A 30K Maserati Quattroporte as the daily smoker

And a 7k e46 M3 stipped and prepped for the track with as many goodies as 3k buys me smile

Edited to say the 'porte would of course have a towbar and tow the M3 around to each track. Coolest towcar in the world?cool

I think i'd have to go with an '3-car ///M Garage'

E46 M3 Coupe
E36 M3 Convertible
E39 M5 Saloon

...all blue. (Estoril/LeMans)
I think my version of that would be more like this, I think it's just about possible too:

e36 M3 Evo
e39 M5
e63? M6 potentially convertible

I'd struggle to see beyond the car the OP mentioned (996 GT3). £40k is quite a bit of cash (for those of us who don't have multiple directorships), so I'd want something fast, rare, useable and, significantly, something that might get me the bulk of my £40k back, should I need it.

Well just to respond to the flames licking at me feet.

Forum says general gassing and is often off topic.

The forum post says what would you buy with 40K.

My answer is if I had 40K i'd put a deposit down on a house.

It doesn't mean I don't like cars or contribute to other posts.

... and just to get in with the spirit so I don't come across as a totally miserable b*stard (possibly too late)

If I had some money left over I would replace my sorely missed British racing green MGB GT with harvest interior, motolita steering wheel and rostyle wheels

I'm guess i'm just one of those people that isn't a dreamer... maybe a bit more practical. 40K is not the amount of money I ever envisage being able to spend on a car.

forum post actually said:
So hypothetically if you had 40k to spend on a car / cars what would you buy ?
Anyway...

Elise (£15k)
Stag (£10k)
E46 330 (£5k)

Save the rest for now, see what I fancy later...probably a 4x4.

Took the thread out of my mouth. This is something I'm actually doing.

2000 Ferrari 360 (my first choice)



2007 Aston Vantage

OR

High mileage 997 GT3 for £40,000.... come on! A man's got to dream... There was one on 50,000 miles for £49,000 from a dealer. There must be one on similar miles for £40,000 privately. Call me!
