Hypothetical scenario - there's no rules/regulations anymore so you can drive/own any car you want, as long as it exists.
No budget, no limitations, just has to be something on the road somewhere in the world. I'd love to get my dirty hands on a Hyundai Equus Limousine, with 5L V8 naturally: 300KW+ LWB Korean Weapon! Mercedes S63 AMG: BMW M760Li: Lastly, AM General HMMWV - just for the shops run: What would you have? |

I think your scope is a bit narrow.
My list would include a (bronze coloured) Gold Wing and lifetime rail passes for me, passenger and bike. Plus a white SWB work van with injected Busso power and the six gear Selespeed box. A ‘67 MPW coupé black on burgundy, with hydraulic front struts. A triple blue Silver Spur. For shopping duties a knucklehead powered golf cart fully engineered and registered. For hauling and cruising, just my AB110 finished and with AC. |

That’s so shiny, you’d hear the sunlight glinting off it, as you motored along.

It was either the Prevost or a class 8 toy hauler.

I can't possibly know what I want but I agree that a 911 turbo would be a short term solution while I figure it out. And I'm sure I'd have a **** load of fun doing so

The two cars at the top of my dream car list are the Aston Martin DB9 and Jaguar F-Type R.
The DB9 is a timeless design, even more than the latest generation of Astons, and the naturally aspirated 5.9 V12 sounds so good. The F-Type is a stunning looker and has an amazing supercharged V8 that sounds like an angry beast and go's like no tomorrow. Haven driven one a couple of times, I just can't get it out of my head.

I've already built my dream car
Why stop at one though? So hypothetically speaking the poster on my wall as a kid was of a black AC Cobra. I've set a deadline, before I'm 50 to own one, so still several years yet. I need to finish the Cortina then this is next on the list.

Lc torana gtr xu1. Yeah 186, but i like them. Everything later was better. But i like lc toranas. I have a history of toranas whether that be 202 or 308 or retrofit 304. But small cars and adequate power. Lc's looked the part.

Nothing wrong with a 202 or 186.
