The Ferrari F40/F50s are my dream cars. When I was at Donington for the Ferrari F1 weekend a couple years ago the owners club was there and there was loads! :geek:

I'll never get to own one though as they're way to expensive and I'll probably be paid peanuts as a research scientist when I graduate :thumbsup:

The real thing

no trust me...
when It comes to Ferrari's... I know whats real!

yours is.. yes real, but road version.
there's no way someone would drive a road version in the Ferrari Challange!

it was there, ready to race at snetterton, but failed the noise levels, as someone complained.
so it sat there behind the paddock.

I so so so so wanted to see that car on the track.
but I'm glad I got to touch that baby!

yea :geek:

dream car, is exactly that!
I dont want to dream about a car that I might be able to afford one day... e.g modern car

A dream car is something that you wish to come true! no need of worrying about money!
for me its all about classics!

I love the GT40's
and the GT500 is sweet too.

I can see where James is going with this now!

I have wanted a renaultsport clio since I was 17, finally got one this year! Cracking car, even tho its build quality is shocking. There are a couple of Mercs I would like and the obvious supercar, I do have my eyes on my dads caterham in a few years aswell.

:P Thats not my dream car but I REALLY like them. My old boss used to have a really nice one, all done up, sporty etc but it didnt look chavvy, it was amazing!

Im not sure what my dream car is. . . For as long as Ive remembered Ive wanted a classic mini, now ive been an mini owner for a few years :). Dont get me wrong, there are MANY gorgeous cars that I would love to own, but not in my price range :o Maybe when Im rich :P

I think im gonna be another 50 year old with a 911 afraid, always wanted 1 and still do, might settle for a porsche engine in my camper though!
Also want a 2.8 injection CAPRI, love these cars forever looking at capris when trying to find a new car.
Used to have a Renault 5 GT Turbo and thinking about getting another 1 as a project (all depends on if i manage to sell the mini or not)
