She was a honey but the wrong colour at the wrong time.

The interesting ones only in reverse order

Current

RS6 - needed a family car
Mini JCW convertible - needed a family car, but clearly too small!!
TVR Sagaris - one of the best looking cars around IMHO
Lotus 340r - back to basics
Noble GTO - handling of the elise and punch of the skyline
Ariel Atom (shared) - absolute blast
R26R (shared) - Arriving at the weekend

Previous

430 Spider - great noise
360 - even better noise
M3 convertible - previous family car
TVR Tuscan S - quick!! And not as scary as people say.
Evo 6TME and Evo 6 - never thought they were as good as everyone made out. But I still bought another! Go figure.
GTR33 520bhp - monster car, awesome drive
964 porsche - always wanted one and did not disappoint
Elise - fabulous little car
Focus RS - best front wheel drive car, so far .......
Alfa GTA - great engine
Civic Type R - great engine, great gearbox
Boxster - pile of rubbish

And lots of less interesting stuff

How does the M5 compare to the RS6? I was in 3 minds about the "family" car, E55, E69M5 or RS6. An excellent RS6 came along and I went for that.

The 993 turbo is one of my fave looking cars.

the e69 M5 I feel is more powerful it's alot of car but then you pay a higher price and I wasn't too pleased with gearbox judder after after a hard drive!
Overall value for money u can't go wrong with the RS

Errm. Thats some list of cars. I agree on the Sagaris, it is the best looking (if least reliable) car on your list. A guy i used to work with had a black one with a green tint along with black alloys and Emerald green interior. Looked like batman owned it.

What do you do for a living then? Other than swiming in pools of cash of course :sekret:
Now Sold!

'03 Daytona Grey RS6 Avant.
Bilstein PSS9's - bloody amazing.

Mine is spectraflair silver which is amazing in the sunlight, with anthracite alloys (can't make my mind up about them), but I know the green/black colour you are referring to.

I swim in other people's money :lol: , I am a bean counter.
