I'm not sure I could bring myself to spend £40K on a car, even though I'm sure I could finance it. The way the motorist is taxed, persecuted for going slightly too fast and the price of fuel wouldn't let me enjoy it as much as I think I should be able to, having spent that sort of dosh. Fifteen grand or so is a point I've never stepped over and I probably won't ever do it, as far as I can see.

Put it towards a Viking T1 Glider so I can take my kids up when they're old enough. Love gliding and every time I go up it's as good at the first time  :smiley:

....I'd much rather have the Lambo just because of the sound. Those big Audi's are gross unless you have a big family to cart around - Excellent car though.

Anyway, surely £40k won't buy you either.

^^ hmm you might JUST squeeze a 2008 model. I love how inconspicuous it is though ,nobody will know what hit them.
You can ride with the family in luxury or turn it into a monster whenever you feel like it  :party:

The camper vans are part of the rental fleet. Porsche is my weekend toy, and I love it........spend most of the time in the week in my VW Transporter toffee brown kombi 180 biturbo :)

Will probably be able to get a discount on the 35, I did on the 30!

Oli, how long are you keeping the transport fleet/California's before overloading them?
