if u could have one car?
Discussion
I'm lucky enough to have just bought my one car for every occasion/does all car:
RS6 in mugello blue and tweaked to just shy of 700bhp. Incredibly comfy seats, docile at low speeds, easy cruiser and absolute missile when you stomp on the noisy pedal!
Can't really fault the car in any way (as long as I don't look at the fuel gauge too often!)

Obviously the F1.
Room for three. So good for the school run, shopping with the wife or a trip to a motorsports event with mates.
Consistent driving position in the UK or abroad and unique.
Enough luggage for a week or a tent & beer for Le Mans.
Fast enough to put 99.9% of modern cars to bed.
Still turning heads now but for precisely the right reasons. Enginerring brilliance and understated looks, not the reverse.
The gold is on the inside not the outside.
Wiped the floor with all comers in 1995, so pedigree too.
Very unlikely to loose money on it.
If you prang it, it can be repaired properly.

4 pages of impractical exotica (however desirable) and nobody has mentioned this?
If there's a better, more handsome all-round load-lugging mud-plugging waftmobile, I can't think of one. If possible, I'll have a late-model 5-litre supercharged with the bodykit of a standard early example (preferably a TD6, don't want to break 4.4s), for the ultimate in subtlety. Somehow, the L405 just doesn't measure up looks-wise, even if it's technically superior - and the L322 still has the chunky glove-friendly ergonomics I look for, not a bloody touchscreen. L322 also has far better visibility than just about any other car produced in the 21st century...
If I could live without the estate-car practicality and off-road ability, but still needed four seats, I'd have a Bentley Arnage - the original bespectacled headlights and a 6.75 litre engine, please. Dark green, red or blue. But, I think the L322 would win out. The Bentley would be the second car in the garage, and an early DB9 the third.

One car?
One car that you have to nip to the shops in, or go to work in, or take your grandma to the doctors, or go on holiday? One car to do all that and people choose and old Lambo? I'll keep my Jazz thanks if it has to be just one car.
Come on! don't spoil the thread! One car that you have to nip to the shops in, or go to work in, or take your grandma to the doctors, or go on holiday? One car to do all that and people choose and old Lambo? I'll keep my Jazz thanks if it has to be just one car.
Sensible answer would be a fast estate, Audi RS something
