The Evo would have been an e36 though, not an e46? Much of a difference?
Thanks for all the advice chaps - I'd prefer a car that I don't have to worry about it breaking (such as an old cossie - regardless of everything else, it's still old and more likely to break) and just roll out the garage for fun.
Was thinking earlier about a Chimera / 350z / Z4M.. opinions what else for the same money would be fun?
