View Full Version : Money no object
Okay, so if money was no object but you could only buy ONE car to keep for the rest of your life, what would it be? I'm really struggling to find the answer to this for myself at the moment.

that is a tricky one, people ask me what my dream car would be quite often as they know i'm into cars but i can never give them an answer.
i tell them that i'd have to drive ever car to find one i'd like and could then answer the decision.
on looks only i'd say an aston martin but then i don't kno what they're like to drive.
i could happily live with a e46 m3 in blue as they're a good all round car, even if it does lack alot of driver involvement
My dream list would be this
1. Lamborgini reventon
2. Ferrari f40
3. Mitsubishi evo v111 mr fq 400
4. Aston martin DBS
5. Peugeot 205 T16 ex works rally car
6. Scoffs 5

In that case you should probably be allowed a 2nd car to choose for whilst the spyder is in the garage having it's roof/sensors/gearbox/roof ecu/engine sensors fixed. :sad2:
A Reventon spyder perhaps :agree:

Is this somthing you are going to buy Dawn ?
My gf got a car from her grandad and she will never sell it, sadley her grandad passed away not long after her getting the car. Reason for not wanting to upgrade i surpose.
She has a 2003 last of the old shape Mirca 1.0 tempest, great car.
Even sad'er she got crashed into in it, on M6 the other day, rear end damage, am sure i'll be able to fix it, but the insurence might have write it off first. and previous i have had some near misses where i have had to dosdge people out of control,Just shows even if you want to avoid an accident " and keep car forever" in reality it wont happen :cry:
We now have a 2010 renault megane 1.6 not a bad car, not that i would buy anyway, handles well :cool:

That's a tough one!
Since it would be my only car i would go for my pulsar that i'm building
That might sound stupid when one of my dream cars is an F40 but the pulsar is gonna an amazing spec and exactly how i want it :D

I got caught sniffing & stroking one of these at MPH...needless to say I was shuffled away VERY sharply :laugh:
Sniffing? Is this a new check I should know about? ;-)
Well the smells from the engine bay area, the mechanical oily odour you smell after an engine has been running, you could even see the heat haze above the rads on the CCXR...yes yes, I'm a perv :laugh:

Just think how much better it would look painted! :cooter:
Only maginally though! That is one ugly car!
Gimme a Gumpert Apollo anyday :D
My garage would consist firstly of a lancia stratos, sat next to an R5 turbo2 in the garage and a delta integrale for family occassions, after all sometimes you need a 4door.:p
There is always a noble for the same price as a new mondeo, tempting or what. Just remember that when you are staring at the option list for your mundane o. When a noble passes you - you will wretch remembering the choice you made.:D
Definately an F40, a V8 with 2 turbos should be enough to keep anyone happy, especially if you love sparse interiors :D
Aston Martin DB5 with Q branch modifications from Golden Eye
Kept pace with a Ferrari 355 and is nice comfatble and yet can blow the **** out of the traffic with machine gun headlights and rockets:D
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Would Have to Be A Loutus Sunbeam :):D Or maybe a rs500:cool:
mine would have to be a bowler wildcat, for the fact that you can go almost anywhere, get it dirty as hell and also have the very BIG power.
