2) I'm sticking with higher management !! 25 year old gf ?? I think my mind would be making appointments my body couldn't possibly keep
3) I'm concerned over the ved just how sensible is that ??
the 25 year old trophy girlfriend is supposed to be as well as higher management not instead... as they say its important to have a woman who cooks and cleans , its very important to have a woman that's stunning arm candy, and its extremly important to have a woman that meets your needs in the bedroom..... and its absolutely f*****g critical that these women don't find out about each other
I'd look at the BMW Z4 or if you don't want a convertible, the Peugeot RCZ.
VED is basically irrelevant compared to fuel and tyres
Act your age, get a Volvo
Speed like a swede?
Mate of mine had a Griffith - it was the only car I've ever encountered that broke down more than my old XJS (although the alfasud my mate farley had when we were 18 comes close)-, plus the roof used to leak like a b*****d in the rain so the only solution was to leave it down and drive really fast to stay dry (the police did not accept that as an excuse when he got tugged for doing 82 in a 60)
I realise build quality may be better now and i'd fancy a Chimera if i had the coins but just saying..
also a post with the words ferrari in it could also be acceptable (although again not for 15k ... and they break down a fair bit too)
I knowI drive a Volvo
Porsche 911. Slightly butcher than the Coxster or Gayman which might be out of budget. What about M3 BMWs, E63/E55/CLS55/63 AMG etc
Or if reliving your youth matters, what about a hot hatch. I saw some old dude in a Corsa VXR and GTi Golf etc.
Forget the M3,s as for the Mercs aleardy covered in post 23
V12 bi turbo CL600

Nothing personal but YOU had a Jag XJS??? I didn't see that coming...I had you as a mundane/sensible sort of car person
Legend...For my midlife crisis I'm looking at buying an old MR2 and doing it up, i'll be foregoing the trophy girlfriend as my wife is already ten years younger than me
V12 biturbo, I didn't look furtherProper money pits. They go so well though...my choice would be the SL of any engine other than the 350.
Shame Bentley GTs aren't in budget. The GT covers it off so well.
Or a Honda...I think you'll find that is a Triumph...

R32s are getting very old. Unless it's been rebuilt it will be a bit rusty. Mine needed a lot of welding to get it through its last MOT and that was about 7 or 8 years ago. I was fancying another recently as well
I looked a long time ago, would be about 2003 or so, finding an R32 that hadn't been mucked about with even then was not easy.Skyline R33 GTR or even the R32 GTR they don't lose money and are a great drive. A good one for your money, the only car I regret selling- would love another one.
Been there done that. I bought a knackered non running rusty old mk1 mx5 and did it up. Learnt some good man skills in the process (engine out, loads of cutting and welding etc). Is much fun and I can highly recommend it.
Of course even after turbo-ing it etc you'll have plenty of change from £15k
