I can't believe it....
I'm in shock. I'm numb. I'm confused. I'm actually thinking of selling my little viagra'ed hairdryer.
 I don't know why - I've had it 2.5yrs (the longest I've ever owned a car) and I have enjoyed over a year of turbo charged madness... I love it. It really is a beast... however something is saying to me that it's time to move on.  I mean *nothing* is going to be quite as good at it. It's faster than the majority of cars I come across on the road it handles better than any car I've ever driven or had a ride in, it's all in all a fantastic fun perfect sports car. Yet I'm still musing on replacing it. Obviously my mind is straying to things that I could modify and play with... but I don't know if I want to do that. Maybe I'm waiting for a stop gap until I have the ability to get something really special? I just don't know. I know a lot of you will be in shock as you all know how very proud I am of it and how much I love it, and how much time and money (not as much as you'd think) I've put into it. I just think, yes, I've done it, it's exactly how I wanted it - now it's time to move on. I mean, I seldom drive it anywhere but London, and how I haven't been knicked yet I just don't know... The fact that in London I can do double the speed limit in just over 5s is ridiculous! I want a bit more luxury, creature comforts and space. I'm a pretty big chap and I'm starting to feel I want to be able to feel a bit more comfy in my car. Obviously I'd still want something fairly potent, but nothing is going to be as good or as chuckable as that.... So you see my dilema (sorry for the rant and splurge) i kinda do want to change but at the same time I don't. The thing is I have no idea what I want, I keep getting pulled in all sorts of directions... from Audis to Alfas to VWs to BMWs to flippin' Jags!!! I'm running out of brands here! lol! I don't really have any stipulations I'm putting onto myself... well maybe low mileage and less than 7 years old (my car is a W reg) - of course I'd love a 200+ bhp RWD car but at the moment that seems less important (though RWD is still a winning factor for the time being). What a palaver! There's no point to this thread really other than letting out some hot air - but I know when I sell her it'll hurt... but I still feel it's getting to that time now... Hmm I'll probably end up in some Fiat rotbox! lol!

Getting old and sensible tbh. Happens to us all, then later the mid-life crisis happens.
  Yeah, I'm shocked, for sure, but if it proves to be really what you want then why not.

I went from an Elise to a Mondeo. Nuff said.
