Honda S2000 if you want something modern. My mums buying one and I had a test drive and they're very nice. Good for posing with the top down aswell.

If you want something different you might be able to get a decent Cobra replica for the price.

Forgot to say if you spend £10-12k on a S2000 when you come to sell it you'll probably get £7-8k. With the Cobra whatever you buy it for you'll get back and maybe a bit more aswell.

See ya

id probably go for a late reg E36 M3 evo convertible hardtop ( 321 bhp rwd , though ive heard they dont always make that power, still be ****in quick...) think the ladies would like it too =P~ , any change id keep for petrol cost :wink:

Ye deffo something modern, fed up with rust and dodgy trim, want something rare, quick, stands out, i dont like evo's, subaru, etc and dont want another ford, vaux, i was thinking of a Clio V6, a pair would be cool?

clio v6, evos and stuff are a bit dull for a 'weekend' car. s2k's also - ive had one and whilst good as an everyday car isnt what id see as a fun weekend tool. elises piss all over them for fun factor.

id get something a bit mental like one of these. or a westfield/caterham

crazy fast

I have to agree with Andyvalver, for a weekend toy there ain't a car on the road that is as much fun as a bike!!
Hot summers day windows down, music on, stuck in traffic.....I don't think so...wind through your leathers keeping you cool and over-taking all the traffic sounds more like it..

My last one made 324bhp, go for it, hardtop is a nice lookin beastie, but if u go for a Coupe/4-door you'll get a descent one and have enough change for a descent 600cc supersport :twisted:

E36's are a bit chav though. 968CS would be top of my list.

Zollo

The E36 isn't really that exciting either. Perfect for a daily driver performance car, but if it's just for the weekends then you can afford to go for something more extreme, raw, uncompromising, etc

A Club Sport is a raw and thrilling car, particularly with the M030 pack, but it's not too expensive to run or too thirsty, doubtful will ever depreciate, and will go on forever 8)

malbon

agreed. e36 is far from a decent drivers car - especially the soft top - someone say scuttle shake ??

never driven a 968 but there is always a good turnout of these guys on track days and they look to enjoy themselves. CS hold thier value well but not sure id pay 12/13k for an L reg. worth a look.

If practicality isnt an issue i know someone who has a honda powerd Atom for sale ! nearly had it myself but garage is full of crap !
