geordieshandy 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Right, you've got 100,000 of your English pounds* and you're going to spend them on a motorcar. But ha, not just one automobile but three. 1 - A car for every day use, going to the shops, going to the office 2 - Weekend run about for those days when it's not raining 3 - Track car/bike What, which and why? Per me - 1 - M5 =~ 60000 2 - VAuxhall VX 220 Turbo =~25000 3 - Caterham7 1.4 =~15000 *Hypothetically - money doesn't actually exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2846 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'd go to the hypothetical bank and borrow another hypothetical £80k then go get myself an Aston Martin Vanquish S V12... actually I'd probably need to borrow an additional hypothetical £20k to insure the bugger!

It's worth is theoretically £10 until I get the gold bullion I'm due. 57778[/snapback] It's not an IOU since you can't exchange for its worth anymore although it had a value in silver at one time, hence the name 'Sterling'. You haven't been able to for years. You could just as easily argue that you don't own your house/car/etc. since 'ownership' is a theoretical concept. I would argue though that if you have £100k in currency, you still have it no matter where you are. Although its relative value would vary depending on circumstances. Just like the relative value of £100k's worth of silver, gold, diamonds would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
