Default Which would you rather have.............

out of the following three cars?

Sadly, I only own one of them, the M3 and Monte both belong to a mate of mine, jammy git

Picked the Monte up yesterday with him, another pic here to dribble over, will always have a soft spot for the Escort Cosworth, number 006 of the ltd edition Monte, I think this is one of the earliest ones that can be traced

They are all lovely cars. I'd have the BMW just because its the most expensive. Although if money wasn't an issue i'd choose the BWM last. I love the cossie but im not to keen on the wheels

All nice cars but all different IMO, BMW excellent every day car, Skyline, good fair weather car (would want to get it dirty !) and I would keep the cossie for a dry weekend car only.

The wheels on the cosworth look superb in the flesh, much nicer than the wheels found on the standard cars. They were only supplied with the Monte's and make the car IMHO

Good lad

Would anyone change their minds if I said the M3 is totally standard, the monte is stage 1 running approx 270BHP and the skyline is a 500+BHP monster ?

Phew, a few more votes for the skyline, was starting to get seriously done over by the cossie Bit more respectable now!

Can't remember how many Montes were made but the skyline is a uk car and I think only 100 or so were officially sold by middlehurst so not as common as you think
