If you had £30k available to waste what would you do:A) spend the 30k on an Aston Martin, tvr, rs4 etc  spend a big wedge of the 30k on a car and the rest on a new garage to house your new carC) spend 13k on a project 10k on tools and garage equipment and have a few other cheap cars to play with I guess it's a bit bias in here as most of us will modify a car rather than buy an off the shelf car! |

But what's the point in having the car if you don't have the equipment and facilities to maintain your 30k car |

I think option A would be for a "look at me" kind of person, option B is someone who likes cars but wouldn't know how to change a light bulb and option C is like most of us "look at me, I'm broken down but it's ok coz Iv got a garage and tools to fix this French heap  |

Jimmyrallye hit the nail on the head.If I came into 30K now, I'd put it in a house quite frankly every time, given that you could save yourself the same again in interest over your mortgage period. This is coming from someone who actually has a TVR and a LBSC Rallye. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |
