Thanks for the welcome and good wishes guys and especially to Gareth for the links...

...now for some solid reading.

Cheers guys. Looks like my quest for knowledge is about to begin.

Does anybody know of any dealers near East Sussex who trade these cars and might let me have a test drive?

Hello, just like to say from first looks this looks like a really good site. That's it, creeping over!

I don't know if I want to be a Soarer owner or not - it's the only one that takes my fancy, the V8 version that is. I know I could spend a few weeks looking through old threads for info but life's too short. There seems to be a lot of technical knowledge out there so I would like to pick your brains if I may.

I'm after a car to drive as my daily car. I don't fix, wash or polish, just drive. I'm not too fussed about the luxury items (sat nav, tv, ICE etc) but I do want a car that will handle and go faster than a very fast thing.

Can someone point me in the right area to find out about:

V8 versions / specs - Jap vs UK

Typical mods that are often done

what to look for when buying

Will the car spend most of its life on the road or in a garage?

Any issues with insurance (East Sussex)

I must admit, I've got a couple of other cars I'm considering so any helpful info / advice will be appreciated. the others I'm looking at are Supra twin turbo and Jag XKR. My current car (which sadly has to go early next spring) is a Cobra replica - just don't have the option of leaving it at work without some tw@t pawing all over it. I'm sure the Soarer will appear more under-stated and less of a target.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and (hopefully) thanks for the feedback.
