Well, nearly November the 5th 2020.
We can do bikes another day if there's any other two wheel fans out there?

So whats' your five then?

There's no monitory limit like PH, just for a bit of fun....

I might change mine, but at the moment the iitches are in no reaonsable environmentally friendly order:


  • The 2015 F-Type V8R - Series I - Because they look and sound the best and best Pwr/wt ratio
  • 1950's Hudson Lead Sled, de-seamed, chopped and lowered - because they are quite simply artwork
  • Catreham 620R - If you're gonna die, there's no better way to go!
  • Lambo Miura SV - Again, bootiful as Mr Matthews would say
  • RS6 Avant Performance Plus- To tow the Caterham with or the Hudson when it breaks down!





Jag C Type rep
Porsche 356 Cert
Citroen CX25 Exclusive
Citroen 2CV Dolly
Peugeot 306 Rallaye
....the list goes on!
 
Here’s my 5...

1. My weekend warrior. Looks, sounds, drives mint. Tweaked & unique. Would only swop it for one other F-Type. See below.

2. White F-Type Project 7. Possibly the only car I wouldn’t touch in terms of modifications. Would sell body parts for one ♥️ Sunny weekend days out & meets.

3. Jaguar F-Pace SVR. Would have to be white. This would tow our caravan & family days out.

4. Road going rally prepared Ford Escort MkII. Had one at 18. Was either one of these or the F-Type 3 years ago. F-Type only just won but said I would mod it to a maverick but respectable level 😁

Most fun on four wheels. Drivers seat was bucket/harnesses, passenger was reclining Recaro 😘 Lived with parents back then so romping around the muddy Vale of Belvoir roads with girlfriends & ‘running out of petrol’ in entrances to farmers fields. Memories 😍😄

5. New shape Peugeot Partner Panel Van. For work & trips to garden centres, carrying stuff about 👍

Jaguar E-Type fully restored at Jaguar Classic Works would also be near the top. Red 😄
 
😁Sounds like we're from a similar mold... Running out of petrol! I used the old electrical fault issue/losing lights! Well, they were MK I Scorts, so it was partly true!

😂 The old ones of the best Tel! One or two even suggested, to me, we ‘ran out of petrol’ 😁

You can just about see the passenger seat roll top head rest 😂

Blatant blowing of ones' own trumpet! :D

No wonder you needed a harness to hold yourself in...it's doing the "wall of death thing!"
 
Well, putting practicality to one side and in no particular order, mine would go something like this...

Ferrari 308 GTS
Camaro SS big block
De Tomaso Pantera
Converting my ‘65 Mustang into an FIA racer
Ford Anglia with fast road set up

Although will highly likely be different tomorrow - maybe my previous Austin Allegro 1.5 Estate :o
 
Panteta... Yes
Allegro estate... Yes, so rare.
Friend had an angle box with a Pinto lump in it... Went like stink. Had mag slot alloys purple tinted windows... It was ace!

I'm guessing a few oeople watch 'Bangers and Cash'? Have some crackers on there!
 
F-Type V6S convertible 2015/16, because they sound and look the best😉
Porsche Macan GTS gen 1, because they look and sound the best and have a Porsche engine not an Audi engine
Ferrari 246 Dino spider
Ford Escort Mk1 RS1600 BDA
Ariel Atom 4
 
i am more than tempted to buy a 458 spider. prices don’t seem to be changing much for the last 12months, so thinking maybe a low miler 13-14 plate keep for a year and sell. not enough confidence to pull the trigger yet but if prices stay the same may well do it next year.

Back of the class, in the corner!

I'll let you off for the Fairlady - Good choice!
There are no Trannies, left, they all turned to dust i'm afraid!

@Rob - Dino's are pretty. I had a MkI Scort 1300GT with "forest arches'...couldn't afford a BDA though!
 
Alfa 8C - it helps that it is drop-dead gorgeous in the flesh from many angles, but the noise, oh the noise on full chat. I got overtaken by one on the M11, quickly followed by a DB9 (also on full song) and the noise it made was truly soul-stirring.

McLaren P1 - I was overtaken by this on the M11 when they were not far off being launched, so I had no idea what it was at the time, I just knew that it was blinking quick and was probably a McLaren - the rear haunches were the giveaway.

Lamborghini Miura - I have no care for reliability in this dream garage, some cars will be there for beauty alone and that's why a Lime Green Miura will be in there.

Ferrari F40 - There are 2 reasons this is here. First is due to the cassette tape that was strapped to the front of a car mag when the F40 was launched. It was a recording of the writers taking one for a test drive. I giggled like a little child, which I was. The 2nd is because I had the pleasure of seeing one in the flesh c.1990, giving it full beans away from the roundabout where the Maranello dealer at Egham is situated. My friend and I had cycled past it at a garage just up the road and were busy ogling the crazy width of the tyres on the cars at the Maranello forecourt when we heard a most distinctive sound. We popped our heads up just in time to see the F40 fly past. Few cars have made my trousers fizz quite like that and fewer Ferraris have ever really made my head turn.

Peugeot 106GTi - I had one of these and it's still the only car I miss. There's something about a little pocket rocket that makes you feel alive, making every drive a journey, leaving you breathless at the end of it because you had to drive the car at 100% and you COULD drive it at 100%. No turbos or superchargers in the way, no flappy paddles, little excess baggage, just a sub-1000Kg, 4-seater pocket rocket.
 
Nobody said they had to be full-sized, so here goes:
1. the Matchbox Willys Jeep I repainted in camouflage green aged 15
2. the 'ride-on' BMW pedal-car we bought for oldest son on his 1st birthday (Melbourne red)
3. the 1100 Escort van that I took to Leeds Univ, because it contained more students than did buses on the Inner Ring Road
4. my previous sports-mobile, Maserati 4200 Coupe Cambiocorsa in moonshine blue
5. Current F-Type, see below
