Well, one person's expressed an interest in a part-ex for his S2000 already. Unfortunately, it's outside my price range and, while it looks pretty good to my eye, that yellow colour might be hard to shift when you come to sell it on.

Looks good, but agree yellow would not be my first choice. But having interest shown on the first day is very positive.

And another part-ex offer comes in: Lotus Elan SE. Way too old for my liking, but interesting nonetheless. I'm enjoying this... all except for the bit where you have turn people down. :-/

Wow, this is mental. Another 2 enquiries and the ad's been up less than 2 days. This time it's a tuned TT and a straight take-some-cash offer from a dealer. The latter is most certainly interesting,

Driving the Tank

I don’t normally give cars nicknames. With the Zed, however, I’m tempted to call it The Tank. Not because of its size or muscularity, but as an abbreviation of sensory deprivation tank. Yep, that’s right — and it’s not a good thing. The test-drive concerns I had about the 350Z being too comfortable a car are still with me. Except now, I’ve translated that nebulous feeling of unease into a sense that it simply doesn’t provide enough feedback. Journeys at night and in wet weather can be absolutely exhausting.

Often I’ll end up leaning forward in my seat, as if listening to a quiet friend in a noisy pub. Thankfully, however, it’s not like that all the time. When you put your foot down and hustle it a bit, the car starts talking again. You begin to feel you’re dictating things rather than reacting to them. Sadl...

Candidate: Boxster S

Nearly there with these reviews, honest. Next up, the Porsche Boxster S. So... the Porsche for people who can’t afford a 911. Or people who like to be seen. While I’ve long considered each car I’ve bought as a step on the ladder to a 911, the Boxster had never really been on my radar. Unlike the Elise and VX220, the soft-top on a Porsche felt more like a shop window for hairdressers than a practical ease-of-entry thing. In fact, in general, I’m fairly prejudiced against soft-tops and soft-top owners. But here’s where I’ll reel it in a bit. Last year, a good friend bought a Boxster S... for just £18k. I was, at once, both seriously impressed and hugely disappointed. Rather childishly, I’d wanted to be the first of my mates to own a Porsche. Me, me, me! ;-) Anyway, once I’d got over this and been taken for a drive, I had to investigate further. Turns out I can even fit in a Boxster with a helmet on — bonus! That, combined wi...
