Title: What car would you buy if you had ten grand spare?
Post by: Bent valve on 01 August 2009, 20:57:02

 I personally would buy a 95-98  Mercedes SL 500 that has been very well looked after, after all it would be a much more environmentally friendly proposition than say, a new Fiat 500. But what would you buy? :)

If I had 10 grand spare, I would sell both my Omega's and get on with breaking the third mig...

And buy a newer mig for around 2-3k.

The rest I would put in a pot for a house!  :y

A late Omega 3.2 Elite, and with the change I reckon I could buy
        2 pairs of JimmyChoo shoes
       20 pairs (enough for six months use) of standard shoes
       10 Skirts (some from Monsoon)
       20 Tops
         2 gold braclets
         1 gold necklace with diamond pendant
         A whole new set of cosmetics
         1 week in a health spa

Well why not!!!   Who wants to waste all of £10,000 on a car?"!! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)
