£100K Garage: Niall Walker

Another fresh-faced PHer starts building his dream fleet early

Name: Niall Walker
Previously owned: None (I'm 17!)
Currently owned:VW Polo (Mum's)
On the shortlist: "A Ferrari, a Beetle, an Alfa, a Japanese Hero and something classic and RWD (Civic Type R or Nissan Skyline GTR). Sadly these two missed the cut."

Ferrari F355 Berlinetta
Cost: £49,995
Balance: £50,005
Why I chose it: "As a passionate Ferrari fan I wanted a 355 but although they have rocketed in value, that didn't put me off choosing this bad boy. It may not be red or RHD but this yellow stallion with its gated shifter (apparently) is good enough for everyone. This counts as a classic too!"

Mitsubishi Evo IX Fq-360

Cost: £16,995
Balance: £33,010
Why I chose it: "This is one of my all-time dream cars. I've wanted one since I played Colin McRae Rally 3 on my PS2. Those were the days. Anyways, this car has had a few tasteful mods and an anti lag. What more could you want?"

Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe
Cost: £29,950
Balance: £3,060
Why I chose it: "I said I wanted a Beetle didn't I? I decided to go all out with this one. Yes it's only got 272hp but it has got little mileage and a six-speed manual. It also says Porsche at the back which is weird... Besides who needs a targa when you have a sunroof?" [Unfortunately Niall's Blue 993 was sold but we have replaced it with a green one with very similar spec - NA]

Alfa Romeo 147

Cost: £2,495
Balance: £565
Why I chose it: "I obviously need a daily so why not do it in style. Yes it's a diesel but it gets good mileage and it has been to the moon and back but it looked good while doing it. You'll even look good at the side of the road when it breaks down.

"To be honest I haven't got any idea what I'll do with the remaining £565. It won't pay the insurance,the car tax or the VRT when getting these home into Ireland. Ah well, I guess fuel prices are on the rise and that Alfa could go at any second."
