Nice dilemma.

Surprised no-one's mentioned the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - £210k new, entry now at £115k, with a chance of a Ferrari warranty.

Or, looking at a classic with cast iron residuals, there's always the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona - Entry around £120k, and prices actually climbing...

I once had a long discussion with BrianJ regarding the ownership of Noble. The conclusion from his experience was to stay away.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Quad turbo lovelyness! Probably not a track monster though.

Can't find a link for one in Piston Heads but have you ever thought about the Mercedes CL Black Series, it was the one that J.Clarkson took to the Welsh roads in the middle of the night?

I assume it would have to be more impressive than the F430...I haven't seen a suggestion yet that is......unless you can go to mega bucks.

Predictable me......R500?

I'm not sure that it should. The 340 is now timeless.

forget timeless. Cars are for driving and the 340R NEEDS more power. Either stick a honda in that shed or replace it with an R400 plus
