A dream car is that car which is your favourite car of all time, doesn't have to be fast or good looking. It's the first car you would look to if you suddenly inherited all of Bill Gates' money.

A car which you realistically hope to own is a aspirational car, it's a car which is within your means and as such is probably not your dream car, it may be but in that case you're probably a billionaire. It's the car which you aim for to achieve promotions at work or whatever. A dream car is the reason people play the lottery on a saturday night.

Oh yeah and if you check out M-Sports website you can pay £200,000 for EX02 OBE which is one of McRae's 2002 Focus WRC cars, a sister car to the Martini one above.

Now, Clicky is a very nice car - this would have to be something I would want to play with.

i managed to get a glimpse of one of the prototypes at the motorshow at the NEC last year i think it was. Being able to see that stonking V12 through the rear window made me dribble a little.

If we're talking about old cars, I really really like the little Austin 7 Ruby, I have no idea why, I once saw one at a show and thought they looked great.

It's not the sort of car I would ever go for but would seriously consider one, if I could afford to run two cars.
