150k Garage Challenge - Vote for your fav now!

[CarMadMike]

We've done this in the past and I think it'll be good to have another game of it, here it goes.

 

 

• You have £150,000/€191300/$238000
  

 

 

• You have to find a link (fairly recent, not something that's been up for years please), to a listing for a car for the following:
  

- Day to day car for you

- Day to day car for your partner (though not with the intention that you'd drive it, just that it'd look good on the drive :p)

- Weekend toy

- Trackday toy.

 

 

• You MUST spend almost all the money, this is to stop 'someone' (Calster) from replying 'I'll have 4 Austin Metros and pocket the change to spend on awful tasting alcohol'. Obvs don't care if you have 5 pound change, but do NOT go over.
  

 

 

• The cars MUST be listed in your mothercountry (I thought this'd make things more interesting)....
  

 

 

• The cars can be new or old, but we'd want to see the quote if it is new from the config page or whatever.
  

 

Happy Hunting!

I'll give it a go...

 

Everyday: Jaguar E-Type, £85,000 E Type Jaguar 4.2 FHC For Sale (1967) on Car And Classic UK [C555815]

2nd Car: Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite, £10,000-£15,000 I would guess Original Mk1 Frogeye Sprite For Sale (1958) on Car And Classic UK [C556204]

Weekend: Austin Mini Countryman, £15,850 Austin Mini Countryman For Sale (1965) on Car And Classic UK [C558559]

Trackday Car: Sunbeam/Hillman Imp, £26,000 Sunbeam Imp FIA historic racecar (LHD) For Sale (1962) on Car And Classic UK [C541586] Alternate: Marcos V6, £30,000 Marcos V6 For Sale (1969) on Car And Classic UK [C557031]

 

£141,000 spent, £9000 left for fixing them when they go wrong.

 

As you can see, I like old british cars and would use an E-Type everyday.

[CarMadMike]

The colour combo on that E-Class :drool: Great countryman too. Your poor partner getting stuck with the sprite though :lol: I'd probably give the wife the countryman and the weekend car would be the sprite.

[Loz]

Besides the Sunbeam, all are interchangable :). I'd gladly drive a Sprite or a Countryman everyday.

 

EDIT: Just noticed the Sunbeam is located in Denmark... Can I use some of the £9000 to import and tax it in the UK?

[CarMadMike]

:susp: Probably not, as that loophole might open the door to other people just looking in other countries and doing the same :p Though I don't want to take the fun out of it by being too strict haha

[Loz]

Found a neat car as an alternate choice then. Marcos V6: Marcos V6 For Sale (1969) on Car And Classic UK [C557031]

[CarMadMike]

Much better choice imo, so much want for that, though after spotting the Jenson in the background of the pics, I'd rather have that haha

 

I'll wait for (hopefully) others to post their lists before I post mine.

[The Compensator]

You really were serious when you said you're going to be much more active, Mike. :O

[hassan1995]

- Day to day car for me - Jaguar F-type £76,990 Jaguar F-Type 5.0 V8 Supercharged R

 

- Day to day car for my partner (Forever alone)- BMW M4 £53,000 BMW M4 2dr DCT 3.0

 

- Weekend toy- £7,995 BMW S 1000 RR That is a toy :nods:

 

- Trackday toy- £12,000 2 litre Turbo Ford Cosworth Westfield (1994)

 

So the spend is £149,985 and leaves me with £15 which can buy me some car fresheners or cleaning product :lol:

[CarMadMike]

Nice Jag but they're my least favourite rims for the F-type, i'd probably spend the 15k swapping them for some other jag manufacturer rims, you all know my views on aftermarket parts :p, but you'd be able to sell the current ones and get a fair bit too.

 

An F-Type R and an M4 and people are complaining I didn't give them enough to play around with :susp: One is not amused.

[hassan1995]

If i had an F-type and my missus had a rusty banger i wouldn't have a partner for long or that jag would I :lol: that is a smart decision.

I'd change the rims too much better stocks available.

[The Compensator]

STi as a track day car, that's a quite unusual choice. Thought they weren't very good track cars, stock-wise. :hmmm:

[Milli]

STi and Evos are really common at track days here. Well, sort of... the rich ones always get them. :lol:

Yah that was the intention, to get a good level of car but not some ferrari enzo or 2015 mercedes AMG, so some thought has to be put into it.

 

I like your cheaper versions, but it's a pity you've done them now as I had planned on doing this next week with a different price bracket :p

You can still do it, so my choices would be even smaller. Sort of...

The spare money would almost immediately go on whatever breaks on the RR before I get home.

 

I think i got a fair amount of car for my money.

:eek: M5, AMG Merc, Ferrari. I gave you way too much money :cheeky:

 

Awesome list!

[Milli]

Opinion on your cars. :lol: There. :cheeky:

 

Seriously, i thought about a Boxster too, but they still cost too much around here... and i like your list Mike, it's very... different. Each car is different. A SUV, a fast station, a convertible and a hot hatch.

Exactly. I probably but too much thought into it though :lol: I chose the SUV as a day to day as it's more luxurious than the rest, more modern, and I'd do a lot of long distances if I had a car. I chose the Estate as well, the RS6 should only come in avant form really :lol: The little hot hatch compliments the rest great I think, something not very pretentious even if it is quite 'look at me'. The convertible was chosen because of how much I love hot weather :p If I lived somewhere that didn't see much sun I'd probably have chosen the cayman as a weekend car (though i'd have had to have had the previous gen for that price i reckon).

[CLR-GTR]

My girlfriends car (she is clumsy so I will be driving it): MB CL63 AMG 40.000 Eur

 

She's clumsy so you give her 2000 kg and 5 meters worth of Merc lol :p

 

 

Nice cars mike (except the abarth because well.... I can't view the page). Imo the wheels of the RR are just on the edge of being aftermarket in their appearance (ah well more brands suffer from that).
