I know Robby and I am jealous ,I really cant think of anything that would make more sense as a run-around car in this dream garage! It drives great,looks decent etc...
-Focus RS,Megane RS,you gotta love 'em-
I really wanted to include an old 1987 Fiat Panda and a 1994 white Renault 19 RT in my list! 5 cars aint enough!

GA - just thought as guidelines, to ensure thought went in to choices so go for it mate.... oh, and kids?! you're 24!
They say that a dog is mans best friend. This simple experiment proves this. Lock your missus and your dog in the boot of your car. Return to let them out after an hour and see which one is most pleased to see you....

OK slightly revised list:
911 GT2 in gunmetal grey (the Turbos rear seats are useless anyway)
The Land Rover Defender stays.
Atom's out because we dont have any tracks in Cyprus anyway and in comes the Porsche Carrera GT, because that's so much more practical and easy to drive see and because the noise it produces makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand!
The 8C stays but goes from a coupe to a Spider, all the better to hear that glorious V8.
And out goes the 159 and in comes the Jaguar XF-R in black!
Hows that for a garage?

Well i may have a couple that i'm not aware of as of yet.
Live - good 172 Cups with sensible (45 - 50K, they tend to have lower than year ave mileage) go for about 4K, what's not to like? Bought mine 2 yrs ago for £7000, with just 19K on the clock, from an old boy who had owned as a toy. Debated a Type R (love Vtec Hondas) but the Clio is just nicer to drive, faster, and makes you grin like an idiot when you're in the mood. On the downside, reliabilty bad (lots gone wrong and cost near £1500 in faults in 2 years, including a £1000 breakdown in the summer - on a 45K car!!) and if your not in the 'mood' it can be tiring. Still love it though, what hot hatches are all about.

Good choice Ga41, Alfa 159 is off my list too Jag XF in!..... no actually I dont know,I like them both equal haaaaaaaa
GA - sure about the Carrera GT? You wont see 25! (still adore mind) you'll just have to leave your remaining millions to your mates on Car, it's what the petrolhead inside you would have wanted!
