I have thought of both of those and if I was going to have 1 car for both jobs I would consider them, poss looking for something a bit more "outrageous" really

not sure on budget yet the longer I keep the Cayman the more I would have

at monet it would be about £30-35k for both cars but would like to get that to £40k as that would bring some nice stuff in such as a F360 or 911TT, though a F355 may be a better idea as I with a 360 I would be buying one of the cheapest ones which worries me

I'd be avoiding the Fezer option just due to the hit you'd have to take in purchase price to cover routine mantainace.

Off the wall suggestion Honda NSX?

Would leasing a car not be covered by car allowance?

re Ferraris I need to look at maintenance costs on minimal mileage, if it is in realms of 2k a year then athst ok but much more might be a bit much if I have 2 run another car too


I know the NSX is a great car but its a bit underpowered in standard form and doesnt seem that special to me

heres my "off the wall" suggestion, Dodge Viper/GTS/RT10
