I only have space for one car so that one needs a little oomph.

Otherwise I'd probably have a TVR and a crappy runabout.

I don't even have space for one car, still what are parents for if not looking after the P&J!

Daily driver used to be a 10yr Clio that had been passed around the family [and will be for a while yet]. Then had a conversation at work along the lines of "get something presentable" so picked up [at their expense]an MG ZT190 slightly second hand and a lot less than list. The jury is still out whether that was a wise move!

Nice 355. I did toy with getting a LHD one but again, practicality won out (and a fear of £1000 services).

A mate has a perfect 328GTS with about 20K on it but it suffers from underuse. I have offered to 'use' it for him but he wasn't up for it. No helping some people!

Sounds good to me - Tuscan as a weekend car and a Chim as the shopping trolley !

Neither of which went to LeMans this year

Got fed up with not being able to use my 'sports' car everyday so sold it and bought an M5.

Stupid boy is now sniffing around other sports cars to have as well...

Audi A6 Avant kiddie kart at the moment but when I've sold the house and living on my own it will be a Caterham, although a 'cheap' TVR might get a look-in, and something like a quick Clio or a Golf for day to day/break down recovery. Ahr, ever the optimist me

Toyota Celica. Starts on the button and costs peanuts to run and a huge hatchback for my mountain bike. Perfect. The other half has an Audi diesel as her daily hack so massive mpg which is a handy car in the collection. Nice mix of the 4 cars at the mo I reckon.

Sagaris, a practical hatchback with adequate power. No second car needed.
