Old at 34 lol
I'm 31 next month and still feel/act 21 lol (prob shouldn't admit to that lol)

One of my customers is 61 and has a convertible gallardo, and he drives it properly. (Awesome car!)
He's even thinking of getting the new aventador spyder at £350k!

Im looking at toys at that budget too, i have considered a slightly older 2001-2002 turbo bodied 911. i figured a half decent lowering set up and a set of deep dish wheels and wrapped in gloss white (possibly pearl) with a few trick bits would scratch the porker itch ive had for a while (fucking mid life crisis).

Not sure what theyre like on fuel but i know they arent blisteringly quick, i guess form over function can sometimes seem appealing for a while.

something like this maybe, slightly over the set budget

Stu / Rick - lol yeah 34 isn't too old but at the mo priorities are changing a bit, sorting out 2nd house to rent, looking into building another house so money etc on luxuries have changed from 10 years ago!! Wouldn't mind an evo but fancy something abit smaller, if I were to go 4 door i'd jump and get a C63 merc, but this exercise needs to allow me to cut back a bit, get something enjoyable (hasnt got to be a rocket ship but a decent enough bit of poke) and not too expensive to run.

Brad - I like that a LOT mate!!!!!

I've given up the search and decided to keep the CSL....lol

My short list was....

C63 AMG Merc
997 C2s
VXR8 with supercharger
V8 M3
Mk2 Focus RS (again)
Camaro (6.2 V8 version)


What I really want is a 996 GT3, so I'm just gonna wait a while and get 1 of those..

get a 535d, cheapish to run, look well, go well. won't lose much on depreciation. just a comfy motor with some poke, help you save a bit more towards the c63
