AMG GTR. Sold it in early 2022 to prepare for my Summer 2022 Emira delivery .

Can't really remember why I sold it for the Emira but I sure wish I'd kept it for a bit longer!

R35 Nissan GT-R (2012 model year) with Litchfield suspension and stage 1 tune. I have owned the car from new and I will probably not be selling it because I don't believe that I have tried anything more modern that I consider to be better and more fun overall (Emira included). But I am now ready for something new to have alongside it...

That's all? The GT R is a 170k+ car here in the US before options. It normally is at the $200k mark, about 2x what the Emira FE sells for. Definitely one of the best cars that Mercedes has ever sold. It will age very well.

Don't think it's made anymore, so that'd 2nd hand prices. Could be wrong!

There was point in 2019/2020 where you could pick them up for £90k

Oh! That makes sense. There are some older higher mileage GT R's that are at the $140K mark...

That's when I almost bought one and also suffer from massive regret

This year it‘s 17 years now with my Opel Speedster Turbo, which is also known as Type 116. This car told me what lightness can mean and the advantages it has. Still a visceral experience everytime I get behind the wheel.

More BMW owners than previous Lotus owners - Kinda surprised by that one. Still a small sample size... I know we can get more than 70 people to do the Poll!

Given the latest BMW styling, especially the front view of the new M4, then no surprise at all!
