The one car on the planet you want over any other.

[Lee]

Probably the discussion that appears most on car forums, but recently Ive thought about the answers people give, and whether they are actually that realistic. Its all very well saying you would definately have such and such a car if you could afford it. But would you?

Take a 700K supercar for instance. We all probably think we'd love to own one, but I was thinking about this the other day and my view changed dramatically. SO you have that sort of money to spend, and then what? You have a shiney Zonda S or a Konexzeggisggsigissegg parked on the drive. First things first, are you going to take it out in the wet, which at this time of year, is all the fecking time. How are you going to feel when you're thinking about the amount of road salt up in the nooks and crannies of your 35k quarter panel? You're never going to be able to drive it properly in the wet either. Fancy a spirited drive on a back road when a well placed pot hole or brick could rip 100 grands worth of carbon fiber off the floorpan?? I wouldn't!

So that means you're only really going to drive it in the summer, and then you'll have to worry about some prat crashing into you, and you're never going to want to park it anywhere, and what if it breaks down on you and you cant get it recovered because it wont go on the back of an AA truck, and when you do get it home, you're not going to be able to get the spanners out and fix it yourself, so your wallet is going to get raped by the italian bastids.

So you're only going to use it properly on track, or maybe on a european mountain road. But even on track, you're not going to push it because one mistake will render your wallet with its pants down again, and then some tiny person in a nightfire red Nova is all over your ass and everyone is laughing at you. (left open for any required innuendo).

SO after thinking about this for a while, I decided if I had 700 grand to spend on a car, I wouldnt buy a supercar. In fact, the thought of spending all that money on a car, no matter how awesome it is, makes me feel a little sick.

SO, now if someone asks me what my dream car is, money no object. My answer will now be an Aerial Atom, and id spend the rest on track time :)

[rwaggers]

i can see exactly where you are coming from mate, ive thought exactly the same thing ish .
mine would have to be a escort cosworth

[Pistol Pete]

lol a Renault Clio cup 182. Or an Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DBS

[SRimon]

Something AM - reasonable, yet supercar still...

I really like the Jag XKR.

[AlexW]

I wouldnt own one car, Id get funking bored.

But to your points above, if you had 700k to spend on a car surly you can afford to use it? And repair it?

[puss puss]

Range rover sport myself i quite like them

a week end car ermm.. Always fancyed a toyota supra

both cars arent stuipdly priced really lol

[Sturge]

Group 4 mk2 escort, which I'd then rally. I'd replace the Impreza as an everyday hack, and I'd have an Integrale Evo 2 tucked away for summer weekends :)

[Bobminda]

Skyline (Edit GTR)

[xe_nova9]

Same as Sturge lol

Very high spec Mk2 escort rally car, road legal :cool:

[brainsnova]

mk1 escort with skyline engine

[CoolTiger]

trotters reliant robin ftw

[Mike]

VXR8 Ute in white if it was a daily
Reylands Escos if it was a weekend toy

[Dave.]

mine would have to be a escort cosworth

Same here!

[nova_sri_kid]

mine would have to be a evo 6 tommi makinen edition

[smcgsi16v]

Landis Delta Intergrale, don't mind what colour as I'm not fussy. I will just need alot of spare cash to fix or repair daily.

[Welsh Dan]

My first thought was the Atom, but then I remembered that we have a lot of cold, wet weather, so I'd choose the current M5 Saloon.

[burgo]

for as long as i can remember ive always wanted a jag xj220. now not exactly practicle i know but if ive got 700k i will have lots and lots of change. so would probably get an evo 6 gsr as my daily driver

[Welsh Dan]

The production XJ220 or prototype XJ220? If I remember correctly, the prototype was 4WD and had a v12, instead of the blown v6 that made it into production.

[burgo]

id be more than happy with a production one

[Spudly]

Id either go for a Lotus Carlton or in more practical terms a Cavalier Turbo, and as Lee said, track time lol

I'd be happy with either, or maybe a Bugatti - an EB110 SS both cars are in my top 5

ive wanted this car since i can remember

[vaughanmc]

I'd like a Nova Sport running a 2.0 16v on 45's but still have the original 1300 8v engine lying in the garage incase I ever needed to sell it

2.0 16v on 45's because it would be mega mega powerful but sound like a Nova Sport should sound :)

ive wanted this car since i can remember

ive gotta admit that is another car i would love to have

[Nova_Tek]

Bubba bang on mate, Wanted that car since it first came out and I was a lil kid. I even went to see it at the Earls Court Motor Show. Sat in it too boy was I happy. +rep mate.

I agree with Lee but people who can buy a 700k car have way more then a 1m in the bank and it's just a small slice of their savings. They'd be easily able to afford any issues that happen.

I'd probably want a VXR8 Bathhurst and a Lotus Carlton with my LET Nova and another non Vaux car luxury car, but it would be a difficult choice.

[Mike]

Baby blue Bentley Continental with the cream leather interior. Thats what id mostly be wanting today....

Tomorrow i think id like an off white Range Rover Sport being as its Monday an all....

Tuesday. Hmmmmm, a completely standard Corsa GSi to hoon around in. Then use the Range to pull it out the telegraph pole ill stack it into.......

Wednesday..... a nice Corsa C SRi to drop a grand piano on, then put it on Corsa sport "look what i done today, sacrilidge!"

Thursday.....911 Turbo day...

Friday...wake up & stop dreaming, get in my van an go to work.....

[L14MNP]

RS200 Evo. No question. Parts available, body won't rust :) Just the BDA to worry about lol.

[Bubba]

Id either go for a Lotus Carlton or in more practical terms a Cavalier Turbo, and as Lee said, track time lol

how is a cav turbo more practical? its jus a smaller carlton hehe

[Stuart]

As always comes up with my dream car.

A Jensen FF with a farking good refurb with that 700K lol infact with that much it might be able to be made into a well handling fast car :)

[Spudly]

how is a cav turbo more practical? its jus a smaller carlton hehe


Cos you wouldnt really want to leave the Lotus anywhere for fear of it being vandalised by jealous mofo's whereas not many people would notice a cavalier parked in the street, well not in a bad way as lots of people look at mine but ive not had her scratched or damaged (touches wooden coffee table in front of him) lol

[Jack]

You're all homos, I would have this.

http://www.automotivetraveler.com/images/stories/easygallery/resized/73/1209525542_Buzz_Graves_1970_Dodge_Challenger_RT_He mi_image2.jpg

YES I would drive it every day too.

Mind you, for the days I didn't drive it, I'd also have this:

http://www.point-cars.com/files/ROADRUNNER/pss_frn.jpg

There's an orange one on ebay at the moment for £40k. I'm saving my pennies lol

ahhh i'd no what i'd have and with 700k i'd be able to run it everyday lol

audi quattro, metro 6r4, c20let nova 4wd

[L33 LEG]

If i had 700k to spend on a car or a selection of cars the first car I'd buy would be a 993 turbo :)

[L14MNP]

Are we allowed several? lol

RS200, F40, 959 and a fcuking big smile with a fat pocket.

[craig green]

A Nova for every day of the week. A mint rstored model of all the iconic 80's & 90's hot hatches.

The car I most want is a bright Red Integrale Evo. To blast accross the welsh mountains in one would be ace, infact the Alps actually. Better weather probably.

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd351/fontheking4/S1030199.jpg

I'm easily pleased.

[kc_08]

amazingly high powerd 4wd nova (poss let, cossie 4wd) crazy powerd golf, wouldnt buy anything majorly expensive just pour the money into it, or maybe an m5 as keep watching videos and the noise is just pure sex!! maybe a bike engine car?

[Bubba]

i might be tempted by a 67 impala in black

[Rysee]

Oh hell yeah Craig 2nfd fave car to the Manta 400

Bah.

Gimme Doughboys over that '67 any day.

if it was me, id have a unit like burgos and fill it with everyday cars with insane engines, but top of the list is elanor.....
last count my list of stuff i want was at 78.....

[craig green]

Oh hell yeah Craig 2nfd fave car to the Manta 400

Yeah the Grale's arent all that attractive tbh, but when encountering one in the flesh, you just know its something special. A bit like seeing an Escort Cosworth in a car park full of 1.3 Escort L's.

[Edd]

Intergrale for me too.

Nova on steroids !!

awesome pic that Craig btw.

[L14MNP]

Yeah the Grale's arent all that attractive tbh, but when encountering one in the flesh, you just know its something special Except when you spy an 8v N/A minus the flared arches etc. Weak.
This makes up for that thought though. lol
http://fiatcoupe.maranellohouse.com/myPictures/evo_m_wheel_vent_fitted..jpg
I'd love an Evo Integrale, yellow with grey leather for me please.

[Spudly]

Limp whats the doohickies on the front wheels all about, something to aid brake cooling?

[L14MNP]

No idea Paddock. Look to be a similar sort of setup to this?

[craig green]

Someone needs to paint a Nova up like that Rally spec Integrale.

[Spudly]

Someone needs to paint a Nova up like that Rally spec Integrale.


Im sure ive seen that done at some point tbh lol


And this might make you moist, my mates gargae have an evo spec integrale like the red one you posted on the ramps in for a major rebuild, also in the corner of the workshop they have a white hatchback manta b GT/E:cool:

[L14MNP]

Aye there's been one featured with the Lancia/Martini works colours I'm almost certain. As Mr Potatoe head says, there's 100% been one made though.

[CP]

If I could possibly afford it, i absolutely would buy a Veyron. Whilst I see the point of an Atom and endless trackdays, it just doesn't compare - the veyron is in a whole different world of its own anyday of the week

[Lee]

Thing is, thats what ive always thought, but have a really hard think about what it would be like to actually own it. Just because you have loads of money, doesnt mean your going to be happy to blast your zonda down a back road and risk ruining it! Really try to imagine its on your drive right now.

[Mike]

A multi millionaire bloke we contract to only has a 59 reg M3, a Civic 5 door (new shape one) an a top of the range Merc Sprinter. But he the same, just because he can afford super cars, he just doesnt want them.

[Lee]

If I could possibly afford it, i absolutely would buy a Veyron. Whilst I see the point of an Atom and endless trackdays, it just doesn't compare - the veyron is in a whole different world of its own anyday of the week

But how could you use a veyron in day to day situations? Comfort? You could get that from 100k's worth of Merc. It doesnt need to go 245mph and cost 800 grand, and use eleventy gallons of fuel just to go to the shops. :)

[Benn]

After driving a Porsche, Ferrari and working on them, i wouldn't touch them with your hands. They are both horrible cars. Have sat in a Zonda and its very cramped.

[Rexy]

Ive got mine, its no super car... but its a realistic B road hanimal and can be driven everday even in winter and has a lot of potential to abuse said supercars.

[scott.parker]

Well i would buy allot of 80's 90's super/sports cars, porkers/Ferrari's etc, and have top spec xe'd ascona a, and manta b's in rally track prep and in nice road form etc, and most performance fords, such as escort cossy, Sapphire cossy, s2 rst, mk2 escort xe'd etc

Oh and a money no object build nova track car/and mint sport like Dec's old one, basically if you have 700K then your imaginations the limit etc.

Scott

[dannyb]

Theres a rally nova round this way done in martini colours.

Said on another thread that I saw one years ago on Bognor Regis seafront during holiday maker season. Would definitely like to create one of my own with a white more door!

With a massive budget, I'd love a Pug 205 T16, an Audi RS2 for practicality and a EB110 to show off in.

[Rickardo]

THE coolest car ever.

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/rickgpz/Eleanor_Mustang.jpg



I'd also like my brothers Mk1 Let Astra.

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/rickgpz/astra.jpg

[Dar]

I would probably buy an R8. Or maybe the Gallardo vairiant. Or maybe a GT-R.
I would have an Exige for the track.

[Spudly]

Rick, is that the mk1 with the cav GSi front bumper?

[blacknovagsi]

mine would be a 1967 gt390 mustang or a shelby cobra

[Rickardo]

Rick, is that the mk1 with the cav GSi front bumper?

Sure is, Cav front and rear bumpers. Frontera rear lights as well.

[mowgli]

as an everyday car, if i was only allowed the one........probably something like a subaru forester, or a new Discovery/rangerover sport..

because most dream cars are hugely impractical in some respect,

a proper mini with 120hp would be hilarious to drive, but bouncy & noisy..
an rs cosworth (any of them) would be such a target for thieves & vandals
an F1GTR would be awesome but you would lose your licence within seconds.
a turbo nutter 4wd nova would stop it being a nova, in my view.
all supercars are like works of art, nice to look at, but at risk at all times.

my old moggie minor pickup was a great vehicle to drive, and everyone loved it. it couldn't go over 70mph, but it handled like a large go kart, and made funny exhaust farting noises when you changed down a gear... but it was rotten as a pear & only had 2 cramped seats...


Ps. Burgo. the prototype xj220 which was launched at the motorshow was a truly beautiful creature. the production one looks a lot like it but was a huge thing with a twin turbo 6r4 engine, the very limited edition xjr15 was more like the original one, and TWR made both.....coincidence?????

[Spudly]

As if thats your brothers, ive looked and drooled over that astra many times at the shows, would prefer it with oe spec bumpers but feck me its nice:thumb:

It is our kid's car. Seriously. It took him 9 yrs to build it. Thats why i wanted a turbo, it's immense.

Pv 08 was it's first outing. We were still putting it together an hour before we left.

Aye thats where i first saw it and there was a thread on a forum, i forget which where they wouldnt beleive it was using cav bumpers, looks to me like GSi front and SRi hatch rear bumpers but i was shunned as not knowing and told they were fibreglass copies:tard:

They are no copies. Each bumper took him over 50 hours to fabricate.. He is mental.. But it stands out to be sure.

Your right about the Gsi front ans Sri rear.

[Spudly]

Ooh ive impressed myself there as i was correct in spotting, and tbf i reckon if you tell your kid ive spotted not only the model but the bodyshape cav the bumpers came from will be a testament to his good work on them too, you will have to introduce me at one of the shows and let me have a proper nosey round it if you dont mind!

[Rickardo]

He won't mind, he is an ASW. lol

Number 2 piston melted, so it has had a rebuild recently

[Jim]

Taking into account Lee's criteria, if it was just one car that had to suit my current needs I would probably look at the new 4 door M3 (or Merc equivalent). I'm sure there are fancier cars out there which I can't think of at this moment, but I can get a baby seat in the back of the M3, drive in relative comfort across country on either the motorways or A/B roads, get the weekly shopping in the boot and then when I fancy it, take it on track for a good thrashing.

[MK999]

Much as I don't fancy admitting wanting in on the "fast and furious" scene
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/2695396886_5fcbe7f19f.jpg
Pretty awesome cars and massive potential to harass 700k worth of car, seen one parked up in reading before and had to have a look round it even though I tried to walk past so I didn't look like I was trying to rob it, after getting out of my nova next to it in a hoodie lol

However with millions and millions around I could see myself actually driving a large chunk of my money around, it's what I did in the nova being a skint student, just a far smaller scale money wise lol Cars and my bank balance will always have a near linear inverse relationship lol

http://www.madwhips.com/upload/images/f430_scuderia_4-568-426.jpg
Race car on the roads :) Have seen one drive by and the noise it made under a bridge was immense, and the fact it's a short 40 limit road, means he probably didn't even have his foot down :d

However for looking less like a nob, something aston martin maybe, and there would definitely be a muscle car in the garage, probably next to the mk1 manta... RB26 in that would probably be useful for swapping parts over, buying in doubles etc :d

To be fair if there was room I'd probably have a nova kicking around as well... haven't driven mine in about a month and miss it already, something addictive about the simplicity and the way they drive

[Paul]

its the best looking car ever built, best sounding car ever built, at its time was one of the quickest cars ever built, can still mix it up with the big boys today. I love cars having the stripped out look, hence mine, it can be a poser car or an animal, best of both worlds.

I rather like the way my buckets used to 'hug' me in the car, and loved being in scotts surrounded by cage, clutch not so good, no one likes a heavy clutch lol Is it wrong I read that last bit as "satisfyingly raw gear linkage"? lol

edit: think paul is on the same wavelength, stripped out in cars is the best way. As someone once said to me: "you only like something if it's stripped and caged don't you" lol

If i could only have 1 car it would be a nova with a shell made out of carbon fibre and a spacefame and some stupid HP LET.

If not id have a mk2 escort,nova,sierra saph cosworth,XR2 Fiesta.

Anyone can go out and buy a supercar aslong as theyve made the money to pay for it.

But to build something yourself that can beat supercars, thats much better.

But how could you use a veyron in day to day situations? Comfort? You could get that from 100k's worth of Merc. It doesnt need to go 245mph and cost 800 grand, and use eleventy gallons of fuel just to go to the shops. :)

Trust me I could easily. Its a hypercar, I'd be in it every chance I got. It wouldn't worry me that it wasn't practical. We spend our whole lives saddled with practicalities. A hypercar is a way to escape all that is mundane boring and grey. It captures the very essence of what it is to be a petrolhead. Even stuck in a traffic jam in it you'd be living a dream
