What pair of cars, if you were a bit richer
« on: 26 October 2016, 18:04:10 »
Any single car is a compromise IMHO, so if you could afford, say, a pair of £20k 2nd hand motors, what would it be?

I'd go something exec, and possible a 2 seater or nice coupe for more sporty fun.

No idea what though!  The exec saloon would probably have to run on lorry fuel though :(

Probably a Monaro type thing, preferably with LPG, then a second really small run around, but may have to be Estate or even a half decent Van.  :-\

Pity you have restricted my spending, because although not practical, I would LOVE a 4.5 litre supercharged Bently for posh - in BRG, of course!  8)
Then, with my sensible head on, the bestest Omega estate that I could find, with ALL of the work done on it and onmly the driving left for me to do..... :y

I was thinking a diesel XJ can be had for under £20k, and looks a comfortable place to crunch miles, but not been in a new style one.

I'm still stuck on the 2nd car. I think I'd want a roof though.

Just thinking about that blown Bently...
No need for ANPR cameras; after all, how many are there around now?
On the plus side, no peaked cap with even the vestige of a soul would contemplate putting a ticket on it - he would be too busy drooling over it!
