I'll probably keep the MX-5 as I've just bought a flat.
One thing is for certain though, and that's that Gibbo will talk endlessly about his plans in every thread ever

Well after 10 years in my E46 it's hopefully time to get something new in the next few months. Young family means that a coupe is no longer practical though we've coped well with my wife's fiesta.
At present I'm struggling balance the pros and cons of a heavily depreciating assest I'll need for work/business miles (though low) Vs investments/property and general future security etc.

sell the old banger that i had to pick up other month and buy something more way more fun, but also potentially be somewhat family friendly.
Hopefully pick up the new GT4 and get it before my Le Mans track day. Though the 4 will probably be a stop gap to the GT3, the engine in that thing... spine tingling
Will trade in the 507 for the GT4. Usual set of track days lined up, got tickets to Spa 24 hour and while I'm close, go to the ring for a tax lap in a GT3 RS.

Sell the MX5
Enjoy the s2000
Maybe replace the daily is250 with something v8(gs430 would be epic) or buy a hot hatch.
that's about it.

We're buying a house in the new year, so depending on a) how much space there is and b) how much money we have left over, I'll potentially buy a fun car of some sort to have alongside the Mondeo. MX5, MR2, that sort of thing. An S2000 would be lovely but probably out of budget.
Possibly, wife wants to come too and I'd need to stop at anywhere that has even the slightest hint of whiskey...
Exactly, so it'll take me approx 2 months to do this tripIts Scotland!
I would take my wife too. We did it in 2016 and it was superb.

Maybe drive it. Been a bit of a struggle with commitments, failed repairs and Toyota warranty issues that dragged on for months to really appreciate the car this year. Exhaust too loud to go on any track so trying to find an affordable solution without sacrificing too much power is my aim next year. GT86 will have been mine for 6 years next year and can't think of another car I would rather have, will hopefully get at least another 6 years out of it.
A Euro road trip would have been great but not something I'd want to do on my larry and lack of Brexit securities puts off planning anything. NC500 would be a good compromise for now.

The only interesting post in this thread.

I was thinking about moaning to forum folk about cars I am dreaming about then slagging others off for their car choices whilst posting pictures of metal I would never be able to afford.
All the while crying into my pillow every night swiping through POF and ZOOSK.
On a serious note, still running the Micra and dad car before I can actually get something decent

I will be putting the current car up for sale in the new year. If it sells it sells. I will then buy a common folk car. Something of 4cyl variant.
I’ve hit a stage of my life where fast cars or ‘wants’ don’t do anything for me now.

Try and get my wife to pass her driving test before the next arrival is due in the summer. Then look at buying a newer family wagon. Nothing exciting car related unfortunately so I just have to live vicariously through other people with no children lol.

Change the bushes in the front and may finally get the Polestar map.
