your Dream Car?

[staffsMike]

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

Hence regreting just one

That is my dream car though, I couldn't care less about shopping trips when we're talking dream cars. The RS6/M5 crowd are nuts.. in my most humble of opinions Not that they aren't fantastic cars but I'd want something special if we are talking dreams, where are the Ferrari 275 GTB's, lancia Stratos, RS200's?

Let your boyish dreams run wild.

I'll admit to being nuts, but the car is insane and does everything I'd want my dream car to do;

5.0L V10 Bi-turbo, Quattro, 570 bhp, 480 ft-lbf, with space for my entire family (and sufficient means to keep them safe) and luggage and room on the roof for some bikes.

[staffsMike]

You had me at 570 bhp and lost me at luggage and bike racks

I actually don't believe a "family car" should be that fast or desireable. Of course you can drive it nice and slow when they are in it etc.. and drive it fast when they aren't but for me I would rather go to two extremes (two cars) and have one that I could enjoy and one to keep the little lady and sprogs safe in. Each to their own though

Sounds like the best compromise dream car to me.

I am being realistic to my present situation - I have a wife and son to fit in my car - I need Isofix, goddamnit!

Dream man.. DREAAAAAAM!

Anyone saying RS6 or M5 Touring I want to hear your boyish dream cars just for funsies because this is just depressing

Clio Cup : Fun on the Cheap
Lamborghini Reventón : For when cash is no object

Oooh 'ark at Mike the killjoy, getting all mardy on us!

Ok, seeing as you've broken the rules and you're not letting me have the ONE car I want... and you're goading me to get my balls out....

I pick three;

An original Audi S1, mid 80s, liveried up

Delta HF Integrale Evo, livery optional

Early 90s W124 Brabus 500E (saloon)

[Andeh13]

Combination of a Land Rover Discovery 3, or a Land Rover Defender 110! Global Warming FTW!

[Gfinch]

Bentley Continental I think.

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

Eer, no. Being an owner of an 02 reg Alfa i can safly say that the reliability is not that of any other car. The engines are pretty good (so far anyway) but there's still a fair few problems that shouldn't really be occuring.
You can start by googling alfa 147 gear linkage, the problems happened to me twice in 8000 miles (and i drive sensibly) Annoying thing is the parts so cheap i' don't get charged for it but it's 2 hours work for the garage so get done that way.

I have to say i think i've got my dream car.

My Audi S5 (although i'm not to sure i like the image audi's are getting).

Nice and fast and praticalish.

[Vimeous]

Porsche 917-30 Can-am but if that breaks the rules a little too much it'd be a '74 911 RSR 3.0.

[jimbouk]

It's in my sig, but I'd like a bare metal respray and a clean interior...

[lodore]

probaly a Nissan GTR
I saw one at my local nissan dealer a few months ago. it looks so much better seeing it with your own eyes!

[spazman]

Audi Quattro S1
