Ill start shall,
My ultimate car would have to be a 1969 7.2l v8 hemi dodge charger r/t, in jet black with the two white stripes at the back.
Second car would have to be a Mk2 Ford Granada saloon with a 2.8l carburettor 5 speed manual in dark blue and a set of 15 inch rostiles on fat wide rear tyres.
Lastly id like to get a 2.0L pinto Mk1 Ford Capri with a set of 14 inch rs wheels in red.
I no ill probably never get them
but a man can always dream ay?

Funny as the cars you desire would be the ones i would least want

Ford Granada and a Pinto`d Crapi ! ? Are you serious

Each to their own mate - you are more likely to be content one day than i ever will be judging by your selection.

I forgot to add an old beetle and a General Lee replica dodge charger.. with dixie horn

So to put them all together; bowler nemisis, classic Porsche RS, blower bentley, R32 Golf, Mini JCWS, Ferrari 250 GTO, Alfa 33 Stradale, Old VW Beetle and a General Lee dodge Charger

what are you on about?
Youve got all these people who want these bugattis, ferrairis and lambos, and im willing to bet everything i own that if somthing went wrong with them it will be somthing thats electrically linked, cwilson will back me up on this as me and him have had first hand expeiriance with these new cars which are easier to use, these new cars have all this traction control and sport settings and its all electrical, you get a grananda or capri with the 2.8l or pinto and its basically turn them on and off, these new cars are so complecated its not you driving really, you may be able to do all these cool looking wheel spin starts but thats mostly the cars electrical system showing off with its sport starts and everything, dont get me wrong it is nice to have that sort of thing but a pinto engine would be so much easier to fix than lets say the latest ferraris fashion designer engine lol

So what your saying is, what cars do you dream about fixing ???


My answer is none, thats what i pay the garage for, if i wanted to fix cars i would have trained as a mechanic.

Now restoring a car or building a 1 off or a kit car is a different story


I`d be quite content with a Gallardo right now

I`d be quite content with a Gallardo right now

Just the one Lee??? LOL not a hard top and a convertable maybe........

LOL - I dont doubt that vehicles of the Ferrari genre are more complicated than your dream 25 year old Granada. Its called 25 years of progress
You could go and get your "dream" car for less than the price of your RC car setup !
Next time i bump into Lewis Hamilton, i`ll make sure i tell him that his car is driving itself due to the technology
Working on a Ferrari would be a pleasure , but id want paying to work on a Granada............................ and a disguise to drive it

what im really trying to say is that if you got a ferrari you would end up with a problem which is 9 times out of 10 an electrical problem, im not saying there crap, i like them but i just prefer the older stuff to these new boys toys lol

Me, I'd have:

BMW M3 CS (in blue)
Audi RS6 Avant (for the dog)
Mk1 Mazda MX5 (bear with me here, with a Chevy LS1 V8 which apparently is a nice fit)
Skoda Fabia vRS (for hacking about and to and from work)
DeLorean (speed limited to 87mph 'cos we don't want any accidents with the space-time continuum)

[mpg200]

Ford RS 200 .. no contest or maybe 2 of them. just the best ever

[Bungleaio]

My garage would be bigger than my house.

Lambo Gallardo Superleggera
Fezza F40 & 355 spyder
Alfa 8c
Ultima GTR
Mac F1
Benz 300SL
Jag mk1 E Type
BMW E30 M3 and E39 M5
Delorian DMC-12
Bently Turbo R
Porsche Speedster, 993 GT2 and carrera gt
Escort Cossie
Nissan R33 GTR
Dodge Charger
More mini's than you can shake a very large stick at.
And I'd have a race car to compete in, I'm not sure which.

I'd have to have to seperate areas one kitted out with full workshop facilities the other as a showroom, something a bit like this



Without all that gym nonsence in obviously!

[SlowOne]

My garage would be quite small, as for permanent transport I'd have:

MCC Smart For-Two - smile-a-mile car, sooo easy to use, and park in town.
Honda S2000 - enough sports car for my limited driving talent; easy to drive, fun and reliable
Audi A4 2.7 TDi Quattro Avant - enough room for doing everything else, safe and fast

Then there's a long list of cars I've always wanted to drive, but never wanted to own. I guess these would be borrowed, hired or leased for short periods of time, or I could get plenty of those 'drive-a-car' days to fill in the gaps with the money I'd save by not buying them. Never felt the need to own things, just want to see what all the fuss is about!

ive got add now a lancia delta intergrale, a ford a series and a jag xjs v12 manual gearbox
