£100K Garage: Ben Carter

See if you can spot the common theme linking Ben's £100K spending spree ... it's subtle!



Name: Ben Carter
Previously owned: Citroen C4 1.6 petrol
Currently owned: 2006 Impreza 2.0 R Sport
On the shortlist: "You may well spot the theme..."


SUBARU LEGACY STI (B4) (2005)
Cost:£9,400
Balance:£90,600
Why I Chose it: "Goes like the excrement off a digging tool and still has room for screaming relatives. And some shopping. And maybe a small dog. If I owned a small dog. Which I don't."


SUBARU BRZ SE LUX (2015)
Cost:£23,800 + £2K for new wheels
Balance: £64,800
Why I chose it: "Impractical enough not to be able to fit my screaming daughter or mother-in-law and quick enough to escape them. Hate the wheels though so would switch them out for something less ricey."

SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 WRX STI R206 LTD EDN JDM MODEL
Cost:£37,989 + £5K for appearance changes
Balance: £21,811
Why I chose it: "A quick and relatively subtle Impreza without a ruddy great wing or huge bonnet scoop. I would change the wheels, wing mirrors and re-spray it though to make it a bit more sleeper/Q-car."


710BHP 2.35l STROKER FORGED SUBARU STI (2003)
Cost:£19,995
Balance:£1,816
Why I chose it: "Every list needs a Frankenstein's Monster and this is mine. Overpriced? Maybe. Mental? Yes. Mean as hell looking? Check. I would probably switch the rear wing out though to a lip spoiler as I quite like rear visibility."

SUBARU IMPREZA (44S) GX AWD 2001 (2001)
Cost:£1,650
Balance: £166
Why I chose it: "The wife will need something to drive and this is cheap and has pink wheels. She likes pink. Plus this is relatively economical and has cheaper insurance. Also it will give me a good laugh to see her driving it around with a very grumpy mother-in-law in tow!

"Remaining cash to be spent on petrol I reckon."

Either this is firmly tongue in cheek or you must live a tremendously boring life.
