I’ve had a number of bucket list cars ... all for mental wanks, none have come to fruition lol
My first love was an Audi 5000 in 1983. Then as a teenager I lusted after an electric blue ‘90 Camaro.
I’ve had a number of Audis which I’ve loved, my favourite being an black A4 Quattro a few years ago, but I’m tired of Audis now.
I want a blue Mustang for my 50th in a couple of years. True mid-life crisis car, haha, and will hopefully hold on to it until we go all electric in the future. The electric Mustang looks 
Right now I drive a very sensible and very lovely Volvo XC90.  |

I don't like the electric mustangs, I'm dreading that they do it to the cobra, the acoustic is very important |

"Just felt the twitch of an icy road at Sparrowpit so wishing I had something more appropriate
Do you change your tyres for winter"
Its a personal lease car that was due back in November, which I then extended to December and now January due to uncertainty around COVID so at this stage a set of winter tyres would be an expensive ask. |

Oh, I have such a list that I'd get if I won the lottery.
Top of it would be an E-type
Then an M3 and Defender to play in
I own a classic mini Cooper, although he's not currently on the road. And my everyday car is just for practicality and economy |

"I love my Caterham 7  "
My all-time, favourite car! I loved mine, and hated the day it had to go. Nothing I've driven before or after has given me the same thrill as that car, and I've had some nice stuff.
Right now, I'm well into my Japanese phase. Currently a GT86 for smiles per gallon, and a Corolla hybrid for miles per gallon. The 86 is a keeper, unless a Supra worms it's way onto the drive. The hybrid might go fully electric with a Lexus UX or Tesla Model 3, although there is a new Yaris GR4 thats talking to me, and a garage around the corner who want me to have a conversation. Those conversations always cost me money. |

"One with a chauffeur 
Only if he's bare chested spurs 
Why stop at the chest, might as well go the whole way I’ll try not to interfere with his gears "
I'd get further along to my destination with putting you two in the back and me driving |

A 4x4 is a necessary evil for us but as a confirmed petrolhead I’d rather go LPG than diesel so we have a 260 brake tweaked Touareg with a six speed manual box. You can get more go/grunt from the tractor engines but they don’t sing like the R32 engine.
A very nice policeman nicked me for “Only” 75 in a 60 recently. Must have been 30% off day In the constabulary
Real fun is kept to two wheels though. Currently building a 1100cc, 140rwbhp twin that I hope to get under 185kgs with a gallon of fuel in it.

"I have a new Audi S6.... And I'd love a Vauxhall Corsa!! Lol
Seriously Why???  "
The different driving modes scare the living crap out of me!! . Lamborghini launch system that actually flung my ponytail over the back seat the last time I dared to drive it in that mode!
I had a Ranger Wildtrak before and I miss my beast!! Don't get me wrong, the Audi looks the doggies gonads and drives like a dream, but I'm too old to be flingingbit around these days!! |

The 3.2 TDCi. Miss being high up and being in a tank, miss not touching the accelerator and almost killing everything around me with the speed of the S6!! I'm not a girl racer these days!! |

I used to have a Marcos, which I utterly adored, but family.
And with 3 learning to drive currently we have one sensible car, and an ever-increasing number of cheap-to-insure small cars cluttering up the driveway! |

Dream classic is a Ferrari gto, modern dream is a pagani.
Moved away from Mercedes to BMW and currently have an X5 which seems to do everything so, happy with that at the moment which is unusual for me |

Back in the very early 80’s I was in the fortunate position of owning both a 68 S-Type Jag & a 67 MB 280SE 3.5 Coupe
If it wasnt for our remote & tiny roads location I could see another S-Type in the gang as they are still not really silly money.
The 3.5 Merc Coupe though is now way out of budget.
H still has her Volvo T5 convertible. although it lives under covers most of the year & needs a bit of work for another mot.
