Totally impractical and honestly pig ugly but I love it Brabus G Wagon 😀

But more practical a GLA

This thread was the tipping point. After a five year break, I've gone and bought another 205 😀
Actually after saying Range Rover I thought of another: Ford RS200. I thought that was a beautiful car killed off by too many crashes in group B cars at the time. Now where's that lotto ticket?

Makes me very sad. 🙁

Stylish, immensely fast and room for a mountain bike in the back. It's even 4wd so could probably handle the car park at Glentress. The ultimate estate car, surely?

Wouldn't need to be an R500, the simplicity of these does it for me:

Lotus Carlton
Volvo 850R - in yellow
Polo G40
Citroen XM with all the trimmings
I've wanted a done up Escort Mexico since I saw that episode of for the love of cars.
Either that or something that looks like a classic VW Camper but has all the mod cons and would be practical/economical to use as a daily driver.
For the hell of it :-RS200

A buddy of mine popped round for a cuppa the other evening - he's just taken delivery of his 'dream" car - after complimenting me on the coffee he remarked just how lacklustre he felt pertaining to his new toy - "I thought I'd be a lot more stoked" were his exact words ...
What sort of coffee was it ?

My mum put her Mini through a hedge - she claims it was the first one imported into NI.
Singer Porsche? There's something about chaining a historic car I find wrong, I'd keep the impact bumpers.
Recent crush, not exactly unaffordable or impractical either.

Apart from the fact they're MASSIVE of course 😉
Wider than the current Range Rover (the proper one), wider than the current S-Class, wider than a Hummer H2!
Proper 1275gt's are pretty rare these days and are increasing in price. Im rather partial to a clubman myself to be honest. I see one (could be a replica) most morning during the summer. Hes usually giving it a bit of clog when i see him which always raises a smile.

Our MD has just got one don't know how long the white leather interior would last taking MTB in and out of it though 😀
P-jay, wow! It don't look much bigger than an Elise in pictures!
@Moe they don't look big in pics do they! Almost perfect proportions to look at IMHO, they're not particularly long I think, and of course they're not tall, but they're massively wide! 50mm wider even than a Diablo which is the widest thing I've ever seen on the road!
I'd love one though
My first car (actually, I think it's the only car I've bought with my own money) was an old Clubman. I can't say I liked it - it needed loads of maintenance (eg manual brake shoe adjustment), and I just didn't enjoy driving it. However, they do look great, and I'd love to have a go in one which is running really well.
But we just bought a Yaris 😉
There's something perversely ugly, yet desirable about a '96 993 911
I'm not a 911 fan but always thought these were the prettiest version.
Mine would be the mid 80's Testarossa. Rubbish by all accounts but the car of dreams for me.
RS200 Ford would also work, as would the F40 or 288 GTO, as would the RS500 Sierra.
Although, what I actually covert at the moment is a late 70's or early 80's David Brown tractor. One day I'll learn how to post pictures.
A good friend of mine has an Ferrari FF but hardly drives it. It gets too much of the wrong attention in his mind and he doesn't like to leave it anywhere were security is questionable. So that's out for me (as if I could afford one!)
The Singer Porsches are fabulous (and as expensive as the FF) and I'd coveat one.
Although a Porsche CSR is a more possible alternative
For me it'd either be a R34 Skyline, completely unmodified mind you or Corolla AE86 again unmodified but I'd certainly look to mod it slightly.
The car I covet? One that works.
Id love one of these. [img]

But make do with this for now [img]

Always wanted a Lancia Integrale, about 15yrs ago had the money ready and waiting. Perfect evo found in Yellow, bottled it. Regretted it ever since but in a way glad didn't, should never meet your heroes...
If i was living in the States, I'd get something like this immediately: [img]

Elsewhere, it'd be this: [img]

Stop the press. I may have fallen a little bit in love.
Surely it's the new bugatti [URL= http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h178/stevenpownall/csm_01_Bugatti-VGT_photo_ext_WEB_bc1fbde77e_zpsbtoo23zv.jp g" target="_blank">

Always wanted a Lancia Integrale
Everyone should own one at some point, 😀
I had a red 2.0 HF Integrale for a brief period in 1991, i was only 19 at the time but worked in a garage and i bought it from a customer who chopped n' changed his cars on a whim or whenever he ditched them, It did have quite a fair bit of bodywork damage along one side but i had access to the bodyshop/jig/spraybooth etc so over 6 months i did it up (at trade cost) and ran it on the road for a few months with stupidly daft insurance costs - utterly bonkers car on the road and it demolished the cosworths that were around at the time but the running costs were astronomical and being LHD it was a right pain in the arse as you couldn't sight round corners and certain junctions so i sold it for a decent profit and bought a tired dog of a RS2000 which was so much more fun at semi-sensible speeds.

So, so dated.
Really want one.
De-Tomaso? Pantera?
Always thought they looked nice, but more chewing gum holding em together than a Wrigleys factory...
As a weekend car, this 993 Carrera 4:

If it was being used more often though, the latter 994 (water cooled):
