AVB Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 If you are going to go for a classic then surely it has to be a DB5? I mean James Bond drives one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 My Dad had one of them in the 1980's. He had a silver hard top one. (308 GTB) It made a fantastic noise. He got "T boned" in it when he pulled out fast on a junction and went between one car towing another on a tow rope! Completely mangled it! They are getting rare now, the one with carbs (which he had) as opposed to fuel injection are very sought after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 an AMG G wagon, and i'd really like my dads old austin healy rag top. not very fast by todays standards but it got up to 120mph pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Another vote for the AMG G Wag on. I'd also like another air cooled 911 like I had in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Well depends on how much cash we are talking here. I'm not a greedy chap and so would love a really nice TDCI Land Rover 110 County, in a nice colour, decent tyres etc on it. For me it would be the perfect vehicle, will get the wife and my tree kids in, ideal everyday vehicle and for pottering around the farm, lamping etc. doesn't mind getting dirty, easily maintained, retains value well etc. If loaded then obviously something from the Ferrari stable, a Porsche 911 Turbo, Range Rover H&H, AC Cobra, an Aston etc etc. Kind regards Jonathan Edited January 24, 2013 by jgguinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny v Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 landrover defender 90 love 'em Had a defender 110 station wagon 3.5 v8 in petrol. One hell of a machine which achieved approximately 14 miles to the gallon. Regrettably fold it for next to nothing. Would definitely buy another.

AVB Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I get some of the choices on here If you want an out an out sports car then it's a Ferrari or Lambo etc. If you want a GT cruiser then an Aston etc. If you want a 4&x then it's a Land Rover etc. But I am not sure why the M5, RS4, Skyline etc? What exactly are they offering? I have been fortunate enough to either own or at least driven most of the cars mentioned. With an M5 or RS4 they just don't do it for me. Drive an Aston or a Ferrari and your ***** swell up every time you get in. You go into your garage just to look longingly at it. You don't with a BMW, Audi or Nissan regardless of what badge it has on the back. My opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yes I agree AVB, me no get the M5 / Skyline thing either. I mean they're within reach of most if you really want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 AC Cobra one of the most beautiful cars ever build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would save my money, these days I don't even own a car (my wife does) I just use one of the vans. Nice cars are just a big black hole into which you throw money. My wife has a Hyundai, its her second one, she loves it to bits. One day every car will be a Hyundai, what a beautiful car for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could afford an original AC Corba at about 300k I would not have to worry about the black hole money pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 You don't with a BMW, Audi or Nissan regardless of what badge it has on the back. You have answered your own question there, its the difference between a drivers car and posers car Although they don't appeal to me either, I totally get why people like the understated looks and let face it in some cases supercar beating performance. In the same way a Caterham R500 would embarrass almost all of the cars mentioned so far. Like the otehrs that have replied IF I had the choice, I would a have few cars for different occasions. I am not a huge Ferrari fan but I had go in this 360 on a few months ago, I have to concede it does sound amazing and goes like the proverbial.

Oh I can afford any car I want, There is not a single new car I couldn't buy if I wanted to. But the reason I can afford any car I want is because I am not stupid enough to waste my money any more. I've had them, the novelty wears off very quickly. AC Cobra would be a good choice because its simple, almost agricultural, and has an American V8 for which the parts are plentiful and cheap. You try running something with an Italian or British V12 DOHC fuel injected and tell me that you wouldn't be worried about the black hole money pit Edited January 25, 2013 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
