    Re: your Dream Car?

    I'd love an Alfa Romeo 8C in black. Absolutely stunning looking cars.



    Apart from that I'd love a shot in a Nissan GTR but I'm not so sure I could live with one.

    Re: your Dream Car?

    My dream car would be one that requires no fuel, tax, insurance or parts and labour. But as we know, that is just a dream...

    Indeed, Alfa's of the past maybe, but these days all cars are pretty much the same when it comes to reliability - I know someone who needed a new engine in a 1 year old Mazda 6 not long ago (under warranty of course).

    These days I think it's more about how fast Alfa's devalue, but then again I also know someone who paid £50k for an M5 just over a year ago and just got rid of it and they gave him £23k

    Back on topic though, forgot about the Alfa 8c Mmmmm

    Aston Martin DB9

    or an Alfa Romeo 156.

    Then again, I suppose it might be wiser for me to get my drivers license first
    Insert witty comment here.

    Re: your Dream Car?

    Tough choice, given the money I'm one of those people who who's garage would be bigger than house. Think I'll plump for the Aston DBS in black just so pretty.

    A rally car would be a pain if you wanted to nip to Tesco for some milk, or to take the family on holiday...

    I think I'd need to test drive an RS6 and an M5 Touring before making my choice. Then again, if we're talking dream cars, there's something magical about the Pagani Zonda.

    I love how insane zonda's are. New ones made from carbotanium Sounds like something from star trek. Looks even madder than the old ones too.
