If you made £1m a year in salary (per-tax) and had your house paid for, what would you drive as a daily driver and what would be sitting in your garage (let’s say 2 parking spots)?

I'd have to think, as I would need to cut back a bit.

I'd get a moped for a while as I couldn't deal with only two parking spots.

Beat me to it. I also await the londoners with $1m+ properties and can only dream of a parking space.

Their £1m properties wouldn't fit a car inside their footprint.

A new Land Rover Defender and a McLaren MP4-12C...probably a strange choice but I loved them when they came out and still one of my all-time favourite cars.

We can afford lockups for anything interesting wink

Interesting question, probably nothing much different to what I will buy this year in a Macan, speed bumps ruin everything else! But maybe I’d have a Ferrari in said garage, 812 plz.

Not sure quite how the maths would work out, but I think my current ideal would be a GMA T.33 for fun, and a Taycan Sport Turismo daily.

I’d send my 996 C4S to be restomodded
991.2 GT3 engine and 6 speed manual
‘double bubble’ roof
Lexus Structural blue
Comprehensively reworked interior
Electronically adjustable dampers

For the daily… a Range Rover L322 restomod
Or maybe Aston DBX 707

Probably something Merc 6 cylinder diesel hybrid waft along mile muncher.

Accompanied by something Bowler obnoxious and growly for slidey roundabout shenanigans, taking gnarly country road and byway liberties and wobbling around trackdays with a grin ear to ear!

Sounds fun - I assume you're aware of the Bovingdon-Litchfield "996.3"? https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I already have them, a 2016 Fiesta, a 1963 Riley and a 1965 Riley so I'd buy a house with a three-car garage, have the '63 upgraded to rally spec, the '65 re-assembled as a street sleeper and the Fiesta washed.
