Your two most disperate cars?
Discussion
Inspired by this week's SOTW - I've always loved the older Jags, sorry, Daimlers and it's just up the road in MK and if I had the money I'd be up there like a shot - but it struck me what strange fleet bedfellows the XJ40 and the Caterham would make.
I mean, horses for courses and all that, but two more dissimilar cars you couldn't begin to imagine...
...or could you?
Which two cars do you own that are automotive chalk and cheese, perambulatory polar opposites, occupying the most distant ends of the motoring spectrum?
Anyone got, for example, an Ariel Atom and a Bentley Continental?

I'd quite like a CR-Z for commuting in town and a 1968 Dodge Charger.
An original VW Beetle and a Veyron would go quite well in my fantasy garage too.
On a more grounded level I think my current combo of 518kg screaming road racer and nigh-on one and a half tons of front wheel drive, leather apholstered, understeery, gutless Ford repmobile are quite opposed.
Ironically, my rigid-framed, light-ish weight commuting (pedal) bike has a purity about it that very much reminds me of the Caterham. It's even the same colour.

If I'm honest I think you should own chalk and cheese. If the cars are too similar then you'll always want one to be as good as the other. And they will both offer similar thrills, so some could say, what's the point in it.I mean, horses for courses and all that, but two more dissimilar cars you couldn't begin to imagine...

I would like to think all of my cars offer something different to the other. But maybe this pic highlights the biggest difference
