One car, and one car only....

[Chris Gibbs]

If you could have any car in the world, money no object what would it be?

Don't forget that Santa reads this forum, and you never know!

I'll start us off.

A Mclaren F1, Still the ultimate road car, not as fast as a Veyron, but a million times better looking.

Cheers

Chris :D

[minimad]

nope has to be a mk1 cooper s 1275cc but with big fat wheels and arches just to annoy fabby haha :p :p

[Chris Gibbs]

110 years of motoring development and you pick a tin box. :eek:

I give up :D

Cheers

Chris :)

I think it would have to be a ferrari F40 for me :cool: or failing that a 6R4 metro

[Jezzer99]

Tough one but I'd say the 911 GT2 (997 era if you know your 911 numbers) although bizarrely I do have a bit of a thing for the Range Rover Sport Supercharged HSE doo-dah thingy at the moment...

[frankie boy]

HI
Not to boverd about the big money cars. But i would like the MGB-Gt V8 back that some b@rsted nick about ten years age. LOVE THAT CAR.

[Chris Gibbs]

I despair!!

Blade likes the F40 (fair enough) but a Metro!!

(BTW which part of "One car and one car only" don't you understand? :) )

Then Jezzer does the same thing but picks a VW beetle coupe and an agricultural vehicle!

I can live with the Renown, bit pedestrian for me though.

Cheers

Chris :)

[Blade]

come on chris the metro is a classic, i once had a metro turbo that i did strange things with like drive it:eek:

[Chris Gibbs]

I used to have a Metro Turbo as well.

It was broken most of the time, usually the so called "engine steady" which did anything but. I was putting one on every time I got petrol, the guy in the stores used to say "another MG Metro Turbo engine steady is it?"

All metros are hateful, even ones with an XJ220 engine stuffed up their chuff!

Cheers

Chris :)

[Blade]

I sense that your not keen on metro's then :D

[3GE Components]

Lancia Delta Integrale EVOII, in white, on 17" Speedlines, Abarth cams etc etc.

That would do me, although rust may well put pay to any long term commitments :D

Cough... beetle... cough... wind up any current Porsche engine until the Variocams start to do their work and then smile... admitted the engine in the 911 is slightly in the wrong place...

I had an MG Metro once (not turbo) which was quite amusing.

I suppose there's an extension to this thread in terms of what you drive now and what was your favourite car ever that you've owned...

[greasemonkey]

i would prefer one of these!! Chevron B16 from Bolton!!

[MCD]

having said that i would be seriously tempted by one of these :D

it aint the size that matters its a classic. You can keep yur super fast cars, no good down here in sunny Cornwall anyway:p

[JonBowden]

I'll assume that's only one interesting car - ok, my wife can have the estate.
I'll have a Jaguar D-type (or a Lynx replica).
If santa can't get me one of those, I'll have a caterham / lotus seven.
If I can't have one of those, then I'll have a Haynes roadster.

[JonBowden]

MCD, You beat me to it.
WOW, Absolutely the most georgeous car ever.

[tris89]

Hmm this is a hard one. There are several cars I really admire, ther Ferrari F40 and the 205 T16 are favourites for similar reasons. The Veyron is an awesome engineering feat, and the Ferarri FXX is stunning...

However (and I don't really know why) the car for me would have to be the Gemballa Mirage GT - their take on the Porsche Carrera GT. Stunning..

And you have no idea how long that decision took me....... :)

it just has to be this car

[shadowcaster]

Money no object, it would have to be an Aston Martin DB5. Perferably one that has been updated. http://www.aston.co.uk/carsales_index/php/action/details/car/289/Aston-Martin/DB5-fully-restored

Oh and the optional ejector seat:)

[fabbyglass]

E- type for me please..:D

[bobbyh]

The best car ever made and 1 of just 3 ever made

If Mr Xmas is feeling generous he might see his way to getting his elves to make my creation so I can have some time off....:)

[tristanj]

It should be Mazda Taiki concept 3 for me. Take a look at this image (http://www.autounleashed.com/images/wallpapers/mazda_taiki_concept/mazda_taiki_concept3.jpg), I'm attracted to the beauty.

[flyerncle]

[racebreed]

pagani zonda for me or my Monaro VXR with about 700bhp! only got 400bhp at the moment!

[bobbyh]

[Beardy_John]

For me it would have to be a Lamborghini Murciélago. Had the pleasure of driving one round Thruxton a few years back. The best drive I have ever had, massive V12 purring behind you, gorgeous!!

[bobbyh]

[fabbyglass]

Argh but the 2cv is the ideal donor for the Black Jack Avion...3 is the way forward if one behind doing all the giddyness:D

[flyerncle]

A man of taste Mark !

See Bobby it has it's uses.

And when one of you kind Gents tells me how to link from here to Flickr I will really peeve the lot of you with what a friend of mine parks in his garden.

Have a good one everybody.

[dean211277]

For me it would be between an f40 or an rs500

ferrari or a ford sierra, that sounds nuts put like that:D

[rapidtornado]

Sorry late to get a post on here but what about Volvo 1800... the saint!

You know it makes sense!:D

[MightyMouth]

I think I would probably have a Plymouth Superbird.

[les g]

nope you are all wrong

les g

[jerkins]

For me, it would have to be Lancia Stratos...

http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/100-greatest/03-large/59-lancia-stratos.jpg

The idea of a Ferrari-powered rally car really appeals! :D

[fabbyglass]

GT40....How bizarre is that then Les....;)

Or a weird monocoque bike engined thing to be really anti social...:D

[Bonzo]

Skoda Rapide

[flyerncle]

There used to be a racing one at Croft in the 70's/80's 16v jobby in the rear,I also saw one at the Racing car show a million years ago at Earls Court and that belonged to a guy called Alec Poole from Ireland fitted with Formula 5000 engine,Awesome.

[Bonzo]

I have have always liked the Dodge Viper :)

Not a big fan of American cars but the Viper is the exception

I guess its those bodylines. Nice & curvy, just how I like them !!?? :D :D
