Owning/running 2 cars is not very sensible financially. A small loans fine if you have the means to repay it & in my distorted eyes 1 fab car is better than a sparkly-rusty nail & a run around.
Last word from me............I think you'd regret it massivly.
If you do get it i'll look forward to saying told you so & have a mild chuckle at your expence.

Not quite paying out 2 tax, ins, mot, repairs etc though are you
Ive done the 2 car thing, scooby & clio it was hellish, didnt save me money & left me hating the commute which would have otherwise been pant wettingly fun if I only had the 1 good car!
ps. That cav's absolute sickness, pea's & carrot spew!! If it was something nice to keep wrapped up at home id see more sense!

I think it looks amazing in that pic, such a rich deep colour
Threw the issue of TV out with the engine spec, but its had a fair bit done has it not? But still only phase2?
So scope for large power

Its got at last 270bhp, engine has alot of internal work IIRC. So could easily handle more with larger turbo and management etc...
as for handing a scooby its arse i wouldnt know itd depend on the scooby id say
