1. Sierra or Escort Cosworth
2. Nova SR T40 (tick)
3. S1 RST
4. RX7 (FD model - soon to be ticked)
5. EK Civic Type R
6. Integra Type R (DC5 model)
7. 106 Rallye (phase 2)
8. Skyline GTR (any model)
9. Evo 3
10. Caterham (but build it myself as oppose to buy pre done)

Ive had loads of radom cars, but those are the ones id like to have owned to be able to say "yes ive had a xxxx an yes there ace/shÃ*t etc)

All the other hot hatch type cack (R5 Turbo, 205 GTi's, 106 GTi's etc) ive already had an liked/disliked.

ive owned a lot of the cars ive wanted but on the to do list are

1 escort cosworth
2 rs200
3 mk1 escort
4 mk1 lotus cortina
5 mk2 escort
6 a mint nova sport
7 a sliver cav turbo
8 a twin bike engined track nova
9 a bathurst vxr8
10 a massive powered jap machin r34 skyline maybe an evo or blob eye scoob or a skylin engined 200sx or silvia

TBH Limp you'd struggle to find a decent Roadrunner for <£20k, unless you get a poverty spec one with something like a 318.

Realistically... starting with the two I've done so far.

1) V6 Nova saloon - always fancied a V6 when I first got the shell off Rexy.
2) Celica ST205 - remember seeing them when they first came out in 1994 and thinking "I'd like one of those one day". Totally forgot about them til I was looking to replace the nova saloon I sold 5 years ago!
3) Dolomite Sprint OR 1850HL - preferably in Brunswick Green. My dad had one and I loved it.
4) Skyline R33 GTR - don't care how fat and heavy they are, I still like them.
5) S197 Mustang GT - I'm not a great fan of Mustangs but it would be nice to have a bit of modern muscle. Can see them being cheap in a few years once the Camaro takes off.
6) 1969 Camaro SS - classic American pony car. I'd settle for a replica as legit SS/RS cars fetch big dollar.
7) Triumph TR6 - classic British sports coupe. Bit pricey though for a good one, as I'd be after a RHD version.
8) Triumph Stag V8 - can be picked up quite cheap, those left around these days mostly all have the original faults fixed up.
9) Toyota Glanza-V Turbo - if I got rid of the Nova and needed a second car, this would be at the top of my list
10) Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 - again, another second in line car to the Celica.

Problem is I doubt I'd actually get round to owning half of them as I tend to buy a car I like and stick with it for ages. I don't tend to swap my cars every few years just to get something else.

The Celica has a backup list, if I sold it tomorrow it would be GTO, RX-7, GTR, Supra or Galant. Wouldn't consider anything other than Japanese for my "primary" car tbh.

:cool:

Thing is though Jaques, no-one says they have to be roadworthy.

Don't p!ss on my Mopar fire lol. Same deal with the KGC10. Would be struggling to find a worthy one for £20k to my door.

If you have £40k to spare, there was always a rather tasty orange GTX on ebay. There was a yellow track prepared one on there too for a lot less $$$ but the owner put up a vid of him seriously abusing it in a car park. FAIL lol

3. R34 skyline, must be getting cheap before i'm 40 :p
4. S2000, hard topped to avoid the hairdresser look
