... what would you get?

* Cannot go over £30k
* If you didn't spend it all you wouldn't get the surplus
* It can be new/used
* You can use some of the money to modify it

I would get...



for around £20k then tune the fuck out of it up to the £30k limit

*Makes note of how many people will say a project corsa *

Also IT cannot be the car you have now... although you could choose to buy the same car but you don't get £30k to spend modifying your current car
