I walk to the station, so my cars aren't even used during the week. Still doesn't stop me wanting an i3.

I've just finished reading Brian Long's fine tome on the Dino 246GT (again), I can't get the thought of owning one out of my head...

After a ride in a friend's CL500 I want one. What a lovely place to be and quick too!

I want a ride in one of these:

(Can anyone on PH oblige??)

Still looks great today IMHO. Citroen should launch an updated version through its now posh brand, DS.

Returned to say the Shelby Cobra is on my mind, then noted it was there last visit too!

Infiniti Q50S hybrid awd.
Is it wrong to be contemplating one of these over a euro box rep mobile?
Looking at S4s and thinking they're dull.

Hybrid which gives no real benefit, odd choice.

Gags involving glue and halfords spring to mind.

With a new Q4 V6 on the horizon I've been thinking about 159's a little too much lately.

For some reason I have been thinking about one of these today:



I don't need the 4wd, and don't need space, and yet somehow think it would be a good replacement for my Megane.

I'm not fussed on the hybrid bit... gives it a bit more oomph, but not much. Seems they were going for speed over mpg.

Afew recent obsessions from me;

Gen7 Celica TRD Sports M



Had 2 Gen7s back in the day, including a lightly-modified Jap import. TRD Sports M was the only real hard-core model they did, more interesting alternative to an Integra Type R (to me at least).

996 911



Pre-facelift 3.4 manual tin-top, 2WD. I'd prefer one with the GT3-lite factory bodywork (against my better judgement) as seen here. Wish I'd got a sub £10K example while they were plentiful. May grab a ~£15K minter in the next couple of years.

L322 RR



Basic, early, unmolested model in a dark colour as seen here. I have a minuscule daily commute/ annual mileage, so the lack of reliability wouldn't phase me too much.

Mkiv Supra TT



Stock looking (perhaps with wheels, improved stance, minimal tasteful aftermarket upgrades) TT, pref UK manual. Like the 996 911, wish I'd pulled the trigger when prices were sensible. May still do it, as I miss the 2 that I owned previously. Proper future classic.

Z4M coupe



Bit of a Z3M coupe fanboy, but affordable ones long gone. Bangle styled Z4 is looking 'right' atm. Even a lowly ~£8K 3.0 example would make a nice toy...

Tend to obsess about stuff I could actually afford... how tedious.
