40k in the car fund

[Chilliman]

(I haven't, but I'm curious) What would you spend it on, on the basis that it had to include your daily driver... 10k on the Chim? (easily done) and a 30k 996 turbo to go shopping in? Or maybe a Cerb or Tuscan for 20k, 5k on the Chim, a 5k Golf, and 10k in the slush fund?

Or make it 30k and forget the slush fund

Only dreaming, but wonder what others think???

Blimey that's a toughie.

Depends if I could keep the Chimaera and then spend £40K. Would probably buy a mint E39 M5 for daily. Then a Cerb And maybe a decent 4x4 for the Mrs or spend the lot on the best GT3 I could buy.

Mind you....a nice 20v Quattro would be awesome.....it's impossible. Perhaps I'm better of skint so I don't have to make such decisions

I am in the process of doing something similar but on a slightly smaller scale. I came into some money unexpectedly (a PPI refund I never asked for would you believe) so had some "spare" cash.

I've just put a deposit down on £25k worth of S&S/Revtech "Harley" that has almost no Harley componenets on it.. 160RWHP, a 280 section rear end, Taylormade wheels, custom everything... It's awesome!

If you have some spare cash in a vehicle fund, don't discount a bike, it makes for a well rounded garage :-) (and takes up less space LOL).

The S&S will be my "Summer" bike, My Victory Vegas will be the "Winter" bike, The Chimaera is my "anytime" car and the TT.... well that's my wife's LOL

or 10k on the car and the rest on sex and drugs...

[Jamessd]

For £40k i recon you could get a lowish mileage 997.2 carrera S PDK. Assuming no family responsibilities then you can't go wrong.

[Jamessd]

Oops, sorry overexcited second post and didn't realise this was the TVR forum...must say I quite fancied a T350(?) a while back...not sure what they're like as a daily driver tho?...

[Julesprivate]

I still think you shouldn't discount a bike :-)

I've been doing that kind of thing for years... (sensible/ necessary purchases, not inheriting!).
