Default Cars I want to own, hows about you...

In parallel to the "Cars I have owned, how about you" what cars from today or classics would you plan to own in the future or wish you'd owned back in the day.

I'd still like (and plan to own) any of the following....

MKII Escort
Sierra Sapphire Cosworth
Ferrari 308 GTB
Opel Manta 400


With the exception of the Ferrari the others take me back to when I was a kid spectating at rally events. Loved those cars back then, still love them now.

Ariel Atom 300 (mental )
Audi Coupe S2 (always liked shape)
Audi RS2 (preferably tuned by Digitec)(awesome, esp Digitec @204mph & 3.4s)
BMW M Coupe (the funny looking one, not 3 series)(320bhp RWD )
Corrado VR6 (got into Scoobs before owning the best C )
Volvo P1800 (always liked them since seeing one as a kid)
Skyline R34 (speaks for itself)
Evo X (Subaru are gonna get slayed when this is launched)
Nissan 350Z (more RWD fun)
Aston V8/DB9/Vanquish (all beautiful, all beyond my reach )
Ferrari F430 (magnificent and beyond me)

If/when I sell my Scoob I will be starting up a small business, but when the money becomes available to buy into the performance car market again I would like to make my way through several of these before settling on whatever's best at that time (more than likely the Evo X).

Mmm only two on my list:

Renault 5 GT Turbo
(new) 911

I always wanted a R5, and dream of the day when I can drive out of the showroom with a brand new Porsche (and it has to be new, for some reason...).

I'd like;

Escort MK1 RS1600 if I could find one (last I heard there was only 14 still registered if my memory serves me correctly).
Failing that Escort mk1 RS2000 or even better a Twin Cam but I doubt I'd find one of those either.
Escort mk2 RS2000.
Forester STI.
Impreza 22b or P1.
Aston Martin DB9.

I think some people are getting carried away here. I thought the question was the type of cars you could or would realistically own one day? (But on the other note, if you did have a dream garage, there would be no rush to go out and but 15 or 20 cars. Would be better to keep to about 5 at anyone time)

Anyway, I aim to have, when money is better and the wife stops me spending money on the house (prices at the moment but should drop more in the future):

In a couple of years, budget less than 30k:
1) sourced Supra TT Tuned Manual to a genuine 700bhp+ (25k)
2) or R33 GTR (non vspec) tuned to 500-600bhp but low lag turbos (less than 20k)
3) or Evo 9RS tuned to 500bhp low lag (25k)

A few years on, budget less than 60k, although prices will drop further:
Noble M400 (55k)
996 Turbo, tuned to 600bhp by DMS for low lag (second hand now 60k)
Ultima GTR640 (55k)


Thats me.
