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.
