Nothing at all wrong with dreaming.... I am all the time
Martin, I'm all with you!.
Any current Aston will make it to my garage - provided somebody takes care of that little detail called economics :-)
Should I look at a more reasonable car, I have the
Honda S2000 very high on my list, but since it has a crap roof (soft) I would seriously consider the new (much cheaper)
Mazda MX5. Both are even ridiculously reliable cars, I'm told.
I haven't seen the new MX5 in the flesh yet, - but from pictures it looks good - and it is bloody marvellous to have that folding steel-roof. Mazda's is even the fastest operating roof around. I once owned a Merc SLK 230K which in many ways was super nice, even if it was a bit more comfy than sporty. Loved the roof!
The
Lotus Europa is VERY much down the same line, BUT rather expensive to begin with, and rather cheap a year later (depreciation).
All these cars are two-seaters, so I will need another one, and for city driving (shopping and my wifes commute to work) I would LOVE to own the
Smart Fortwo Brabus. - and to complete the image, my wife would too :-)
Anders: The new C4 Picasso really looks to be a great car ... I could seriously consider this as a replacement for the Espace. Just imagine being "mainstream" and drive a car which is actually imported in this country!
Erik: since you actually curl yourself into that lovely Djet from time to time, you are excused for wanting a huge Saab ... (which btw is a VERY nice car- especially from new). Point taken.
