I want a year off

[Cotty]

Off what? work

Imagine if you could take a year off work, full pay and job kept open for when you return.
You get the use of a fully equipped big workshop with all the tools you need,with access to acid dippers, spray booth, chromers, trimers etc. You get to keep the car at the end. Yu get to work on the car however many hours you like for a year

Take an old car and restor it to factory spec or tweek it to suit you.

What would you pick?

[rottie102]

A Veyron and rent out the garage?

I'm greedy

[MX7]

Is this cost/availability regardless?

[mattmoxon]

I'd probarbly make a hot rod of some description, 800+ cu/in motor with a massive blower fitted.

[Rotary Madness]

A le mans porsche of some sort, either the one steve mcqueen drove, or the turbo one that holds the nurburgring recond, both sound amazing!

Not feeling too retro today.

I'd have my old Mk1 MX-5 back, sort her out, and track her mercilessly. It's something I daren't (cannot afford) to do with the T350.

This is probably very sad, but my Corrado VR6. It's looking a little tired and shabby after 14 years of ownership.

A P5b with modern running gear finished in a lovely dark blue with red leather.

Honestly, I really don't give much of a st what car I drive.

Hmmmm. Perhaps you're on the wrong website then?

Keep the engine but overhaul the interior and add some mod-cons, I don't think I'd ever want more.

Yep

[spikeyhead]

A birdcage Maserati, just cos it's a car I've always fancied.

Would be great to take the original plans, do a full FEA with a similar titanium chassis. Add in a more modern engine but keep the classic looks and the innovative chassis idea.

don't get me wrong, I like cars out of the material things in the world cars are probably the best. but, ultimately, i'm not a guy that gives a st. If I had to drive around in a B reg micra i wouldn't care - my mates and I don't like each other for what we have (or haven't got) and I have a few nice 'PH' type cars but in the grand scheme of my life they don't really mean anything. now, megan from last night....

Its not about what your mates like or not. its about what you like.
So fully equpped garage and you would choose a B reg micra

OK

[Swarley]

That is my work! Apart from keeping the car.

I would still take you up though.

A low-drag e-type for me please.
