Default £40,000 on a car but which one
As above ,
If you had £40,000 to spend on a car alone what car would you choose, would you stick with subaru or go down a different road?

I would keep my Scoob and go to Roger Clark for a nice spec engine. Then spend the change on petrol, tyres and women.

do it all again and again and again and again and again and agan

then bugger off to Spain

SORTED

Ferrari Testarossa - yes, I know they are actually rubbish, very unreliable and a nightmare to drive, but £40K will get you a nice one, and can you imagine waking up every morning, looking out the window and seeing it there ?

Very mad choice would be a Radical SR3 - would love to pull up in Tescos to do the shopping in one of them !

Have you won the Lottery or something? or is this just a wish list?

Like the type 25 and the R34, wouldn't buy an RX8 if i had that sort of money.

How about one of these:
Foskers : Ferrari 355 Spyder
Ultima : Ultima GTR 546Bhp
not really a fan of Porsche but this is nice:
Porsche : GT3 Mk1

Nissan : r34gtr v spec
Atlantic Sports Cars Limited : ASC DOMINATOR MUSTANG

1967 Shelby GT 500, doubt you'll get one for £40k though, they seem to go for between $100K-$200K

Would never consider a V SpecII when you could have a Z Tune instead. The ultimate Skyline IMO, produced by Nismo and only 20 in the world.
