I'd be getting myself a T3 TS50 (auto) as a daily for around $30k, look for an EL GT in the best condition I could find and budget around $50k and for $20k I'd probably split it between an old Toyota 4runner or Surf or something

Ah yes, XC Cobra, how did I not think of that, so if I didn't get an AC Cobra Id get that.

I guess a T3 goes for the same price as a new Golf GTi, so Id settle for one of those aswell.

You have good taste, im assuming that T3 was manual aswell

R34 GTR V-Spec II, and one of those new Toyota's Advanced Sports Car Concept cars that was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show recently. Hybrid tech v6, 0 - 100kph in under 5 seconds... very nice looking car, and supposedly going to sell for sub $40k

Easy, I'd waltz into Roaring Forties and ask for a GT40 kit. I'd spend the change on all the best options. Then take it home in boxes, put it together, get it rego'd.

Think it just tips the scale at $100k but they said on-road so that might be including rego and such.

PRB Clubman – honeycomb aluminium body (not the South African kit thing that they also sell), external roll cage, no windscreen and a Honda S2000 driveline – the NSW distributor has built a couple like this. They also built one of two specials that were as light as possible with turbocharged Toyota twin cams in them – very good p/w.

And a cheap tow pig – AU XR8 ute or a SAAB 9-5 Aero.

Failing that an Elfin MS8 (I’ve driven a Streamliner but not an MS8). Whatever other faults it has it is still quick.

The new Bolwell is another possibility.

Second-hand BMW M3 with the competition pack…..

I'd get a Phoon and then spend the change on a second hand Range Rover.

Nothing, I have my dream cars, however, I would build one mean ar$e garage!! 10 car garage, hoists, dyno, work shop. And to top it off, make my dream driveway, 1/2 mile long drag strip, 1/4 mile for drag racing and the rest to slow down (including burnout pad) when I collect my mail at the end of the run I'll get my time slip. :

I'll have a ~1990 Detomaso Pantera GT5-S thank you Mid mounted 351 clevo, 5.4sec 0-100kmh, 265km/h top speed... Well, if I could find one for sale, let alone at the right price. Failing that,I'd go bargain hunting for an M3 and a genuine/unmodified R32 GT-R.

I'd spend $30odd on a hardtop and the rest on a VE GTS which I would then proceed to detune and get publicly blown away by as many korean cars as possible.
