Default Must own cars before you die

Ok lets not go mad here, lets list cars which we WILL own before we pop off. You can of course add cars you have owned and feel should be on the list too.

1. Classic mini - My first car, overall had 5 classics mini's and they are superb to say the least.
2. 3.0 ltr Capri - Everyone should experience the rear wheel drive legend.
3. TVR - Just the sound alone is enough
4. Scoob / EVO - bang for buck excellence

Now for the ones I have yet to own

5. BMW M3 - dont ask me why, but my head tells me I will own one sometime. Maybe E30 track car, maybe new model, maybe CSL, maybe whatever is around in 10 years who knows.
6. Caterham / westy - Can't not try one now can you?
7. Porsche 911 - Really not a lover of them but you cant argue with what they are capable of. Got to try one I think.

I think that pretty much wraps up what I have a ''I'll have one of those one day'' hankering for.

Whats on your list?

Owned and should have owned

1. Reno5 GTT (the real hot hatch, over shadowed by an overated 205 IMO)
2. Mazda RX7, much power though RWD and looks the part too
3. Impreza (only other car Ive owned really and is an icon, think everyone aspires to one at some point)

Need to own

4. TVR, same reason as you, the sound is sex and the looks are better than a ferrari
5. Skyline, need I really have to say why?
6. Ferrari, again I dream car, this is one Ive chucked in that Id love to own, not sure if I'll ever be able to afford one but I'll have a bl00dy good try

Had... And would recommend everyone tries at least once...

3.0 Capri (2 of) - Best muscle car for the masses ever.
Saxo VTS - Hardly iconic but superb handling. Glad I've experienced it.
Celica GT4 - The definitive AWD Turbo Rally Rep

On the list...

Escort or 3dr Sierra Cosworth (I wanna Whaletail ) as a 2nd car though.
Skyline R34 GTR
Vauxhall/Holden Monaro
and one day I must get a mint Golf GTi Mk 2 16v

I don't really aspire to much car wise but I'm sure the list will grow. These are just the next few foreseeable buys

Cars I have always fancied...


Audi UR 20v Quattro (THE Original Rally Legend)
Escort Cosworth (Rally Legend, and I'm a Ford Boy)
Sierra RS500 (Got Scalextrix Touring Car Set when I was a kid, Black Texaco 500 was my fav!!)
TVR Tuscan (For the sound and look of it)
STi V6 Type-R (Saw Peccy's off here, and was a Big Fan)
BMW M5 (When I'm older, and want the pace & practicality this will be suspect No.1)

Think thats it, for now... If I see any other good suggestions from your guys I'll add to my list!!

I like older cars best, so what I really need is a barn and a tame mechanic. My dream fleet includes:

Interceptor FF
Datsun 240z
Jaguar XJC SII
De Tomaso Pantera

70s beauties!

If I hadn't had a mini already, that would be one too.

Remember guys the whole point of this thread was to put cars you WILL own before you die, NOT what you would like to.........

Spot on Mikey, you've got the right idea.

Doesnt anyone have a hankering after normal cars these days? Does it always have to be a £200,000 supercar?

Another one to add to my list ......

Some kind of cooper S modded for the track I should think.
