I've got the car I want for now.

I guess I'd get the missus a Range Rover Sport, and maybe a CLS AMG Line for work.
And a Delta Integrale Evo 2 in Giallo.

All second hand of course, and burn the rest in fuel!

Can probably just stretch to a used 458 with that. So that's what I'd do.

Fuel, tyres, etc would cost but who cares

A Ferrari. I don't know which one though ;)

I'd have to look at the market and make a prediction based upon what I felt was a good deal at the moment.

The affordable (within that budget) classics don't really appeal to me for the whole 150k budget, so it'd be a 458 Italia or actually, think it'd be a pair of Ferraris as the 458 doesn't appeal to me as much as some of the older stuff..
Pick either of these:

As something modern with an awesome noise and roof down motoring appeals.
So a modern (ish) Ferrari California

Or alternatively, something that looks proper crazy on the roads and hung on my wall as a kid, the Testarossa:

and combine it with either of these - because in Ferrari land, small is beautiful, and I don't think they come much prettier than the F355

Alternatively, I have a real thing for the 348 at the moment. I wasn't a massive fan when I was younger, but since, I've read that they are quite special to drive, and I love the 'stuck in the 80s' Mini-Testarossa appearance.

This of course is assuming some odd world where I get 150k that I can only spend on cars assuming I'd have access to my existing steeds and don't have to include a daily etc, though if that were the case, I honestly think I'd just budget in buying my existing Panda 100HP daily by finding another 3k. I love it to bits. I love the looks, the driving experience, ok the comfort leaves some to be desired.. and what's better than driving a 10 year old Panda when you have a pair of Ferrari's in your garage? ;)

A BMW M635CSI just sold for £100k so it won't buy you much classic car soon!

What???? Madness, I was talking to a guy in the pub the other week who pulled up in one of those. It only had 35k on the clock.
He reckoned it would be worth about 40k but wouldn't sell it regardless. Bet he might if he knew he could get 100k for it!

I'm sorry, but a 635CSI isn't even a £25k car. Whoever spunked £100k on one needs a good hoof in the bollox.

It would be a F car for me, not owned one, so it would tick a box. Had an Espada, don't think I'd have another, I've done the old classic car thing.

So many choices, can't I have more money cos a nice miura SV would be sweet

to be fair, driving any Lambo at speed in the snow would be fairly mental...
