it does sound like fun
but something a little less hungry for wearing parts would be nice.

Plus, my mrs will be driving it some of the time at least, and I'd rather not buy a car that will lead directly to her death.

I mainly just want a convertible, not overly concerned with performance, beyond a certain point, as I'm used to driving diesels.

I'm quite fond of the old Porsche 944 convertible at the moment, particularly as there aren't many around.

What about a BMW 328 convertible? (Cheaper than the 330 and a better drive than the 325)

tempting
and arguably more practical

it's not going to be for a while, particularly as I need to buy a van first

CLKs are cheap now
plus you get back seats. Or do you want a 2 seater.

not reay to rule anything out at this stage
I'm in the long term dreaming phase of the plan at the moment.

expensive parts on a Merc though, plus CLK's have a reputation for dodgy electricals

I'm used to that
the electricals in my car have been done by the Spanish
