Because of how expensive it is for young drivers these days I reckon when you're actually old enough to drive it'll be a 1.1 Fiesta and 12 months insurance and you'll have spent the money.

i'd wait till your 17 and buy the new focus rs or st at that point. Something that has only just come out, so it will feel exlusive to you.

New type Mustang

There is only three cars I wish to purchase at this point in time;

1) Ford F150 Lightning SVT (just like how it looks )


2) Porsche 2004 911 Turbo 4x4 Carrera (in black, not yellow )


3) 1965-1968 Ford Musting GT "Fastback" - 5.4l V8


Or possibly a Smokey And The Bandit style Trans Am!

The game is, you have 500k to spend on CARS, you obviously already have your £1 million pound home .

911 GT3
BMW X5 V12 (tow car )
Koenigsegg CCR (with wing ).
The change I'd spend on turning the Cossie into a track weapon.

That's my 500k spunked .
