you just got the saxo and now your looking for something else?

if you get a turbo mr2 as a base car it won't be a slouch... just don't fit a Dump Valve.

Thing I've noticed is most replica's are not on decent wheels and not lowered enough. but with the interior etc - it's a nice car anyway, regardless that it's not a real ferrari.

Saying that though you can pick up real ferrari 355's for £30,000 these days (I wish I had that much haha) - but why spend £20k for a fake

Probably servicing and insurance costs. Even though they look similar insurance must be a hell of a lot cheaper on a Toyota then a Ferrari.

A guy down here with a real 355 parked up next to a MR2 conversion, got out, stuck 3 or 4 toyota badges over his car and buggered off. The MR2 owners face was a picture
