ganda123 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I would just love an e-type Jag, one of the first ones made, as they're the prettiest.
I don't like Fords, but with one exception: the GT40...
A Volvo S40 touring car (preferably '98 version), a Ferrari Daytona or 355 Spider, A Lotus Elise or a TVR would go down very nicely too.
I am also very attached to Triumph Stags as we have one...lovely cars that are affordable.

Mmmm... Mk2 Jag I'll refrain from posting a pic of the mashed one from Oulton Park at the weekend.

Hexie (who's a "he" by the way, Sparky) is doing fine. I've found out today that he's up and running, but on a hastily welded steering rack, so I need to get a replacement one tomorrow. Soon as that's fixed, he can scuttle down the road to that nice man with the spray gun and get his skin graft done. Anyone want to come and inspect the little blighter at Tatton Park on Sat 19th??

I can't post pictures (don't know how and probably can't learn) but that's where my dream car is.

A certain Mr. Alesi's got what I want: Didier Auriol's 1992 Corsica Rally winning Delta Integrale. A beautiful yellow Dino is also in his collection (well, Kumiko's, anyway)...

I never could answer this question. Just too many cars to choose from.

Putting a limitation on a car I might be able to afford one day, I'd say a BMW M3.

Not his fault! None of it is his fault. When it is, I will admit to it...

Bother! This should have been a Bizzarrini Strada for Gerard, but the link didn't work.

I'll try to find another one.

The site I got this from is in German, but I'm sure this is the GT...

Well, I don't know if it's the right one, but it's the same model that I was trying to post. Only yours looks better in black than the white one I found!

I found red ones too!

BTW, I'm not sure about the driver of this one - his parking methods leave a little to be desired!!

It's lovely in black, though. Sound choice gerard!

Yep, that's the one, although I prefer it to be red.
It's a car designed by Giotto Bizzarrini who did a lot of design work for Alfa, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Iso.
His first car was a Iso Grifo A3C Berlinette which raced at Le Mans in 1964.
From 1965 on it was sold as the Bizzarini GT Strada 5300.
It has a 5354 cc 8-cilinder V engine from the Chevrolet Corvette with 348 horsepowers.
Topspeed is 171 mph/248 kmh.
Shame it's a bit pricey though.

I could get a pretty good Dino for around $25,000 but it's got some really sloppy restoration work done on it in the left rear quarter, and something is wrong with the paint.

Since I couldn't drive it anyway, I suppose I will not buy that one.... but I wish people would not restore things if they don't know what they are doing.

You been reading my memoirs, Liz? It tends to double the price of any major repair if some Herbert has been there first. You have to 'undo' the work, before you can do the work.

Aside from the dearly departed Lamborghini Jota (my dreams include time travel) or just-as-gorgeous Miura, and the obligatory TVR Grantura Mk3a or Vixen Series 4, I would have to say either a road-legal Mini flatbed with a DFV in the back, or a Lancia Delta S4 (again road-legal is poss).

I'm going to take everyone by surprise here and nominate...

Do I really even need to say it, Craig and Invader?

SIERRA!! Of the Cosworth variety, naturally. As I'm not totally fussy, it can be a 'normal' Cossie, but an RS500 would be the ultimate. Also from the Ford (Gasp!! It's okay, they're the only two I like!) clan, the Escort RS2000 - with the big wing, obviously.

From other makers, I'll nominate a couple from home: Calais International with those gorgeous 16" chromed wheels and - the pride of Australia - the HSV GTS 300. Vette engine in a Commodore. Wow!!

There's only really two Italians I'd want (other than Ferrari's 360 Modena): Maserati 3200GT and - a common one, apparently - Delta Integrale. As they say, it's the Holy Grale...

And from Germany, it'd have to be an Audi S4 - in the metallic blue they do. Best looking car in the world. On a less dreamy level, I'd love a current shape Laguna and an Astra. Doesn't need to be like Smokin' Jo's, but that wouldn't be bad...

I know you said that we can't say it, but above all else is an F1. How could I refuse one if someone offered it?

I'd tend to also agree with Ganda's comments about the S40 Touring Car. Yes, the 1998 one would be the best of them, but I was kind of partial to the '97 paint work on the car. So gimme a '98 car with '97 stickers!

And I want a Texaco Sierra, just in case anyone was wondering which colour I'd choose...

Isn't 'car' short for 'carriage'? I'm working on that assumption...

A plane is a kind of carriage, and hell no, I'd VTOL it straight into a parking spot in Tescos!!

I found something I'd like to be the proud owner of on the BMW website. A C1. Those of you watched the Monaco GP on ITV will have seen Jenson Button and Gerhard Berger driving round on them. I saw two on holiday in Italy, and I wouldn't mind one of those (but I'll settle for a Z3...).
