Money no object, 1 car!

[nicky.mattsson]

I thought i would throw in my plan for a discussion.

The idea is you have been given a blank cheque and you have to buy one car, custom built, standard, whatever, but just 1. I would like it to be from the heart and no talk of a 'nice little investment' or buying 1, selling it and keeping the profit.

I think it would be interesting to see some of the suggestions, maybe a bit of a reason to.

I will start....

My blank cheque would be handed straight to someone like Reyland, GGR, etc. to build me a monster spec Imperial Blue Escort Cosworth. A road legal track car please, monster engine, touring car spec chassis. That'll do me.

I know some of you may laugh but i said, from the heart, and nothing stirs me quite like the sight of an Escos!

So, how are you going to pick the kids up from school, do the BIG shop & would you leave it overnight un-garaged!

If you really are talking about 1 car it would have to be a 'real world' car. Mine would have to be a BMW CSL, M5, Bently Conti GT, but I think I'd go for a Black Series Merc AMG CLK63.

Alright then, i will make my idea a bit more clear. I meant the one 'pistonheads' car you would buy to have as well as the family hack.
