From James May's quote in the OP...I wish I would have taken that bet as I recall an episode on top gear where Clarkson uses James May's actual silver F430 to race a 458 when it came out. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgKjp1pq7iI[/ame]
Both cars would fit the garage nice for you Will. I have a 997 turbo Porsche for the GT stuff. However, I have been tempted to explore the 612, but that would mean selling the 997. The spider I always thought was the best convertible made. I still like it better than the 458 spider.
