Re: you've got "50k for a car..and "10k for a new a.v.

I was thinking something like that too, i'm not too sure i would want a 50k car, if i could have an Audi TT (i think about £30k) would probaly be my choice. 20k for holidays Big Smile


£10k system i would probaly just get the 91 pioneer blu ray player and probaly get the 3d extra pack again.

A £10k-20k used car and a £5k A/V system that will do the job. The remainder goes on holidays. Life is too short to waste on possessions.


I can justify that by saying that I had £50k saved for my dream Porsche. I spent £10k on a car, and £2k each on a bike, HiFi gear and camera gear. The rest is in my bank for holidays. I am much happier for it.

If I had to spend it all, I'd get a new M3 with 5 or 6Ks worth of extras (58 - 59k) and then a bog standard AV system like the one I have, with a nice big projector and a screen.  I am not up enough on AV to warrant spending 10K on it!

I'd like to say a Volvo XC60 but really it would be a Nissan Qashqai and a hoiday to Florida so the laddo could see the final Shuttle launch STS134.


As for AV I've no idea apart from a B & W PV1.

Re: you've got "50k for a car..and "10k for a new a.v.

I'd buy my wife a £10 skateboard due to her smashing EVERY car I've ever had since I've known her then blaming me even though on each occasion I've not even been in the car. I'd then come on here asking for some advice on what home cinema kit I should spend the other £59,990 on. Idea
