Sports car 2008...the plan!

I WANT or rather need a sports car.

However, before I throw myself into a 5sec 0-60mph car I thought i better improve my driving skills and prepare for such a thing.

I'm thinking for my bday (June ages away) I'd ask for one of those red letter days. But until then what else?

Hey...cheers for all the advice.

I completely understand your logic but can't really work my way up. As I haven't the money at the moment but will do then. I'm travelling till Sept this year. Then going back to "school" for a year. The Sept 2007 starting my actual job, thats where the money comes from.

I have driven my Mum's Saab Turbo, which is porettyd amn quick, and was fine in that. But it is a well balanced family saloon, not really a wild sort of car.

I want a sports car asap, as I truly believe the time to own a sports car is when your young, free and single. Not old, married, and bald. Granted there are insurance and maturity benefits and driving experience that comes with owning a sports car later in life.

So Red letter days...are a no.
Car limits is good but I would need the car, and it seems reasonably expensive for the use of your car, tyres, fuel, and I presume insurance. Those teachers seem pretty damn expensive. However, I am sure many of you will say that they are worth the cash.

Any other advice?

Thanks a lot guys IAM seems an excellent idea and cost sensible.

I have been thinking about car costs etc, and may have to scale down a bit for the £20k. However, I am sure I will be able to sort something out, be it slightly older or whatever!

Sorry to be a pain, but do you mind taking the private plate debate to another thread.
