I wondered after reading that another Up! Owner still had their old Polo...

Do you have another car when you aren't in your Up! ?

I had a Renault Scenic, until 2 weeks ago when it died. Have sold it on ebay and decided to see how I get on with just the up. The up was already my preferred car; even over my wife's 2.0T EOS.

They couldn't any more 'opposite' from each other in almost every respect :)
Nice, is that the 997? Always planned on buying one, maybe one day!

I only have the up!, though I planned to get a fun car along the up!, but I've gotten to like the li'l one.

To be honest, I wouldn't know what to buy.
While I fancy the rather expensive stuff, like a BMW (Z) 4 or Cayman, I don't quite fancy them enough to fork out the stiff price they want for them. Not exclusive enough either for the money.
Maybe the 4C ...

I just have the up! And the wife wont let us turn into a 2 car family, yet!! But when we start a family maybe I'll look at getting a golf as well as the up! But what I really want is a jeep wrangler but pointless as I dont or wont do any off roading!!!

If I had ÂŁ40k available I would have ordered a 4C without a test drive. It is a seriously special peice of hardware.

For the first time in years someone has out-lotused Group Lotus. However if I had ÂŁ60k would I keep ÂŁ20k in the bank and hold a 4C or would it have to be a new Exige V6?

Am sorry to say, a 911 is a cracking car and is brutally fast and comfortable, but doesn't feel so 'telepathic' as a true lightweight sportscar should.

I wondered if your signature was your classic car.

Post some photos?

Go well.
