Only one? Am torn between

Saw the new Range Rover Sport today in the local Land Rover. Showroom. awesome lookin machine. Be very high up on my list if money was no object.

Diesel Golf

* non car fan exits thread 🙂

Always liked these but am very dull when it comes to cars - given that I could afford something somewhat more exciting than my Roomster 😆

Loads to choose from, probably one of the following

The Merc SLS is a great call 😀

Maybe one of these aswell

[img] [/img]

Mini Coupe Works

Or a souped up Juke.

[img] [/img] Actionmobil Motorhome

[img] [/img]

difficult cutting it down to one - but this makes a pretty good manhood extension - even comes in bellend purple 🙄

I'm thinking along the same lines as VanMan there.. 😀

[img] [/img]

but if someone put a gun to my head and said it absolutely had to be a [i]car[/i] then..

[img] [/img]

buzz1024, thats a great shout!

Just one? 😕

I guess it would have to be something practical. What I'd really like is 5.0SC Range Rover Sport, but with a Discovery 4 body shell so I don't look like a .............. well like a Range Rover Sport driver 😉

Pre kids I might well have gone for the ActionMobil/Unicat, or maybe the Gulf GT40.

A Honda fannymagnet

A custom specced carbon bodied one of these:

But my memories of proper bus ownership are not great - so I pick up a T5 camper tomorrow 😀

😳

My second car would be the most beautiful car in the world.

[img] [/img]

Dreamworld

[img] [/img]

Reality

[img] [/img]

In reality, I'm probably going to settle for one of these

[img] [/img]

Not many of those will have a bike in the back, and for that reason they ain't no good to me.

RS6 Avant

Would keep the current ones and just update the drive chain, brakes etc with other silly powerful VAG stuff and keep them looking stock 😀 and fit air con in the T4 😉

Stoner - I got to drive one earlier this year. On my wedding day not only did my new father in law let me take his daughter but I also got his car for the day too!

[IMG] [/IMG]

[img] [/img]

Born in 77, has to be this:

[img] [/img]

Would have to be an Aston of some sort, just not sure which one yet.

Although one of these would be fun to play with while I decided....
[img] [/img]

or perhaps this....
[img] [/img]

Just a lovely thing.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Having had the pleasure of the "basic" one in my callow youth, it would have to be the ludicrous Zagato version:
[img] [/img]

crsipo - hand back the wife and elope with your father-in-law's car! 😀

This is my father's.
Much as I love looking at it, I cant fall in love with it as I cant fit in the damn midget wagon!
[img] [/img]

It has to this for me - [url= http://www.alfaholics.com/our-cars/current-builds/gta-r-project-270/project-270/ ]Bertie[/url]
Watch the vid 😀

I saw one of the DB4GT Zagatos at an exhibition in Portland OR a couple of years ago. It was drooltastic.

joolsburger - I had forgotten how lovely the Ace actually was, although I do still like it's muscly big bother as well.

IOf it's a 4x4 you're after thern its gotta be a g wagon

McMoonter, that's a stunner! What is it?

Mine would be......

Woolf Barnato's Blue Train Bentley

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Train_Bentley

Always loved a big Healey, but Stoner's dad has got there first tonight. I'd have mine in ice blue over OE white though. So if I had to choose another:
[img] [/img]

Isn't McM's a Bugatti, would love one for the style, or a big Hispano-Suiza. If I had to go Yank, either a Cord or a Delahaye. One car is as daft as one bike.

Edit: cross posting with McM, it's a big Bentley

Damn, just one? If it had to be one car, it would have to have practicality as well as being quick, and the new Range Rover Sport pretty much ticks all the boxes.
If not, then the Sport, that MAN expedition truck for jaunts abroad, and maybe that Mono single-seater that Top Gear had round their track for shits and giggles. 😀
I might be tempted by this, the Audi Nanuk:

[img] [/img]

5.0ltr V10 diesel, 540bhp, and 1000Nm of torques.

Probably the Ferrari FF for me. A friend has one and it's a lovely thing. You can fit a bike in the back too.

old or new one - i'm not fussy

The Alfa 8C above is certainly damn sexy, and I could quite covet one of those, too. Beautiful car 'in the flesh', as it were, too.
Of course, if money was [i]truly[/i] no object, then this little beauty:

[IMG] [/IMG]

The plate alone would probably fetch the price of a decent house, but after owning the car for forty years, I'm sure it's current owner would be very reluctant to part with the car. Difficult to imagine what it would fetch, really, with its history; a similar one, in metallic green, built for, but never driven by, Sir Stirling Moss, and never placing at Le Mans, went for $35 million, apparently.
It's owner also has an 8C, too. As well as the yellow racing Daytona behind...

I was going to say a Morris Minor Estate on Jag running gear, but CFH has found the car I need

[img] [/img]
/p>

only I want it as a kit and with one of those nice supercharged boxer 2 stroke truck motors...

Oh, and in BRG until next Sept, at which point it would be painted Ecurie Ecosse blue...

Is surprised you were not related 😉

CZ: I 'cruised' alongside one for a few miles in M6 traffic a while ago..stunning car. The driver seemed quite happy to be alongside my 159ti too, gave me a hearty flash as he floored it when the traffic cleared...the barsteward 😉

Ferrari 360 Spyder (honestly!! Love them!)

[img] [/img]

Currently? Porsche 911 Turbo S. 560bhp, 0-62 in 3.1s, 0-120 in 8.3s 198mph top speed, 30mpg and £260 tax and 4 seats.

Seriously, what more could you want?

[img] [/img]

McM, I have one fairly well known aristocratic racing driver in the family line, but not him!

Epicyclo, if you resprayed that, I would have to hunt you down and kill you to death!

Couldn't narrow it down to just one.
I'd have a Lexus LFA for the sound
A Jaguar XJ220 for the looks
A Bugatti Veyron Super Sport for the speed
An Aston Martin Rapide custom built estate for practicality
A Ford Sierra Mk1 XR4i (not 4x4) just because I could
Probably loads more, but that'll do for now.

Citroen DS. Or maybe either a coupe or cabriolet Traction Avant. All other answers are incorrect. Except 205 Mi16 - I'd settle for one of them.

I would be considering this

[img] [/img]

But would probably buy this

[img] [/img]

It would be my '96 Seat Ibiza with a couple of mis-matched panels, rusty wheel arches, plastic hub caps etc.

Underneath the bonnet I'd shoe-horn the biggest engine I could find, with the biggest turbo i could find, with the biggest NOX injectors I could find, uprate the brakes and suspension to the extent that it would give anything else on the road a run for its money.

Or a Citroen C4 Picasso

wanting a stock production car is a slight lack of imagination perhaps?

Stevied, it wasn't this one, was it?

Yum!

Sorry it's not an Ace it's a Ferarri 212 Barchetta but the Ace is a beautiful car too!!

That Alpha is gorgeous! Except it would conk out every 5 minutes, which is a shame.

This for me,

I need to be able to get the bike & plenty beach fishing gear in as well.

And I'd use it every day

Essel - not quite the RS6, but I got my new car today - a 3.0 tdi V6 s-Tronic S-Line Black edition A6 about 4 hours ago 🙂

As a kid I always wanted an EB110... Would be tempted to scratch that itch rather than the VW Corrado I always liked the shape of... Then again, a TVR Tuscan...
[img] [/img]
No, the Bugatti.

[i]Essel - not quite the RS6, but I got my new car today - a 3.0 tdi V6 s-Tronic S-Line Black edition A6 about 4 hours ago[/i]

Did you pay cash for it? Cos if you didn't, I'm not even slightly impressed. & if It's a company/lease car then I'm even less impressed.

Tracker - I didn't think for a minute anyone would pick that, but that's my fave as well, though is SS guise for me. I've been in one but never got the chance to drive it 🙁

[img] [/img]

Did you pay cash for it?

Go on then 😉

[img] [/img]

Having had the priviledge of driving numerous Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and Maseratis in the name of work, wouldn't want any of them, so impractical and the amount of looking at from people, not to mention the constatnt camera phones, they just aren't my bag.

So it would have to be a derestricted M5 touring, very capable and space to move a bike or two.

Something along these lines for me.
