Either an Insight or a Prius for the car obsession, because I know one of them will be on my drive next year:






But what I'm really dreaming of is a Super Blackbird. I always dream of these, somewhat different than my current T595 Daytona (16mph faster too). I just love the fact that they look like a jet plane. That sleek, pointed noise, the stacked headlights, the compact cockpit. Fantastic design.

Can't say I have noticed a difference in power from my Galant VR4 between the different fuels but I've yet to have any back to back dyno runs done. Another owner has and he is putting out more power on lpg -



Obviously it all depends on how well the car is set up and mapped for both fuels.

I'm leaning more towards the Evo X now as an E55 won't be anywhere near as fun in the twisties. Hopefully I'll be able to find the right example in spring next year.

Audi R8 ... the idea of eventually been able to buy one at some point in the future is what's motivating me at work at the moment! #setgoals

I know.

None of that hybrid hypercar flappy paddle bks either. It has a clutch and proper transaxle gearbox so men can drive it. hehe

I'm quite looking forward to a hybrid next year. As long as it gets Radio 4 it'll do me for getting work. I'll be putting plenty of fun miles on my Daytona too, I hope, but I must try a fuel injected Super Blackbird.

A pretty regular obsession for me.



AC 3000ME.
I realise it's not going to set the world on fire performance-wise but it's unusual and pretty; two of my favoured qualities in both cars and women. biggrin

You're not alone. Quite like the idea of a Ac with a modern V8 conversion

Its a bloody horrible mess, rust everywhere, totally unloved and abused.

As usual, it's the big-engined M3-bodied E30s. I know they're supposed to be a bit nose-heavy, and lack the race-pedigree of the S14-engined regular M3s, but that doesn't stop me wanting one more than a lifetime's supply of Jaffa Cakes!


Alpina B6 3.5S (with a reworked 260hp M30 6-cyl from the 535i):






Hartge H35S-24 (with a reworked 330hp M88 6-cyl from the M5):

This Super VR4 rep going through an auction in Japan later on today -





A little lairy for a daily driving saloon but I could live with it once I switched over the LPG conversion and interior from my current one to this. This and some spare change or an Evo X? Decisions decisions!
