Today's list for me would be:

50s Mini
60s Ferrari 500 Superfast
70s VW Golf GTi
80s Ford Sierra Cosworth
90s Subaru Impreza
00s Nissan GT-R
10s McLaren P1

And I've owned 4 of them. The cheapest 4.

1980s : Porsche 959, silver
1990s : Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo2 Martini 6
2000s : Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, run out 2000 MY as sold in USA, yellow
2010s : McLaren 650S Spider, Mantis Green

Huge Ferrari F355, 456GT manual , 599GTB, Clio Williams, E36 M3 Evo, Continental T and Arnage, and XJ220 fan, but this interesting exercise forces hard decisions.

90s - F1.
00s - Zonda F with C12 S rear spoiler.
10s - BAC Mono, although I reckon I could squeeze an Ariel Atom MY variant in here, if I asked nicely. hehe

[quote=Tuvra]I was only born in '86 so my memory of the 80's is very vague, nothing stands out so I will nominate this:-

I have the Scalextric version of this car in those colours. My Fav Scalextric car.

Born in 1980 so:

80s - Porsche 911 Targa (I've always wanted a 911 and the 70s/80s ones appeal more than the newer ones)
90s - Lancia Delta Integrale evo (In yellow or Martini decals)
00s - Maserati GranTurismo (Just for the shape, when cars started to blend into each other, this really stands out)
10s - Range Rover Sport SVR (I've grown up now and have responsibilities so this is more out of necessity)

being a child of the 80's I fondly remember being a big fan of the Ford Orion



90's
So, it was a toss up between a XJ220 or a ford Escort Cosworth, yes seriously, so I've gone for the Volvo 850R. Why? this car was the eptime of coolness watching the BTCC in my younger years, and my excitement when my dad came home with one



00's
In all honesty there wasn't that much around in this era that I desired that much, well apart from the Audi A4 Avant


10's
Lotus Exige 380cup, wins by a country mile for me, but in this bogey green colour.

Only 17 so not too much "life experience" Had I been born exactly 1 week earlier then the Impreza 22b or the 405 MI16 would be on the list.
