sports car feel,handling is excellent once the runflats have been stopped,if you are after a z4 coupe l might let mine go as thinking about a z4 M coupe m49000 miles,

350/370 don’t hold their value compared to the Z 4

Porsche 968 as a late entrant ...

I remember buying a winter car when there was thick snow on the ground and I dint want to use the 240z. This was back in the 80/90's and the car I chose was a 2 door rust free mk1 escort I paid £60 for!!!!

Yeah, good call. I like 968's.. Club Sports are fetching silly prices though it seems.

968 would be a good call. I’d just have a sport, the club sports not worth the extra for what it is.

Same here Fronky, power windows, comfort seats, sunroof, tailgate release, etc all good and same performance as CS and I'm sure the Sport was a UK only model that was built on the same production line with similar chassis numbers or something like that...??
