nice :laugh:

Dodge Hemi-Challenger

vanashing point style - exellent!

Golf G60, McCoy

good film that was... it was on the other night

i wouldnt mind if somebody abondoned a BMW M3 in my driveway

Triumph TR7 V8

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of the new Holden Monaro 427s just announced

Anything with good power and RWD :)

Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato!

A '59 Cadillac would look good in my driveway,from the time when big fins ruled the roads.;)

Ah, here's my favorite:

1971 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 429CJ (http://www.mercurycyclone.freeservers.com/images/1971%20Grpr%20orange%20cyclone%20bob.jpg)

Alfa 33 Stradale

That seems to be a dead link 429CJ, any chance of posting another?

good film that was... it was on the other night

no that was the rubbish TV remake, the original was far far better with super soul rather than "voice".

Audi RS6, Mk2 A.C. Cobra and Chevron B8 for trackdays :) :rotate:

Realistically, based upon current circumstances, wouldn't say no to a Pearlescent Blue MG ZT 190+

Oy, gevalt, so it seems! Here is a different page:

Mercury Cyclone Spoiler (http://mercurycyclone.tripod.com/cars/imagepages/image135.html)

Here is another, uncatchable dream:

1936 Cord 810 (http://www.ktsmotorsportsgarage.com/ault99/pages/cord36c1.html)

Thanks 427, I love the Mercury but I'm torn between that and the Cord!

This will do nicely!

The one that is in there 1967 XRGT Falcon

a holdon commodore, sporty version on sale in the uk. or a bmw alpina 5 series.

Its not much I know but I lusted after one of these for a while there

Ended up buying a nice original ZH Fairlane instead, but I still want the coupe

XC Fairmont Hardtop- (bit grainy sorry)

BMW M3
XW GT
MUSTANG 65 FASTBACK
That should keep me happy.

For work BMW M5
For Shoping New Range Rover
For the weekend TVR Tuscan S/E-type SII
For the Track SR3

Oh yeah, forgot about Mustangs
One of these parked next to the Fairmont would be good

'68 Fastback

nah give me a challenger over a pony car.

Come on then you lot, lets play fantasy garage. Forget the money, what car would you have in your garage and why!
I`ll start the engine running, I would have a Caterham superlight R500..I`ve been driven round a track or two in one with a quick driver and it just blows your mind...it also hwps with any movement problems you may have!. Whats your choice?

Doesn`t help with the spelling either...still shaking after the last run!

That's easy !!!

Here are all the details. I've had to post the link as reading it all in one go makes me drool all over my keyboard. :cool:

Dodge Ram 3500 (http://www.dodge.com/configuratorUS/FrontController?Origin=ViewSummary&Brand=Dodge&Language=EN&Nameplate=ram_truck&PostalCode=77429&SalesMarket=U&ConfigData=020j5STXX3EU0PX8APAxxxDVVLxxxcDGQCMACGSGFACSUEZADSAXJLXMEDMFWD4AGG&DefaultConfig=U2003DR8H422THPR4APAQR4XXX&ButtonPressed=VehicleSummaryDetails&MaxNav=0&PartsSummary=&PartsSubTotal=&PartsQuantity=&IncentiveId=)

see vette thread

Totally Impractical.
Absoloutly Stupid.
Poseurs Heaven.:eek:
Only in the U.S.A. :laugh:

Fraid it would have to contain at least one Blackpool Bruser...
Probably headed by the Tuscan R...
An Audi RS4 for when I had to do family duties as well...

Audi RS6, preferably modified by Abt for the Road:)
Mk2 AC Cobra for the two or three sunny days a year :) :)
CHEVRON B8 for trackdays :) :beer: :rotate:

A 57' Chevy Bel Air for road use (most gorgeous car of the 50's IMO)

Family car - hmm, nothing that really appeals to me, maybe one of those wierd Fiat people carriers.

Track days? Gotta be a TVR, either a Cerbera or a Tuscan R

And for a full blown race car - I have a thing about the Panoz LMP-1. Totally impractical but I love that engine note.....

Chevy Turbo (http://www.a-1performance.com/sounds/dyno17.rm)

Have a listen to what a REAL Pickup sounds like !!! :cool:

I would probably sacrifice my right arm,testicle and maybe the wife to take a Noble M12 GTO round a track.What a gorgeous piece of petrol-head heaven,but best of all it's BRITISH !

Stu, are you sure that was a Chevy turbo? I thought I was listening to an MTB in `Torpedo Run` !!!

Super Turbo Chevy Truck Dual Kit. It's been tweaked a little !! :p

For me, it would have to be an AC Cobra, with a big lump V8, side exhausts and all the noise and smoke you can imagine.

Regrettably, imagine is all I will ever be able to do ..................... but it's fun doing so!


Steve T

Steve you are so right, but isn`t that the point? we can have all the cars we want without having to spend the cash...ah well off to work ( the bit that comes between race meetings ! )

For my fun car I'd have a mint 1972 Mk11 Midget like this one please:

Midget (http://www.mgcars.org.uk/pics/zacmgb01.jpg)

contenders for my race car would be either a Mk1 Midget, a Mk1 Cortina or an Anglia....

in my dreams I shall drive a ex Le Mans MG-Lola or a Sunbeam Tiger Le Mans....well it is a dream...

:angel: ;)

Driving past a local car dealer today, they had for sale in there a Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (1969), and one of the early 80s Pontiac Trasam's (Like off Nightrider). I have to get one of those two.......pity about my bank balance.

I have this for wet work days

and for odd days, sunny days and weekends, this . . .

and a MK1 Cortina GT racer in 2347 pieces! ;(

For tarmac rallies Metro 6R4
For gravel rallies Subaru WRC
For historic rallies Escort Mk1 TC
For the road latest mercedes van with Brian James top of range trailer.

So Alpina - what's your favourite to compete in and why, if we may enquire?

Hard to say gfm as the only one of the above I have driven is the transit!
I have had three Mk1 Escorts and still have a Mexico which is so much fun but not very fast. I have driven a few Imprezas and they are fun in a different way. The 6R4s just keep passing me on the stages and they sound so good.
Aaaaaahhh
