So whats at the top of the list so far Merlin ??330 CI Sport, circa 02/03

Old man. 
Still keen on a 330ci sport, but I'll give it some proper thought once the Integra goes. No point actively looking around untill present car has turned into hard cash. Waiting game, but I've got plenty of time so no panic.

I have even less soundproofing and that soft top really doesn't help either.
My solution : turn up the stereo.
I changed back to the standard exhaust last week in an attempt to quieten things down. Bored of it now so tonight I'm swapping back and just turning the stereo up.

There is something about people being massively surprised by what you drive/ride.
When I take my lid of and look a very youthfull 20 year old getting off an R6 people are just like WTF! (or if police they ask loads of questions until they realise its not stolen and it is insured, and no it dosent have to be restricted officer!)
your insurance must cost a fortune though!

certainly does. Even better when my mate who is 21, gets the RS6 or Ferrari 550 or any of the other cars he currently has at his jointly owened garage out for a spin, priceless.
Can't explain it, but I do love it! I work hard for my bike though as he does for his garage and we deserve the attention IMO!

I can understand why, I mean being able to drive a car that people traditionally can only afford when they are quite a bit older is an achievement. Many older people aspire to own such cars/bikes yet can only dream about them.
Personally I think you are really an old man in a young lads body and secretly sit at home in front of your computer with a tartan rug over your knees and wear slippers and smoke a pipe. It explains why you like old mans cars, although I agree with your obsession with M5s

Its called living with parents that allows such things

Yes I put performance ahead of so called quality too. Up untill the point where I need to travel from Birmingham to South East London twice a week.
I put the car on autotrader now, can't link to it because of forum rules but if you boys can find it (£14-£15k) - check out my message to canvassers and agents

Found it, Nice... what does FO mean? farly onnoying?
you do realise you will still get plagued by them! I'm still getting it now, I sold the car I advertised abot 4 months ago! 
I'm sure people seriously looking to buy the car will understand but the ad is a little confusing to the casual observer (aka nosey git) like me. The title says that its a 1.8 you then go on to say its a 2.0. I'm sure theres a good reason for it though.merlin said:I put the car on autotrader now, can't link to it because of forum rules but if you boys can find it (£14-£15k) - check out my message to canvassers and agents
Hopefully you won't have to deal with too many time wasters.
