Yeah not bad that, I sold my arctic blue cup packed on 80k for £2800 last October to help fund my Daytona.

I wonder if I can hide the cost of a new one with my accountant?

Definitely sell the Daytona and get a better bike.
Forget silly hatchbacks, if you're having a fun car get a proper one like a Jag S-type R

The fun factor of a clio 182 is second to none based on the small outlay, ask Darren.

if i want excitement i'll take the bike out. i have driven a loooot of fancy fast cars in my time and they still dont compare to the felling of a motorbike...
Who cares about economy? I drive a WRX that only returns 25mpg but is fun to drive when traffic allows. And as I am retired, I can go out when the traffic is light. Or I can take the SV out. Best of both worlds.
