"The one I bought, you dolt".

Anyone else get asked similarly daft questions? Chap with a BMW M3 got awfully upset when I pointed out that I actually didn't aspire to own one. **** economy, ridiculous running costs, no carrying capacity and instantly makes the driver look like a ****.

Weird.

Lawks. Who'd have thought that **** and **** would be in the swear filter?

That must make it frightfully hard to write ***** and ******, let alone ******* and *****-*******.

Sounds like he fair got under yer sporran there Sporky

Actually, I'm only a quarter Scots, and as such my application for a sporran licence was refused. Apparently I'm allowed a caber and a herd of haggis, but no bagpipes, kilts or porridge with salt in.

Sporky take a test drive in one, you might change your opinion But then again you might not!

Well, obviously it'd be infinitely faster, plusher inside and out-handle my Fabia Estate by a few orders of magnitude, but losing £20k in 3 years seems a bit daft (at least that was his saving by buying a 3-year old one) and I'd resent the daft running costs.

I'll concede that in many respects it's a "better" car, but would be no use at all to me. Particularly as work wouldn't let me use it - only 2 doors.

Do a search for the words "stupid grin" to find my review of a brief drive of one one lunchtime.

As for the car I really want - I always rather fancied one of these - fantastic looking thing.

TVR Cerbera 4.5 v8 420bhp 1997 on an R in Black with crimson leather interior and 18" compomotive 5 spokes in white

Like Griffiths better myself but good choice - at least you didn't go for that horrible metallic purple ...

A 4.2 litre series one Jaguar E-Type roadster in either gun metal or old english white

If you're gonna go Jaguar, and money's no object, why not an XK120/140/150? Same car, more pedigree

Griffiths are cool, but my abiding memory of the 1997 Glasgow motorshow is the TVR boys Actively getting folk up on the stand and into the cars. quite a treat when Peugeot wouldnt let us in a 406 1.8:thumbdwn:

They aint reliable, and they are are murder to work on but by god they're pretty:rolleyes:

Good call sir! a mk2 jag or a rover p5b coupe are also good plans

I'd really like this car. If i could have 'any' car. It'd be this one. It might not be the fastest etc. But for a pure combination of looks, colour and speed. I think i've got it right!

I'd like an E46 M3 touring

(I know, they dont make one!)

I'd like an... oh... hang on... I probably don't fit in it :(

Any car? 1973 Carrera RS or better yet, a RSR. In white/red of course.

Probably a dull choice in comparison, but I want an RS4 cabriolet...

I had a sneaking suspicion that people would read the title but not the opening post and just say what they'd really like.

Both our cars do what they are intended to do

But what i would really like is a fully spec'd up Overfinch Range Rover or even better a full spec'd up Defender

Overfinch : home

I'd like to find my dads old 'R' Type Bently & buy it back, many good memorys and you were always let out at junctions too.

Cost an absolute fortune to run though:eek: :eek:

.

If reliability was no object, then a TVR Chimera 4.0. If it was a real world car then it'd have to be a 911 Turbo I think, but a proper one, a 993.

Money no object then a Lambo Gayboy spider, now part of the skoda group so reliability should not be a problem day to day, just have to watch the stutter at 7,500rpm

Back to the OP, i don't think its a particularly daft question to ask and the responses you've had show that. If cost wasn't a problem, isn't there a car out there with the functionality/performance you'd rather have than the one you've got? There is for me anyway.

If you're gonna go Jaguar, and money's no object, why not an XK120/140/150? Same car, more pedigree
