mine would be;
Mclaren F1 reason being, gotta drive the fastest car in the world
Subaru impreza the rallying feeling on the road
BMW M3 absolutely classic performance car
Ford mustang (any of them) absolutely lovely classic american muscle car, way ahead of its time when the 350 was built
Mini stonking classic british car, a must before you kick the sack

And a Honda Civic, Right before you die, its the law !

5 porsche of different flavours

5th..Maybach thing

gotta be

any tvr from the the griffith onwards
a group b rally car
an mr2 turbo (i've got one)
any old school hot hatch
aerial atom

Fiat Multipla (must be a TD). You own the road in this. No, I am serious.

Any Alfa made before 1994. Even Clarkson agrees with me on this. You haven't really felt the passion of motoring until you have owned an Alfa.

I think more towards car categories, example mini, saloon, estate, coupe, luxury, 4x4 suv, supercar and etc. if I've had one in all categories I'd be happy :D

Not sure about other people but for me it has to be:

1) Farrari - Challenge Stradle
2) Mercedes - any nice big new one will be ok (black)
3) Range Rover - with bullet proof shell (all the rage in Russsia now)
4) Subaru Impreza with all the possible mods pushing out 500bhp plus (street legal too) - have a standard STi8 at the moment
5) I'd like a 6th option as this would be a convertable and a mini cooper s

I change my mind every week but the top two are certain ;)

1 - Macca F1 (Ultimate speed)
2 - Porker 2.7 RS(Ultimate 911)
3 - Porker Carrera GT(Ultimate Roadster)
4 - Ferrari 250 GTO (Ultimate 'rari)
5 - Jaguar E type (Ultimate classic british sportscar)
I hate to miss out the 993 RS, 964 RSR, 288 GTO, F40, GT40, Lambo Muira, Stratos, Audi uR Quattro and a host of others, but *only* 5 to play with.
Cman

to appreciate the sublime you must first own the ridiculous

1. Citroen 2CV
2. A real Mini
3. VW Camper Van
4. Porsche 911
5. Mclaren F1/Ferarri F40/Enzo/other supercar

edited to add: So far I've owned 1-3, here is looking forward to no 4 and one day no 5.

[Edited by NACRO - 12/17/2003 7:29:37 AM]

1 - Road legal porker 917 (sod the "weedy" Macca F1) :D
2 - DB4 Zagato
3 - 934 RSR :D
4 - Daytona Le Mans
5 - Any 80's F1 turbo car

5 other things you MUST own ;)

1 - Spitfire or Mustang
2 - Nimitz class aircraft carrier
3 - Apache gunship - any version is adequate
4 - A10 Warthog - should settle most domestic disputes
5 - SR71 Blackbird - for when you're late :D

Craig, I had a MkIV Spitfire and apart from a really tight turning circle it really wasn't that good.
Rgds
C
;)

1. McLaren F1
2. Ferrari F355 (for the noise!)
3. Porsche 993 Turbo
4. Proper (old) Land Rover
5. Mk 2 Jaguar

1. Porsche 73RS
2. maclaren F1
3. Group B Audi Quattro
4. Any F1 car
5. Ferrari 250 GTO

NACRO yours the closest so far, but you are all wrong. the definitive list is :-


1) GT40 (the noel edmands one...pref with him tied to the rear bumper by his braces!)

2) F40

3) E-type

4) Lancia Delta Integralle (evo1 or >)

5) mini cooper S (orig, natch)

That's the closest yet, BobbyH !

1) AC Cobra
2) Ferrari 355
3) Porsche 911 Turbo
4) Caterham
5) Any generic, heavily modified (modifications costing more than the car!!) boy racer car (Just so you've done it!) - Impreza will fit the bill! ;)

Youn gotta go through the five stages of motoring to say you've walked the path of the petrolhead...
Supermini - Had one - Classic mini, never had so much fun in a car
Hot hatch - Got one - MkII Astra GTE Eventually it ran 15.6 1/4 miles with nitrous.
Affordable supercar - Had one - 3-door Sierra RS Cosworth. Awesome car. Will never forget our time together.
Supercar - Not yet ;) - Would probably go for the GT40 or the Ferrari F40. Or the Porsche 959.
Bonkers Rallycar- Not yet ;) - but I would like something from the Group B Era. Nice RS200 or Metro 6R4 would do the trick. :cool:
astraboy.

the lambo deserves a mention for the sheer hell of it.

1) Original Mini Cooper/Cooper S (had 1)
2) Peugeot 205gti (had several)
3) Lancia Delta Integrale / Scoob / Evo (had 2 out of 3, no EVO yet)
4) 2cv and/or LandRover (yep, both of those)
5) Ferrari 355, 360 or the king - the F40 (sadly none of those)

a mustang or cobra that has been fettled by carrol shelby would be pretty high in the top 10...

For me its gonna have to be.....

Impreza 22b
GT-40
Evo 8 FQ-380
Skyline R34
Ferrari 360
Lambo Gallardo
