for me thats the escos

but the sensible side of me thinks spend say 4-5k on a st220 for everyday and the rest on an escos that i can do a bit do, put my own mark on it, like i have been doing with my FRST........

escort cosworth spending 20k or so for track days and fun at the weekend.
then 10k to find a nice focus RS/ST for a reliable daily drive

Totally depends on use:

Everyday utility - RS4 V8(or Cayenne Turbo if like me you have toys and a dog)
Daily car for single/couple - Porsche 911 Turbo
Weekend toy/track - Porsche GT3
Weekend/nice to have in garage - RS500
Couple of cars - Rangey for days and Westfield and trailer for weekends

All my choices, but no idea what they are worth in UK anymore

I said i'd spend 30k on a nsx type-r and you said there are plenty on pistonheads for 15-20k. Its like saying i want an escort cossie for 15k and you saying there are plenty of escort rs2000's on pistonheads for 2k

A Moonstone 3 door, and a White 3 door to go with my Black 3 door. A full set would be good. Any change out of the £30000 I would use to pay Tremona Garage to carry out any work required.
