View Full Version : Which vehicle would you spend 60,000 quid on?

Just think about it. Not excluding anything. 60 grand, any brand, any model, any modifications, whatever. What would you spend it on, and why. :)

I myself thought about it... upcoming M5 with some add-ons? AC Schnitzer-modded 7-series? Noble M12? A completely whacked-out R34 Skyline? Import a V35 Skyline (its the japan-only big brother of the 350Z) and totally turn it into a fire-breathing nismo monster?

Then all of a sudden I thought about my fiance, our future family, vacations, out of town stuff, school, groceries, safety, resale values, future business meetings, etc. All that real world stuff...

and soooo... I went with a black 2003 Range Rover. Biggest engine. Since they only release one every decade, I'll be good to go for the next ten years.

Damn ghey choice eh? lol.

Well,

either a TVR Sagaris, Noble M12 GTO 3R - M400 or a Lotus Exige S2 will do nicely, thank you :wink:

2 cars came to mind for me with 60k

1 - a totally re-built and modded mkiv supra TT (no surprise for people who know me on here :lol: )

or

2 - an E46 M3 and with the money sort that car out to be a track weapon and also a street weapon.

My vote goes to a modded Fiat Panda, twin turbo 150 nitrous shot, 305/25 R19 wheels, and a loud exhaust, of course, half of the money would be spent on, neons, fiber glass body kit, a huge Kevlar wing, and as many stickers I can find.
it would kick, your M3 gis, your TVR everso and anything else on it's way

Fiat Panda?! Lol.

If that's the case, I'll go out and get a Peugot 207 and stick a V12 under it, brembo brakes, (cross-drilled too) a mod chip, spoiler, and an all out eibach suspension kit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the V35 Skyline be the Infinity G35 coupe for the U.S market with slight differences in specs? :?

The f355 goes EASILY for more than 90 grands , a spyder can fetch up to 130 ( us dollars)


EDIT --- sorry i didnt read the full topic about 60 grands in quid , so 100 grands is 60 quid , so you can get a F355 :D

Hell yeah. Still thinking of the RS3, but a second hand RS4 is the same as a RS3 (35k) Ohhhhhhh I love dreaming. Pretty certian my next car will be an Audi though. I love the idea of an RS4 'Avant' because of the bikes I cart about.
