M3 - old shape with twin headlights lhd (as all the legit ones were)
mk2 GTI 16v - oak grn like the one I did have but sold 2 years ago much to my regret.
Mentioned this to the missus and I've still got the Porsche if you know what I mean!!!

A Speed Yellow on black 2wd widebody 964 with a normally aspirated Ninemeister 3.8 for the track. Dark grey BBS RS-GTs.
A Riviera Blue on black 993 C2S for the street.
Orange with black wheels 997 GT3.
Oh wait, you said be reasonable...oops.

996TT
Hell of a car and can be found decently priced nowadays with low mileage
Wait 2-3 years more and even better !

If we include cars I never have a hope of owning, it's probably a Mclaren F1.
Other than that - a 993TT has always been high on the list, although I seem a lot less bothered about going fast these days and that makes it a bit pointless.
On the non-Porsche front, an Aston Martin would be nice as a daily car - Vantage would be lovely, but DB7 is more affordable. I'm liquidating my second house at the moment, and was tempted to look around if money was left over - but am beginning to realise that I will be paying the Chancellor the cost of a decent 964 in Captial Gains Tax. So I guess I won't be looking for anything - thieving bastards!

Vintage racing consumes my wish list most of the time, so:
1. Almost any McLaren with a V8
2. Alfa Romeo GTA, probably a clone
3. Porsche RSR
Street car:
1. New Aston Martin WOW
2. GT3 Mk 2 Prices are getting real nice!
I need an Aston Martin, really bad.

Price is OK, and quite close to me. Now I am tempted again.
