Lord Opti's £10k Mid Life Crisis Car
« on: 18 January 2015, 23:14:21 »
Lord Opti's cash is burning a hole in his pocket and he's feeling the urge to spend it on a flashy car that should turn female heads.  :) 

He's going to keep his MV6 so it dosn't have to be practical, but it does have to be suitable for a daily drive (ish).  £10,000 is his budget and it will probably help if it has potential to be a money pit!  :D  ;D 

So lets help the poor old fella out with some suggestions.  ;)  Here's mine.  :y

A 928 would add an extra whiff of desperation. And most of them were automatic.

If he wants to burn notes then get a Range Rover.

If you want comfort and a big smile then I highly recommend a supercharged Jag!

I was under the impression that ALL 928s were a potential money pit  :y

O.K then......where to begin? ;D

The 911 is a Beetle in a posh frock.......so no. :-\

The 928 is good. This is a maybe. :y

As for The Range Rooney. I don't live in Cheshire or Chelsea for that matter, where it's legendary off-road capabilities are never tested by the Gucci clad WAGS who drive them. So no. :-\ :-\

Ah...the supercharged Jag. I could be tempted by one of these. Subtle yet accomplished. A real sleeper. :y :y :y

That would spoil the image for me the rest of us.
Seriously, a 928 is the only Porsche that has any appeal to me, but an XJS easily overwhelms that. An early one for the full effect.

I was looking for a Lotus Esprite but they're all out of Lord Opti's £10,000 budget, so how about this:-

That's a better prospect than that TVR that caught Optis eye :y

If a 'Saggy Jag' is Lord Opti's thing, then this would look nice on the crunchy drive and could be an appreciating future classic?  :-\  :y
