Default I cant make my mind up? (GTR/TVR/MK2 WTF?)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I just cant make my mind up, I used to love my old Escort Cossie, and in the three years that have passed since I sold it I've had the following, all for about a month, 2x XR2 rallycars, 4 Gp4 Mk2 escorts rallycars, another Escort Cossie, 290 bhp S2, and I know have the R33 GTR, that is an amazing car, but I'm not happy with it (how I do not know?lol)
So, why can't I just get a car and be happy? What should I get, I want a TVR Cerbera at the mo, but I'll prob sell that aswell. I love rwd cars that are like road going rallycars, you know, stripped out and 2 seats etc. A nice Exige would be cool, but I look a cock getting out of them due to my height.Tell ya what, a rwd Gp2 Fiesta in Gulf colours would be awesome!

So, what shall I get, I don't care if it's on a Q reg or stolen recovered etc, it's gotta be less that £20k, be able to do track stuff, rwd, preferably white, any ideas?

yeh, I had a look earlier and thought about it, but to be honest after driving a GTR I'd find the Escort handling, to quote a certain well known Passionforder, "agricultural"
What Porsches are there for that price?

your hopeless lol!!

Just get somthing and use it - thats what your missing.

Its what you do with the car that will relight your "passion" for cars not just searching for the "ultimate" all the time.

I just sold a TVR Cerbera, always wanted one, got one, then sold it on. Just wasn't the car for me. Dissapointed really.
Very fast cars though and was great to drive. But i used it every day and they just ain't no good for that
I also change cars every other month

Yeh, I've got my TDi Quattro for everyday use, I just want something i can take out for a laugh with some mates to Santa pod, you know, a proper "toy". My mates just got a F355 and he adores it, as he says, for a "toy" it ticks every box.

Mate had a Chimera and then Cerbera, only if it was the last car on earth I'd buy one TBH. Ugly as sin and disgraceful build quality and handled like a pig amongst other things. RWD rally car, you'll be hard pushed to find something modern. For fun factor it'd be a tuned Supra, only reason I passed on one was the handling, but it certainly shifted like a whore on bonus in a straight line, other than that for all round capability a Mitsi EVO.

Give the Cerbera a go mate. Great value, fast as you like

Sound awesome

Obviously horrific build quality... but lets call that 'Character'
