  • 3 cars to do it all?

    Rather than buy buy one expensive car I was thinking 3 cars would be better. Here’s my list…Dream Content so far.

    1. Freelander (The new type, for wife and general family duties)
    2. Alfa Brera (Wanted one for ages, just for fun and always clean)
    3. Van (not sure which probably a bongo with a roof tent, for the bikes)

    What say You.

    1. Porsche 911 carrera 4
    2. Double cab pickup of some sort or other
    3. Small family car for sensible stuff.

    Just the porka to buy then.

    If money wasn’t a limiting factor:
    1) RR Sport
    2) BMW M5 Touring
    3) Aston DB7

    Now back to down to Earth realistically it will be a 330d or 335d Touring one size fits all this time next year.

    Does most of it – work vehicle, bike carrier, top end family motor with all the toys, performs like a ‘warm’ hatch. Don’t get me wrong, I’d have three specific sorted motors given half the chance, but this one don’t do bad…

    top end family motor

    Is that really your idea of ‘top end’?

    I despair.

    Ok, middling then Flashy. Granted a Merc, Porsche, or Bentley it ain’t – not a lot it wants for in gadgets and comfort though.
