    your Dream Car?

    So whats fellow hexians have you got your hearts set on? if money was no objective what would you all drive? be as specific as you want....

    to start it off

    I really want a Evo, either evo X or evo 8. I know they arent that fast or expensive, theres just something about them. The one Top Gear destroyed tonight would be exactly it.TBH if i had something more expensive than a evo, i would sell it to get the evo

    now your turn

    Re: your Dream Car?

    I'd go with the new R8 as well, I think, tbh I never really go down the road of what car if money wasn't as object, I tend to categorise my cars into what there use would be

    As it stands so far theres only 1 car I've realistically wanted but never had and that was a Mk2 Cav Sri-130 hatch, next car on the realistic list is a VX220. And yes, I'm a VX man

    My needs are not that great - it would be a Lotus Exige S in Yellow...



    But cars I wish i'd had the chance to own are:
    Ford Sierra RS500/Cosworth in Black
    Fiat Coupe 20vT LE in Sprint Blue
    Alfa GTV Cup Edition
    Lamboghini Countach - like eshrules I grew up drooling over that car

    I'd have to give an Ariel Atom a go. Who wouldn't want to drive a 300bhp go-cart?

    Re: your Dream Car?

    I'll regret just saying one but nevermind..

    Metro 6R4

    My first dream car was a Lotus Esprit, in fact I think it's my earliest memory.. but it's staying as a dream and a memory as I refuse to ruin it.

    good choice... that'd probably be my go-to car too... although theres something to be said for something less practical and more fast...

    Veyron anyone?

    Re: your Dream Car?

    I think I'd take the money spent of Vayron and buy as RS6 and a top of the line Atom or similar.... then buy a house

    Yes, I'm boring like that.

    Re: your Dream Car?

    I wouldn't want a Veyron. You'd have plebs gawping at it everywhere you go, then there will be the chavs in their Saxo VTS trying to race you everywhere.



    I like the look of the Audi R8 very much. I've seen a few around here and they look great every time.

    I've always wanted an Aston Martin DB9. The styling seems perfect. Beautiful.



    At the lower end, I want a ZCars modified Mini, or a Fisher Fury. ZCars put a choice of engines in the back of a classic Mini to make them fast and RWD. The Fury is a kitcar which kind of takes its styling from the 60s and 70s. Each can be had for £10,000-20,000.
