£100k on 4 Hondas??
are you mad? I'd take a Skyline and then a GTR over them any day, but then, that is just personal preference I suppose.

Since 2000 I've probably spunked about £5k on cars, all shit to drive but you can get 4 kids in them all.

i didn't need 4 seats, we had a VW golf my wife ferried my boy around in
only one s2 was bought from new (you learn that lesson after the first new car)

im including running costs (except petrol) so tyres brakes etc in that 100k estimate and that was over 10 years so i think it is reasonable

i personally don't like the old skyline, too pimpy - i drove the new gtr but aside from being too expensive i dont like effectively having a laptop driving for me. looks good though.

part of the reason i am buying a (second hand) 911 carrera 4 is that is still a proper sports car but i can put the wee fella in a child seat in the back (hes only 4) we also have a VW Passat estate for sensible purposes so im not having my family suffer just so i can ponce around

as someone rightly pointed out further up - why shouldn't i spend my money on something i enjoy? my family are well provided for, my wife doesn't need to work and i have no debts aside from a mortgage

and yes i will be losing my child benefit shortly and no i don't care.

i am probably am mad though.

Hey I'm not denying that the honda's and the porsche aren't good cars
just I would have chosen differently.

my comment wasn't directly aimed at you Kip
there just sometimes seems to be an undercurrent here that unless you're starving in a garret knitting your own soup, then you must by default be a frothing at the mouth fascist who dines on the filthy babies produced by single mothers.
