1st world problem I know.....Trying to decide on a McLaren MP4 (£110k) that will get used on a limited mileage basis of 5,000 miles per annum and drive a Mercedes A200 AMG every day....Or buy a Bentley GT Mulliner for around £70,000 that I can drive every day.....Any help appreciated and if you have owned both your thoughts would be appreciated too..I know the McLaren is going to give me a massive adrenaline rush when used but is that worth the tedium of only using it at some points in the year?

ok....There is only about £10k to £15k in it over 5 years so it looks like the McLaren is ahead ( will keep the Mercedes for some business trips and buy a smart car for short journeys...don't want too many short runs on the engine and dings in the supermarket car park) and works out cheaper that just having the Mac....Phew.....who knew man maths was so complicated (but enjoyable!).....Plus the wife prefers the McLaren so there is that!
