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!

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.

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...

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).

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).
