MateloT,
I understand where you coming from and I dont think no-one can reasonably compare a Merc SL55amg and an A3 3.2 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
completely different cars in every way!
the SL is more.... well everything (money, perf...) except space.
Anyway I am very far from a technical driver neither. and i mean not at all. it took me a while to understand how to drive a quattro in corners and I am still learning so much! and that's what i described above as fun
to answer your question, as Yak said , I am going back to France so need a LHD car.
For the moment I am torn between 2 choices:
1- get an old (late 80's) 911 (964) C2 or C4 cab, or if budget allows still an old 911 but the 993 early 90's. I have seen some nice LHD 964 C2 cab at around 16k. that would do me nicely. I could buy it in the uk and then "import" it thraight to France when I move back
2- other option is get an old diesel for run around and get a car for tracks and fun. There I am not decided at all but it could go from a renault turbo 2, delta HF integrale to a caterham, or kit car like an ultima
but all that will be for later as I first need to sort out job, house, location in France.....
