...now as some may think i am a windup merchant....but not always and since my return and the ignoring of certain users i feel i have settled right down..hope you all feel this too.

So you got 50k to buy one car,would you buy a cossie/jap car and mod it to go mentally fast or would you buy an M5 or AMG or Ferrari etc etc etc...try to be honest...would you honestly choose to tune a car rather than buy a current hi tc monster production car which is reliable?

In no way a diss to reyland,yum,rod etc you have chosen the path you want but i can see you being a dying breed (no pun intended!)

 

Id buy a ferrari 355 and DIY turbocharge it if I had 50K to spend on a "toy" car

 

Ł50k for me would be something like a Maserati Quattroporte, or an E55. Yeah they may depreciate like a stone but they are both a real tool comfortable and feckin' fast

 

I would like to think that i would buy a Cossie and tune it beyond belief but i think the honest thing i would do is go and buy some newer monster, an M5 maybe, a Monaro etc with still some money to tune with

 

Monaro would be my second choice, AWESOME car with much potential in the engine.
700bhp is only 10K to achieve reliabley.

 

If money wasn't an option, and I had 50k floating about, then something like this

I like, i like, just not the colour though...

 

Fair point, but that wasn't what Phil asked

 

I nice little Porka Turbo would be high on my list, but seriously I reckon top of the tree would be an Evo, probably a 6 with a LOT of tuning.

I like them that much!

Si

Oh YES!!!

 

lotus carlton for me!

 

thats where my 50k would go

 

Actually, an Audi S8 would be nice too!

 

996 TT

 

think i would spend it on my saff the best thing about them is they are such a sleeper! how pissed off would you be when your on the motorway in your modern 50k car and you can't shake the sierra sapphire on your boot lid!

 

I would have what's already parked in my garage, your price tag wouldn't buy a duplicate btw. For Ł50k you could buy two AMG's and do double bragging...

 

reyland or have a 348 aswell as a saff and 2 bikes

 

have you drove one?

 

would much rather have the escort

 

..and do you realise you'd have 40k change?

 

..so would i,to break and get a 360 ROFL

ok just over the 50k price tag, but sell a kidney, and i reckon i'm there, lol

 

to either fix it or buy a decent car!!!

 

phil,,, hows you getting on with my e55? my friend and i went to look at one yesterday as hes thinking about getting one! 04 55AMG Ł25K

 

just as a change from all the 911's popping up what about this?

With 50k to spend on cars I would buy a 1936 Morris 8 & a 1933 Morris Minor this would set me back about 15k the rest I would give to Phil to try & get his life sorted out.

 

...gareth i love it tbh....i dont normally keep cars long but i think this will stay for a long time it does everything i need as a day to day car...except the fuel consumption...average 13mpg

 

theres always a downside for all the joy LOL

spend the spare grand on a remap. over 300bhp and 600lb ft can be got from it
plus it sounds the tits! Good V8 noise. no diesel clatter and 0-62 in 7secs if tuned

 

ONE LADY OWNER. Not a mark on wheels/bodywork. Not allowed to park in supermarket carparks!!

 

if i was spending 50k on a car i think id want something that was fast as standard, so i could get in it and drive it, and id expect for that sort of money to never have any problems, though i can also see why it would be good to spend 20k on an escos and 30k making it ridiculously fast

bit of a tough one that

 

Husband must have got her well and truely told

 

Would love this Audi RS4 if i had Ł50k spare for a car.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/395458.htm

 

Id have to go for a 99-00 shape Audi RS4 for about Ł20k and spend a bit modding it. Depending on how much is left to what else Id do.

 

or build a mk1/2 to cossy mega spec 500bhp ect

 

Noble M12 GTO and get it tuned a little bit (maybe 400-420 if thats poss on standard internals)
If not, just keep it standard!

and then keep the rest for fuel

 

those wheels are just.. eurgh.
i'd rather have the originals.
