Have done the TVR thing and did like it allot, but I couldn't get past the bad build quality, reliability and kit car thing, but the sound and feel good factor was great and in truth if I could buy back the one I sold for the same price i would have it tomorrow. But its one of those cars where all the good ones are held onto....
Done a VX220 turbo stage 2 and liked it, apart from being a pig to get in and out, but when ever an elise past me, I wished I had the elise over the VX despite the VX having lots more power. The S1 Elise is such a pretty looking car with great lines and have always had a love for them even in standard form.
Intergrali, and E30 M3 all great but couldnt be doing with the LHD.
I'll be honest as say Its a bit gay, and prententious but these days its as much about feeling good about what ever I'm driving as it is about the driving experience, and don't think the S4 would tick that box, so short list is still the elise.
Would love a supercharged exige, but out of budget.
I Had thought about another S2000, and seen a nice yellow one with smart alloys, but due to lack of torque didn't feel that quick as all.
I Had thought about a Boxter 'S' which get good reviews in terms of its capabilities, and also a 3.0 Z4 or if I could find one at sensible money a Z3M. And even the Z4M is fast becoming a good but and depreciation proof. All nice, but a turbo charged elise still trumps all of these as a proper toy car.
