Default 1 car, £50k budget, what would you have?

as above what would you choose?

rules are it has to cater for your life as it is now, whether that be commuting, taking the family around, off roading if your into it, track days, etc.

Think mine would be the Nissan GTR.




Remember, 1 car, £50k budget, can be new/used, doesnt matter, and put a picture up please as well.

No real reason for this post, other than I hope it'll kill the last couple of hours at work.

Assuming I could afford a 50k car so running costs wouldnt be an issue lol
ONLY 1 car for me and the missus to share. Realistically it would have to have a boot for the dog, shopping, going away etc so....

Nissan gtr in either normal form or vspec, absolutely adore them

I know this is a ford forum and I love old skool fords myself, but I'd be thinkin of other cars to have rather than escorts or sierras

I'd love an old yank though

I would just hold out and try to find a gallardo in budget although not many go that low, but might be lucky. Would love a 6r4 metro for weekend blasts but I think they would be over budget
It's nice to dream, but am happy with my collection really and would cringe at spending that much on a car.

PMSL Matt, if you read this, you're being mugged off

For me, it would have to be the iconic legend that everyone should own



What a car!

Then the rest of the money would be spent on the best possible parts for it, and rust prevention of course
