Who needs 10 cars..

I'd keep my Jeep, but get someone else to clean it!
Toyota Landcruiser VX (Huge muver) to tow the Jeep in comfort (Poss Jap import to get the lexus spec on it)
Lexus IS-F - Fast / comfort
Mitsi Evo 9 400 - Nutty days
And poss a Porsche 911 of some form as I have always liked them since I was a nipper

oh, and my own bit'o'land to play on....

Then maybe some sort of competition car to run, but not sure if Rally or offroad type competitions.

Looking at some of the cars on here they take me back to my watching rallying after school days.

6R4 - what a machine
Delta Intergrale - How I drooled after one !!
You forgot the 205 Mi16

When I was younger I really really wanted a.........309 GTI in white  :oops:

I think if I had a choice then I'd have a fleet of Land Rovers, i'm off cars, I always crash them, my brother in law picked up a BMW 319 TI compact and I wrote it off the same day  :oops:  so:
Disco TD5 - still not sure on new shape
110 CSW or 4 door cab pick up
Range Rover sport - For SWMBO - school run  :lol:
P38a Rangie Rover as I've always like them
My Disco 'created' the way I want it
and not being greedy, a Bowler
Moved over to the dark side - Suzuki's !

I wouldn't want 10 cars really.... I've done the 911, Ferrari 308 (even had a big moustache at the time!!  :oops: ) and TestaRossa thing and although the 911 (original 1973 RS 2.7) was awesome, I wouldn't want to own one now.

So, in addition to the Land Rover.....

1. Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta lightweight (the most beautiful car ever made).
2. Citroen DS Chapron convertible (the second most beautiful car ever made!).
3. 1957 Cheverolet Bel-Air (got to have a bit of bling in your life!).

That would be enough to keep me drooling at their beauty (wouldn't need to drive them, just stroke them gently..... err, sorry, cough, got carried away there!)   :D

Would like to try a Pagani Zonda.... but I can't see me enjoying it around narrow Norfolk lanes  :lol:


Edit: Ha! Greeni, you beat me to it with the 250GT  :D

Had a ride in a T16 while I worked at Lotus.... unbelieveably quick car  :shock: And it was only a Clubman spec..... a mere 400 BHP IIRC! Didn't get to drive it though.... funny, they wouldn't let me!

Working for Lotus Engineering did have it's bonuses and subsequently working in the classic car industry, you get to meet some very nice (and generous!) people. Had the loan of an original Lotus Elan Sprint for a couple of weeks...... broke down at least 3 times, but it was huge fun while it was going  :lol:

The T16 was an active technology test bed. So it was running active suspension, brakes, 4 wheel steering and torque split. The whole thing was basically drive by wire. There was absolutely no loss of traction off the line regardless of how agressively you accelerated, so you can imagine how quick it was  :twisted:
