Scoop

I did mean the new one. But if we are talking classic Bentleys a huge 4.5 would do me.
Pic of a Red Label for you. Shame you had to sell yours

Not mine I think the DB7 Vantage looks better.

I suppose I'd have to settle for:

Pagani Zonda C12S
Audi RS2 for loadlugging
Last one would be a toss-up between a F550 Maranello, Aston DB7 Vantage or some sort of Bentley. It's very difficult, coz you have to leave room for a track weapon as well (Superlight R500, Ultima CanAm, etc.)

This morning, on the Braintree bypass, I saw a BMW X5 towing a Caterham Superlight R500 on a trailer. Not a bad combination

[Edited to say I thought about this on the way home, too, and need to find space for a 288 GTO, a 246 Dino and a 911 Turbo (practical everyday transport) too. It's all too difficult...]

Audi RS4 WITH : sorted alloys, suspension and MTM stage 3 or 4 conversion

Ferrari 550 Maranello, with Koenig twin turbo engine conversion and all other necessary modifications

AND since it 3, and ONLY 3 vehicles for purely selfish reasons, and to bring me back down to earth, AND because I have ALWAYS wanted one, a Peugeot 205 Gti 1.9

Astraboy,

it said 5 million not 50 million, with your 5 million you'd barely be able to afford to take the cars anyway!!!

Worked it out mate. The cars would cost just shy of 2.5 mill. Thats with all tuning work, 50k each for the Group B stuff and a mill for the F1 car.
That leaves 2.5 mill for the exact replica of the local 1 way system

Cool

Cool thread
Bit of a thinker though!

I'd go for:

1. Maclaren F1 LM.
2. R34 Skyline (Tuned to about 800bhp and fully race-kitted by Jun).
3. 1999 Impreza WRC Tarmac spec (Minus stickers and logos).

Then i'd go to Japan and compete in all those illegal midnight street races with the Skyline

Did any of you read about some Japanese bloke who brought over his Top Secret Supra (1000 bhp) inorder to illegally do 200mph on the A1??

Well he only managed 197 i think....
