Re: If you came into some play money, what would you buy
How about a Porsche 968 - the very best in the four cyl front engine lineage? It's the best budget Porsche ever.
Or a Honda S2000.... it revs to 9000 rpm Tapani |

Re: If you came into some play money, what would you buy
OK that leaves the DeLorean since it is mostly stainless steel and plastic as the only car I know or to be rot proof, an aluminium audi, anything made of steel will rot unless measures are taken throughout its life to prevent it.

Re: If you came into some play money, what would you buy
Personally I like the 944 for simplicity and handling. My Triumph revs past 9k and has aboutthe same torque as a s2000.

Biggest problem with the XK is the freaking BMW crap tranny they came with. Same reason I ended up with the XJR over an 8. The Rs come with a Merc. sourced tranny which is durable and costs less an 1/8th of the bmw 8k to replace.

Re: If you came into some play money, what would you buy
I personally would get an 850csi from germany... active rear-wheel kinematics with 200mph autobahn capabilities.. so sexy. True, maintainence is a ***** (like needing a battery tender if you don't Use it for two weeks, dead battery means buying new bmw battery) but we _are_ on an svx forum lol unrealistic amounts of maintainence is something we r used to The 8 series is like the german svx... same deal where bmw spent redunkalous money designing a car that didn't sell... just me although probably not a street parker

Re: If you came into some play money, what would you buy
Is it just me or is it odd that there is no B-pillar?

Re: If you came into some play money, what would you buy
Knowing your passion for British cars, why not the XJS fixed head coupe with a 6, instead of a 12? Dual headlight model of course. I'm not sure about parking anything on the street besides a pick'm'up.
I very much miss my 1958 XK150 FHC and 1964 XKE roadster. Gene
