Ok, so what do our posters drive, or what do you imagine they drive?

With an imaginery €60k what would you buy?

Me, i'm in a Ford Focus 03 at the mo. Its ok and will hopefully upgrade in 2008.

My purchase:


the Deel Rover

its a volkswagen golf barney sure that wouldn't cost €60k
Crossmolina Deel Rovers
All Ireland Club Champions 2001

The Real Laoislad

My last car was a Audi A4 I sold that to buy a van when i started my own business.
Would love a Toyota Landcrusier if i had 60k to spend

Wouldn't spend that much on it either though

I think that it would set you back nearer 50 grand - ridiculous value for money

Have to say if i had the money i would be going for the new Volvo S40 D5 Sport.

My Landcrusier dream is a few years off just yet...How much you looking for it anyways? Is there a VAT docket with it?

With an imaginary 60k it would be the Vauhall Menaro.
Only a few about NI as it is the American sister company of Vauxhall that produces them but a mighty car all the same.

Ether that or a Audi RS4.
Its all about the Hurling.

I bought what I thought was going to be my dream car last year, a BMW X5. It has give nothing but bother ever since. A nightmare to buy parts for and I will be changing back to a Landcruiser at the earliest opportunity. The aul fella wasnt wrong when he said that anything with an engine or tits will always give bother.

The Vauxhall Monaro is Australian not American. It is actually a Holden Monaro but rebadged as a Vauxhall for sale in UK/Europe. You wouldnt want one, terrible build quality and very cheap interior, but it goes well.


Are they similar to the Holden Commodore? They were everywhere in OZ as were Ford Falcon's.

I don't even need that much money - I would love to upgrade from my current MGF to a Volkswagen Eos  or a Saab 93 Cabriolet.

Sticking with soft-tops/convertibles for a while yet, despite the weather!
