As title really,

got a budget of £8K to spend on a car, what would you buy?

Criteria is as follows: (Priorities from top to bottom)

Fast
Fun
Not huge mileage
Can be used daily (Not too fussed about running costs though)
Reliable

Been looking into Megane 225's and Civic Type R's just to give you some idea of where I'm at at the moment.

What else could I get for 8K to put a smile on my face? (And no, not a ruck of Thai brides before the smart ass comments commence!)
