    From ebay…

    ’71 Dodge ram.

    Or a more current SRT 10

    only mildly impractical due to huge size and fuel consumption.

    Or how about a Hilux

    I know you said car…but you did say cool and impractical.

    Or what about a Charger?

    Also from ebay.

    unfortunately that campervan is way to pracical, you could fit a bike in it for example.

    Been a 2cv owner for over 20 years so I can recommend them. Buy one with a galvanised chassis though.

    I’d buy something that is easish to sell on and holds its value- oldschool mini 1275, Caterham, actually- the Cateham or the Elise would be my choice.

    Sensible would be a MX5 though 😀

    If I had no kids/mortgage/wife and wanted a fun car:

    But as I have all three, I will just have to dream about owning one 😉

    For me it would be a Porsche 944 derivative – most likely a 968

    My dad wants an MX5, nuff said

    A mini could be cool, but would need something silly like a R1 engine

    ski with that suede finish oh, it would stain badly if you decided to knock one out over the interior 🙄 😯

    Plus the 1.8T Toyota engine is mint in that chassis.

    thisisnotaspoon, I passed my test in a new mini cooper, my first car was a mini cooper (borrowed from driving instructor) and I learnt to drive in a MX5 two years later- it teaches you handling, poise, balance all within your limits- well if you don’t count a few silly moments. Its connected, feel, lots of feel and feedback to you- this is the mk2.5 I’m talking about not the mk3 (although I hear the mk3.5 is more connected)

    <Note to self – must ignore everything thisisnotsspoon ever posts as he thinks a Vauxhall Viva is cool.>

    Now then ‘spoon, I’ve got a lovely Austin Allegro for sale for a grand. Note the state of the art square steering wheel, and the fact that it is shaped like an Alfa Brera. (Squint…in a dark room)

    aP; those Cayenne things are nasty. Proper cheap, inside, actually.

    Comfy, mind. But I don’t get the point.

    Lol, I used to have a 1275 Austin Healey Sprite and never used to cane that through a tunnel with the roof off, just to hear it sing 😉

    It did catch fire on me, and imaced my legs, long gone, but never forgotten 😉

    i keep looking at that ferrari, but i know at the first sign of a country lane my licence would get torn into so many little pices the comunity suppourt officer would need a microscope to charge the magistrate with littering!

    waihiboy, Integrales are really lovely. Just being picky, although I’m not expert that looks like a modded up ‘replica’ Integrale, not a proper one. No Elephant badges, wrong wheels, and the grille and front end generally don’t look right. In fact the more I look at it, the wronger it looks.

    My mate wrote his off in the usual fashion – ‘the brakes don’t work when the wheels aren’t on the ground!’

    Hore: Impreza WRX or STI:

    Hahhahahahhahaha… you think those poxy, modified family cars are ‘cool’, ffs. They are about as cool as Peter Stringfellow. They’re also practical because they are basically family cars with a turboed engine and 4wd system.

    Anyway, they may go fast, but don’t delude yourself that Scoobies are cool…

    RB – those Cayennes are about £12K now, all the good cars I can think of are too expensive FF Jensen Interceptor, Bristol, Alvis…
