Looked at some of those this time round - test drove a used 360F1, 997, 996C4S but decided I could get just as much pleasure from the Boxster for what I'm looking for (and have Pounds20K+ left in my pocket), although had the waiting list for the AMV8 not been so stupid (and the dealer a little less ignorant) I may have put my money down for that.

Next car, may change the emphasis - a nice sporty saloon/SUV and a more extreme fun car, something along the lines of an Ariel Atom... but hey, haven't even got the Boxster yet and who knows what will happen next!
