My lightly modified Land Rover discovery suits me perfectly. Use it for camping, mountain biking, greenlaning. It's comfy and relaxing to drive and once I get it re-mapped it'll give hot hatches a scare too.  |

My brother had a replica when I was younger. Ended up with a cosworth engine from a written off Sierra in it. Went like scalded cat. |

"Facelifted V8 Ram Air version of my current car (built between 1998 & 2002)"
The A-real van would be perfect. Plenty of room for the drums & band gear... and a great day van when I'm not gigging.
Plus it's fast, indestructible, and equipped with everything you'd need for every possible situation.

It was dangerous in the wet on roundabouts. I learned to drift in it. I love the shape of the front end. |

It was the classic orange colour. I prefer white with red Mexico stripes. Don't half miss it though. I was too young to insure it when he sold it or I'd have had it. Wish he'd left it as a 1.3 Ghia on the log book. |

Ma mate had a 1600L and used a big chain to lock the driver's side(the lock was fucked) through the steering wheel and then got out through the passenger door

Old joke said, three women were talking in a bar. First one asked, "sex with my husband is like a Bentley, smooth comfortable and elegant"
Second one said, "mine is like an Astin Martin, fast furious and exciting."
Third one said, "mine is like an Austin A40, needs to be started by hand but gats me there." |

Dream car: A 70's muscle car, Aston, De Tomaso
Practically my perfect car is the one I have
: Audi A6 tdi estate. Big, comfortable, enough power to get me into and out of trouble, 50 mpg.
Or a VW T5 surf van. |

i don't spend much time thinking about cars to know what's about, in fact i'm happier when i don't have a car, makes life much simpler but i need one atm as the mrs is on crutches...so probably something smaller and cheaper to run than the current thing really i like simple machines too with no tech or bullshit...a mini would be nice, not the bmw copies that you see now though, a real one

Quite happy with my VW Golf mk5 TDI 4motion
I'd like the mk6 or newer mk7 but they don't do 4wd diesel anymore and the newer build quality is crap, although most newer cars, all makes, are not built better anymore 
Am master at VW retrofitting with vcds and coding so my mk5 has lots of upgrades.
Inside is virtually 2016 scirocco spec with 3D colour clocks, mib2 discover media / satnav, Bluetooth, wifi, heated leather seats, climatronic A/C, turn assist fog lights, rain sense auto close windows / sunroof, tinted windows, mapped to 180bhp
Like to look at engine next and fit hybrid turbo |

An Audi or something similar with big heated seats that recline and maybe a media player built into the dash to play the drivers favourite adult entertainment while his cock is being deep sucked.. |

I'd like the first cat I never bought, just admired on the forecourt of the used car showroom when I first passed my test in 1978, a Fiat X19. I still remember the registration number, EUH 434V. It's probably scrapped now, but at least it would be cheaper to purchase now than then. |

You'd be surprised. My Capri cost me £300. They're now fetching very good money. X/19 prices are pretty healthy at the moment too |

depends what you mean by practical. A figaro is essentially a rebodied micra so they are incredibly reliable and reasonably fuel efficient. |

Yes but sadly don't fit 3 sons and probably wouldn't cope with the miles I do. When I have my midlife crisis I'm buying one though |

"A brand new Lotus Elan....sadly they stopped making them in 1974 but what a bloody fast car they were plus the folding headlights were great "
Bet there's a company out there that would do a resto mod on one. Modern Elise engine and gearbox. Better suspension and brakes etc. Closest thing to the elan these days is a Mazda mx5. |

"I'll stick to my old banger of a focus. Rough area we live in means any nice car would automatically become a target for the villains or the jealous. "
I know what you mean bye that.
Best keeping old car in dodgy house estate.
If I had the money I'd make sure and get/build a garage for a car like:
Audi A8 (top of the range)
Mercedes E or S class. |

A little Toyota Aygo.
A racy little thing too. And has an unsurprising grunt to her.
But one car I'd love to have is .... An E-type Jag roadster  |

Top of the range Hilux Surf. Need a 4wd for dragging the boat around, plus bringing back the sea from the shore to fertilise the land, also for driving on the bog to get the peat. My poor old Navara is well beat up these days. |

Lotus produced an Elan in the 90's too. Front wheel drive though. |

I have several in my collection.
Bmw's, Mercedes Benz', Cadillac, Peugeot 205 GTi, but my fave and daily driver (so long as it's over 15 degrees & not raining) is my 1944 Willy's Jeep.
Like me it's old, somewhat delapidated, rusty in places and jiggly over bumps.
But it's easy to get into, never lets you down, always satisfying and gets where water can't.
Just don't even think of motorways with it's 45 mph top speed..... |

I would like a "sleeper" just a normal tidy car with a total rebuild done, then when a guy wants to race me again! in his fast toy i can just leave him standing.
Knowing my luck he would probably beat me up at the next lights. |

There is a bloke on a well known car forum (PH) who built a mk2 Ford Focus estate with a tuned Focus ST engine, gear box, suspension and brakes on it. It's got 19 inch steel wheels with only 3 wheel trims and from the outside it just looks like a basic blue estate. He rarely washes it too. Even has a national trust sticker in the back window. |

I think it's all legit. All details moved onto log book etc. I'm a bit geeky about cars so I love stuff like that. Should have been an engineer. |

Various choices by people on this thread, the majority seem to be choosing older cars, which is interesting considering you could choose ferrari etc. Older cars are alot nicer looking than modern cars though. |

I had a 1977 W116 280SE, picked it up off an old french guy for €4800, metallic blue, tan leather interior, original Becker stereo. It had a few little spots of rust in the usual spots, but not serious. In great condition. Drove it every day for 3 years, never an once of trouble. I sold it for nearly double that last year on the pretext of buying a W114. Which I still haven't got yet.

We stuck with MB right up through W124's (had a rare 300TE 24v Mosselman turbo for a while, which was a hoot) then two W210's both of which where a let down quality wise so we switched to BMW & now to Volvo but only the MK1 C70 which we think is one of the best looking of the four seater convertibles with the roof down.
