I'm sure any one of them would be great. But... I dont see the point in having one of them if you're only going to do small mileage. The kind of car I really enjoy, is one that I drive a lot because I WANT to drive it. And to never have to worry about what every last mile will do to depreciation curves. What a boring, god-awful way to live that would be.

Only 1 out of all of those that would be a dream purchase for me is the Diablo.

Having been round Moncao in an Orange 6.0 VT they are just awesome and have enourmous road presence - it would be one of my first lottery win purchases!

LFA is so massively over rated IMO. It literally held the Ring record for 2 weeks before the Viper took it. If ring records count for anything and that's debateable the XJ220 held the record for almost a decade with a time that beat the standard LFA 20 years later!

Ignoring all the auto box cars, I'll take the CGT and XJ220 biggrin

If someone is buying them for me, it would have to be the Porker, coz 1.6M!
Then I could sell it and buy the LFA and the Diablo wink

Of course: but compared to an AC Cobra rep or Countach every new century car is a walk in the park

All a bit what shal we promote.
No one sensible would take a 430 over a 458 plus letters. No F1, no list. Many other better Lambos than the Diablo, specially when you look under the covers. .
Carrera GT👏🏻. 657LT 👏🏻 LFA 👏🏻

I think you're missing the point, if all you care about are top trumps figures these days you get an EV. By your logic a Golf R is "better" than a Lamborghini Miura.

Are you sure? Which couple of IKEA wardrobes will fit in an F10?

You probably should of stuck to lurking as posting doesn't appear to be your forte.

One of my pet hates with saloons is how poor they are at carrying big stuff. I remember having to transport my lawn mower to a rental place that my missus was living in years ago. I had to mow the lawn there and the bloody lawn mower had to go on the back seat in my E90 330i, because it wouldn't fit in the boot! Saloons are useless at carrying stuff for me.

I found the boot on the 4 series gran coupe infinitely more usable for the odd time I had to chuck something large or odd shaped into it than the saloon that proceeded it. Hatchbacks are the way to go if you don't need the extra size, space and added weight penalty of an estate.

That was one of the things I always liked about hatchbacks!

I only talked myself into my E90 because it was a manual 330i and had the optional split/fold rear seats so I can get things like a set of wheels in it. frown

6 bucket list super cars - none of the above.

Ferrari 288GTO
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
AC Cobra
McLaren F1
Lamborghini Muira
BMW 507

I can understand some people choosing the Carrera, the Diablo and the XJ220 but the 430, the McLaren and a Lexus - bucket list stuff? really?

Carrera GT????. 657LT ???? LFA ????
Better Lambos than the Diablo. Infinitely true..

BUT I don't know that matters, the diablo is pure poster car to me, it's a coin-toss if I'd take a Diablo SV or something like an Aventador SV
