Suppose that for some reason you only wanted to run just one car, one practical enough for shopping and commuting, one that could be left parked in the street without attracting any attention. But money was no object.

What would you get?

Either an upmarket variation on a run of the mill car (EG Golf GTI), or a second from top of the range up market car (EG BMW 335) would be my choice.

I like to think a Bristol would be relatively practical and unobtrusive though. Relative to a Rolls or a Maybach that is.

I use my Elise for that. smile

Might swap it for a Mclaren F1 though, if someone else was paying the bills as well as the purchase costs. I can always hire a van if I need to move furniture.

Land Rover Discovery 4 or possibly a Range Rover. Stupidly satisfying, practical cars.

When I do eventually have enough money to own multiple cars, I'm pretty sure I'll just own the one.
I don't like the thought of having multiple cars (Though I would hope to change regularly in the future.)

For me at current it would be an Evora S IPS. I'm lead to believe its a good potent sports car but has a nice smooth ride ideal for all those longer journeys.
I've only ever seen one on the roads too, and I do a lot of miles!

On second thoughts, with it being a rare purpose built sports car. Maybe it would attract a fair bit of attention.
