I saw some chav in a Corsa try and beat a Jensen Interceptor off the lights in Bradford the other week. Obviously had not the faintest what that old vintage estate thing next to him was…
Think realistically at the moment, the only car I really want to supplement the vRS wagon is either another MX5, another Polo GTI or a mk3 Polo GT.
Early 70’s Porsche 911S, black
like the one Steve McQueen drives at the start of the film Le Mans
suspect I will have to make do with my 1972 Fiat 500 though & just about to embark on the annual battle with DVLA to prove it qualifies for free tax (made in ’72 but registered I ’73)
There’s been an Integrale parked at GT when I’ve been in the past. Looks pretty tidy, and would probably be pretty quick round the fireroads I’d imagine.
When I scrolled down and saw the black Charger that Elliot posted honest to God my heart skipped a beat. I really cannot describe just how much I wanted one of those in 1969/70. I used to buy Hot Rod & Custom magazine and devour every little detail. ‘Course, nine to the gallon even then was pretty daunting… 😯
One of my customers is restoring/modding one of these for someone at the moment. Finished in a more subtle burgandy, with even more power due to bigger V12 and blower he has installed. It had no concept of traction with its original engine in despite tyres well over a foot wide at the back.
As we seem to be going pie in the sky then this is my all time dream car. I nearly got ran over by a standard one of these when on my D of E and I have only seen this version once in real life.
McLaren F1 LM worth somewhere between $4 and $8 million!
Actually quite happy with my 320d wagon. Takes 2 bikes and a weekend’s worth of kit reeasonably happily. Still just about small enough to be nimble. 45mpg and pretty decent handling, although the ride can be a bit crap at times.
Pipe dreaming, I’d love a fully loaded 335d tourer, remapped and with the Birds suspension upgrade, plus someone else to pay the bills.
Oh, and a Lotus Elise 🙂
The missus is after an oldish MX5 when we move out of London – that’s probably a more realistic aspiration!
Recently bought the one I always wanted, an RS4 and its as ace as I thought it would be. Compared to the RS6 its much more fun to drive, sounds awesome and is fairly subtle to look at compared to the RS6.
However, I’ve now got an itch that only a GTR is going to scratch….or a nice 997…
In a more realistic world…I quite fancy a renaultsport clio at the moment, one of the earlier ones (03/04) and then my current road car (’99 ford focus) will be taken off the road and stripped bare and slammed on the deck in preparation for living the remainder of its life being ragged around race tracks 😈
the classic citroens are amazing, would love one but i like going round corners on the level too much. always had a thing about yankee pickups/stepsides and the dodge charger has a place in my heart after watching bullit. the classics are my real love and if i had the money and a garage (hard working on cars in a cellar) i’d aim for a fulvia or a 970cooper but the wife likes this:
