Never even thought of one of those. Seriously tempted. They look serious!

Whats the need for the strut brace though? Means the loss of a good two seats

Or a 944, get a turbo and post 1985. Pop up headlamps are so cool!

Convertible so I'm changing my profession to hairdresser but its price won't depreciate as they're relatively rare so if i decide to change down the line I should recoup most of my cash prize monies.

Opinions lads?

Plan:

lowered, rims, spacers, re-do the ICE, remap & other engine work.

Drive in the sun (snow currently) with my hairdressers hair blowing in the wind.

I had second thoughts last night and this morning. Decided against it.

Main thinking was that I like a convertible and I like the 350z, but I wasn't too sure I really liked the convertible 350z shape...and I hadn't even seen the car - I was going on my parents recommendation who had been to view it whilst I was at work.

Best to make sure its going to be a car I definitely am going to dream about and have a passion for driving.

Especially when its the most money I'v ever spent...

have you driven any of the cars you're looking for?
i know you've decided against the Z but fun-illy enough mate of mine wanted one for ages, got one and ended up selling it after a couple of weeks as he didn't like it. think he said it was a dull drive?

the answer to your question Anon - is no!

It would have been a 22yr olds very rash decision to buy a car i'v never seen - apart from in pictures, let alone driven...

whay are you specific on it being a 2 seater. if i had around £10,000 to spend on a car it would be this any day of the week http://www.pistonhea...les/3457692.htm
you may think 160,000 miles is allot but for an ABY engine that's just run in.
+ there hugely tunable. my boss has one with 800bhp and its scary fast. Ferrari killer and hes not spent a fortune either.

i shouldn't suggest one as they are french, but how about a V6 clio?
went for test drive in one the other year, bloody good fun car :D

plus for your budget you'd be able to pick up a very good low mileage one.

I dont care if its called a Woolywoofters Pet Poodle, with around 10k I'd be buying a Mini Cooper JCW S GP, 210bhp, 2 seater, goes like stink

Collectable Limited Edition

I'm seriously considering one :D

That's a nice car.

A little over budget, ok maybe a lot, but the Mini Roadster Works?
