    Think of the insurance :eek::eek: Couldn't justify the cost even if, I would rather buy a field :)

    Fair enough.

    For me...it's cars. I have a big passion for them.

    :o

    But I completely understand that you may decide to spend your money on something that pleases you.

    I have a feeling David. may drive something like this:

    bubbs remember that there is help if you do want to stop smoking.

    Go and see your GP or pharmacist.

    Think of all that money.

    This is something I don't quite agree with.

    If someone has worked hard for their cash all life and they have a big passion for cars, then why not spend £50k, £100k, £200k etc on a great car that they love/enjoy?

    Why not 'show off'?

    :o

    Let me use an example of how someone could quite easily afford a £100k car.

    Millions of people smoke in the UK.

    Let's take someone who smokes 20 cigarettes per day. They started at the age of 18 and now they're 58; a total of 40 years. Some periods they smoked 10/day and other periods 30/day; but their average is about 20/day. (I know of people who have smoked for more years and 30+ cigs/day.

    If you use this calculator: http://www.canstopsmoking.com/tools/cost-calculator

    You can see that their smoking has cost them £100k+ over those 40 years.

    Same can be said for alcohol, nights out etc.

    Now if I choose not to smoke and 'save' £100k over those years, is there a particular reason why I shouldn't buy a car that I have always wanted?

    :D

    I could have invested that money from a younger age and turn it into £200k+, buy a better car, save half etc.

    Just sayin'....

    :cool:
    I am not saying don't show off :cool: I am saying a car costing £200,000 - £1,000.000 is to show off. Are they seriously that much better in everyday life than a £20,000 car as in 10x 50x. What do they do
    I know the stats say it can do 0-60 in x and a top speed of y but when are these people going to do 200mph etc.
    When The Fun Stops Stop ;)
