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)


love the capris also my dad has owned 3 over the years including a 2.8 injection special auto

Not really sure what my dream/ultimate car would be. I guess I wouldn't for sure unless I had driven them or owned them.

I must say, I've wanted a TVR Cerbera for aagggges though.

^^ I'd say TVR for you, you'd endlessly go on about them :gimme:

Even if its a replica?

That was the real thing Dom! Race spec one at snetterton I believe...


My mistake.

I'd say Simon and I have owned a few of our dream cars already! :cry:

Just sold our 1970 7.5l Fastback Mustang on Sunday..... She was sold to make room for our new project, a 1960's classic ford van, to be made into a family camper van, currently being transported from California :thumbsup:

There are a few cars we'd love, but probably dream most of owning a nice AC Cobra replica (would never afford a real one). We nearly ordered a kit before the Mustang came along, probably save that one for our old age now! :gimme:

At school I always wanted a Mini or a 205. Now I've got both. Other realistic cars I hope to own at some point are a RX8, 350z or a Skyline R33/34 GTR. These aren't really dream cars though, just cars I like, my ultimate dream car is either a matt black Murcielago or a original GT40 in Gulf colours so I'll have to wait a few years yet and start saving now.

if you do get one im camping outside your house until i can afford one of my own. theyre not just cars i like, theyre my dream car that make me druel and wee myself with excitment. no fancy race bits needed, just 4wd and twin turbos will do for me. im just worried theyre going to really start rocketing in price now and itll be even harder for me :gimme:

should i?
by comparison, a normal nice mini here is 7-10k (3.5-4.5k gbp)
and i have never ever seen one of those for sale here in the 5 years i've been looking. i've never even seen the real thing...i feel like calling the guy to ask if i could touch it.
the GTA would be the dream car but this is close enough
...if only i had more garages and more summers

wow and that 7.9 1/4 run was in a GTST that is damn impresive! The GTRs are the RB26DETT model, running 4wd and twin turbos, i see a R34 the other week with a RB30DETT putting out just over 850 BHP and was a street legal car!

You can pick up a R32 GTR for around 7k now days which isnt bad at all considering they can easily turn out around 700bhp although you can get one in the state that mine was for a lot less! :thumbsup:

Lovely cars and the pikeys are yet to discover their cheapness.... yet!

I finally got my Lotus Elan M100 about six months ago. It's at the lower end of the price scale (check out Lotus Elan Central) but I love it and have only seen 1 other on the roads since I've had it (there are only around 2,000 left). £5k will get you a good car with 200bhp that will not rust. I might be tempted with a vtec mini though. (this ones not mine)

I'd love a MG Midget or a MGB GT... (pref a V8)

But for now, no, I can't say I've owned my dream car... Maybe in a few years, if the misses lets me :) :thumbsup:
