Cars you'd like to own
Discussion

Hopefully. Not mental crazy exotica really. 
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! 
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...

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...

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
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.
