Well the MK Indy is now finished and SVA'd and the TVR is behaving itself so Im bored!
Do I buy another kit and go a bit mental on it or do I sell all my toys and search for something new over the next few weeks? Got a few quid to spend but dont want anything remotely tame! At the moment Im thinking Ultima GTR (middle of the road one with about 600bhp)
What are peoples thoughts?

What would be your budget, or is that a silly question?

Prob about £40k? That would be max tho and obviously I dont expect cars like Ultima's/TVR's/Nobles etc to be reliable so would like to hold some cash back to repair (as I did with the Tuscan)
Def thinking Ultima at the moment tho! Reckon it would prob be more reliable than the TVR anyway as there is fuck all to them!!!!

Theres so many in that price bracket 
Stats for the Ultima GTR are favourable tho:
0-60 in 2.85
0-100 in 5.7
1/4 in 10.6
Makes my TVR sound like a slouch!

I work in construction (dont get my hands dirty tho )
Yeah, my mates have a knack of getting hold of some fast cars, a couple of them are into property and stuff - The lad who had the Lambo Spyder has just sold it to make way for his new LP640............bastard!

The Ultima is possibly the only way you will top a scary tvr for £40k (i'm talking cos' you aint heard of things like traction control etc )
Possibly some sort of twin bike engine kit car

Seen something similar to this at new brighton rally a few year ack. Looked pretty difficult to keep in a straight line even and quite dangerous imo (might suit you )

Great car - I think they are ace but I reckon they would be nearly undriveable on the road! If I was using it only for track days then I would def have one!
