A which car thread...

[LoveCurryPies]

Totally off topic and purely for fun....if you could have any car in the world for free, and practicalities like the cost of insurance, servicing, fuel consumption etc didn’t matter....what would you choose?

Would you go for a classic or the very latest car? Is there one car you have always dreamed of?

[TVC15]

Aston Martin for me I think - any type would do...i’m not a greedy man !

Classic car wise love the E Type and also some of the earlier Ferraris.

[LoveCurryPies]

I saw your username TVC and thought you would be a TVR person.

I’m probably with you in choosing an Aston.

[Caballo]

Lancia 037 Stradale

[Wokingclaret]

I'm a sad b*st*rd, a new Peugeot every two years will do me


My folks started with the 04 series and now we're stuck in time with the 08 repeated series

3008 or the new 508

Yes, if one car was going to challenge my choice of an Aston Martin, it would be the Jensen. As a kid, I loved that huge rear window. Can you imagine what that piece of glass cost?

Like most threads, it’s being done again. You don’t have to take part.

If it has I picked the Jensen then

[LoveCurryPies]

There are some incredibly beautiful Alfa Romeos from the 40’s and 50’s. Worth googling.

[Goobs]

Jaguar XJ220, Ferrari F40 or an Aston Martin Valkyrie

My dad used to have a metallic purple one with white leather and green tinted windows, 75 ish, it was bloody massive.

[piston broke]

McLaren 720s

[Dyched]

1970s stock Ford F100. Yes seriously a pick up truck. There not even overly expensive at all. One day!!

First saw one 70/71 on coal clough lane of all places it definitely had the Wow! Factor.

[Rick_Muller]

Aston Martin Valkyrie - saw the prototype up close and personal and it is a marvel of engineering and innovation.

[Wisswosswass]

Might be a bit weird but I always wanted a Land Rover. Not one of your fancy new fangled ones. Practicality rules in this house so, approaching a mid-life crisis and just to wind the missus up. A TVR. Two seats. One for me and one for one of the dogs.

[claretblue]

Hilman Imp!

[Masham Ale]

Type 35 Bugatti

[ClaretRoob]

Either a Ferrari 330 GTO or Ford RS200 Evo.

[SalisburyClaret]

1964 Lotus Elan - in claret

[Sutton-Claret]

Ferrari 288 GTO

stayed in an airbnb in the Blue Ridge Mountains, about three weeks ago, and the owner had a Morgan. He took me for a spin in it. If this thread had been before that I would have said a Morgan, but sadly I was disappointed with it.

I launched a thread a couple of years ago (might have been the old board) about an exhibition passing by one of our museums, and it featured art deco cars - the best visiting exhibition I ever saw. I'd have any of those, possibly the 1937 DeLaHaye 135m Roadster, but with modern engineering under the hood and interior!

in other words, art deco design, combined with today's technology

[karatekid]

Audi R8 Spyder in white. Not too OTT but enough to get noticed.

Like most threads, it’s being done again. You don’t have to take part.

It was a joke, referencing my all time best ever thread on the old site (yup, even better than the 4K watch).

Basically, people told me what car they drove, and from that I gave them a very detailed character analysis.

Based on your reaction, I’m going for a Citroen c4 cactus. Ugly, unreliable and misses the point completely in the fact that it has 4 x 4 pretensions, but chooses to reinforce the doors.

[superdimitri]

Doesn't get better than this.

[Spaceman]

In real life I love my Peugeot 205 and my VW camper . Total original purchase price for both 1500 quid.
Spent plenty since on the bus mind. Can't be much of it left that's original .

[dougcollins]

Ha ha 1fat, yes, I think I recall being a TR7 (sadly long gone now).

[Burt]

Easy...Pagani Zonda Roadster

[Lord Beamish]

I need a 4x4 where I live, and I like convertibles.
I know it’s a bit ‘handbag’ but the soft top Range Rover Evoque would do just fine.

[Tribesmen]

Not big into cars really but the wife has always wanted a Audi TT , hey it would keep her happy for a couple of weeks .

There was no reference to your old thread on another forum. Strange you therefore this I should know it was a joke.

I do however agree with your hate of the Citroen Cactus.

But I don’t own one.
