Porsche 911 3.0 SC
A Ferrari (not sure which one yet but something prancing horse)
Another MR2 mk1
A Spriget
A Lamborghini (ok it might only be a Jalpa and even then only if I get lucky somehow)
Se7en of some type
Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R (unmolested!)
BMW E39 M5
Audi S8
Jaguar XKR
RX-7
TVR Cerbera

Think that's about it.

All perfectly achievable if I give up on a lot of other things and swap cars a lot. Only 2 on there that might be challenging are unsurprisingly the Lambo and the Fezza as insurance will be the killer (my postcode is shared with a rough area).

I'd like a two-seater convertible - never had one and it's entirely impractical for me but just to give it a go.
Countach or Diablo - just to experience it - supercars generally don't do it for me.
Heinkel bubble car or Bond Bug - because they must surely be cool.
Corvette C6 Z06 to ascertain if the performance can overcome the dull looks.
Veyron - just to get some perspective.

Plan for next car: Merc CLS500 (pre March 06, black, cream leather, birdseye maple wood) Nice and specific! biggrin

Really want a 68 Dodge Charger, or 70-71 Challenger, both keep moving further out of reach though.

Also (more in reach):
Late 70s Trans Am,
65-66 Pontiac Le Mans/Tempest

Would like to upgrade my GMC van to a full size day van.

Think I need help... nuts

Slightly off topic, but someone said Skyline, so i looked at them.
Is that a flip up plate? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2010...

No, just the bracket the normal JDM sized plate sits in.

Caterham 7
60s Mustang
Land Rover Defender
Aston Martin V8 Oscar India
Porsche 911 (964 or older)

All attainable, but space/other priorities will no doubt prevent realisation for a couple of decades yet. I would suggest selling the 7 and 'Stang to fund the 911 purchase but the OH is very reluctant to let go of the Caterham cloud9hehe

The Defender answers a question that I don't really need to ask at the moment and the Aston is too expensive (and potentially too ruinous) at the moment.

These threads are funny, they just turn into one huge list and no one discusses anything.

I don't mean to st on the thread, just an observation I've had.
