I just wondered what peoples dream cars were on here.
I’m kinda old school so I’d love an early 90’s 911 with the whale tale or an escort cosworth.
Sadly I drive a rather bland A4  |

I’m not really into cars, I always imagined if I’d ever change though I’d drive an understated classic rather than anything too ostentatious or anything seen as a typical ‘status symbol’. Maybe an old school Jag or something. |

I have been fortunate enough to own some nice cars in my time and still have a few nice toys now but the one car I wish I could have which is out of my price range is a Mercedes 300 SL gullwing   |

"Prefer 2wheels
Generally I do too but we are a minority. I live all things that shift well.
So what bike would you go for? "
I like Italian exotica but not the usual Ducati. Benelli, MV Augusta, Moto guzzi, Aprilia all work for me.
However your current bike is always the best at that time - triumph sprint gt  |

The RS500 might be even rarer now, if the one that caught fire yesterday can't be repaired!? |

"I couldn’t care less really, I had 20 years of so called dream cars & gladly stuff them all up his bum  I will always be a fan of a 993 turbo though! In black! "
Seems Porsches and fords are the key here!

I don't want a car... With too many crazy drivers on the road, it is not safe to have one. Many don't know how to use indicators or don't give a shit, some don't have insurance, Some are egotistical twat accelerating at the wrong time trying to overtake and suddenly realised they had to stop because there's a red light (ranting and raving) HALLARIOUS. New drivers that want the most powerful car on the planet and realised they can't control it and crash it, I see them as having small cocks so they need big powerful cars to hide it.
People try to make their cars look more flashy (oooo look at this beast - I have a small cock). Don't they realise that the manufacturer designed the car so it's safe saves petrol and is more efficient? |

have to disagree with you on regards making a more efficient and saving on petrol, why would some manufacturers design 6.3 or 5.5 L engine if They wanted to be economical  |

I don’t care what it is, I just want it to be cheap to buy, cost nothing to run or insure, that never breaks down, can do the speed limit without rattling, is comfy to sit in for long periods and plays music. Give me that and the aesthetics mean nothing |

Got to be honest. I get what your saying to the most point though I disagree on the final bit about making their cars look flashy. I have modified my car to make it look better, like the top spec motor. I did it for me because it’s my thing. I also gave it more power which improved the efficiency slightly. |

like I said you get the idiots that want powerful cars and release account control and crash it. Manufacturers purposely designed cars like that for idiots. Men with a small penis. They crash it and buy a new one. If they survive the crash. |

Always loved Landrovers since I was a kid, I've owned several now, so in a way I've had my dream car.
If money was no object though there are two dream cars for me, a Bowler Nemesis and a 1928 Bentley Le Mans race car. |

The 3.0CSL was indeed aluminium bodied, the L standing for lightweight. I never actually owned one but did have access to one for a few months, fun motor and fast. |

Not sure if I'm honest, I've got 2 that I always wanted and fulfil my need for noise, speed and thrills.
Probably one of the mental Zondas if I had to pick. |

My biggest motoring regret is selling my escort cosworth over 20 years ago,was totally standard and not butchered and it was immaculate, got good money for it but not close to what it's worth now. |

These threads have come up a few times, and I've always said that I nearly became the laughing stock of Great Britain over a dream car, but thereby hangs another tale. I always reckon that my favourite dream car is the one that I've just sold for a reasonable return on capital invested, when I actually see it going up the road either on a trailer or being driven away leaving me with a smile on my face from ear to ear. |

"I'd love a Karmann Ghia "
One of my favs, but I'd stick a scooby or porsche lump in it.
Likewise an early bay with a scooby lump that never rusts, drink fuel and doesn't break down
Also, more for memories, my old S2 escort turbo and A reg 2.0s capri |

Ferrari F-50.
The very last analogue supercar. No fancy electronics, no traction control, no hybrid crap. An F1 derived V12, the most amazing engine noise, and a manual gated shifter.
Perfection |
