Great write-up! I just started doing this same thing. Except the car I bought was a 1991 Honda Beat for 6,993 cr and that was with update 1.09 installed! Right now, I am at lv 12 a-spec. And my garage only has three cars, the go-kart, the beat and the lotus elise type 72 won from doing Top gear challenge intermediate. I haven't even touched the license tests yet!
