M3 CSL
Evo 9
Impreza STI WR1
E60 M5
M6 if you look hard enough or put a couple of extra thousand on top
996 Turbo

That's probably what I'd have in mind.

E60 M5 or nice specced Evo

Not had that money so never really thought about it.

Although maybe I should as I now have £30k tied up in two Evos. Hmm.

I paid Circa £26 / 27K for it but for that i got x4 new PS2 tyres and it has AP's all round which come in at close to £3K on there own.

All depends what you want really as i wanted one i could use without destroying the value of so was looking for something that had over 40K miles. Anything over that seems to drop from £30+K to around the £25 - 30K

Done my 1st track day a few weeks ago and £uck me its fun
