If you had a bit of spare cash...

[stimshady]

...which prestige motor would you run alongside a T350/Sag/Tam if you had the choice?

Would you go for a bit of a luxury cruiser (think Bentley Continental GT/C), another high perfomance machine (Lambo/Ferrari), maybe an Aston, something old or something totally different? (or even another Tiv!?)

(not fussed about everydays cars, ford/volvo/vauxhall etc etc)...

[TVR_owner]

Aston - Vanquish S.

[crimbo]

A DBS CAB would come pretty high on my wish list

[GT TVR]

Aston DBS or DB9. Or a classic (more cash): Miura (SV) or F250 (any type will do).

good things with aston's is that they are performance and cruisers at the same time i guess...

[Targarama]

Astons bore me nowadays. Nice cars though. From the same price bracket I'd choose a Maser Granturismo Coupe or a 575 SuperAmerica.

In reality though I wouldn't spend that much money on a car, I'd pay off some of the mortgage.

Astons are gorgeous cars, but I'd have to choose an old shape ferrari claifornia, not much compares to it for style

ok, that really is dream land - that's a proper lotto win!

[Zippee]

All depends really - if you're talking high end GT/sports car then in all honesty I probably wouldn't have the T350, instead either a DB£ convertible or Maser Gran Turismo cab.

As a car to run alongside the T350 my choice would be Jaguar XFR.

[carl_rfc]

We've all got our dreams lol

But if were talking modern day then something simple, like an rs4,

[V8 GRF]

Gallardo convertible.

An RS4 is not something to aspire to if you already own a T-car. Fantastic engine, but its still an Audi A4.

[Laser Sag]

Im with V8 GRF Gallardo coupe or convertible in shy retiring orange.
But then if you had the other car to run alongside the T350/ Sag etc how would you decide which one to use for any given occassion. Nice dilema to have I know but I think most people would still end up using one of them nearly all the time.

Exactly the reason I went for an XFR

[stimshady]

well, that's the point i guess, is it really worth having 2 'similar' cars in terms of function or having a big 4-seat crusier for long trips in comfort and a smaller sports for crazy antics for example.

dream car for me would be zonda f, but i think to sit alongside the Tiv would be a big merc or a bentley or an RS6 or similar...(or maybe a DBS - doh!)

Trouble is I dont like big cars, brother in law had a tweaked RS6 which was amazing but I never felt comfortable in it, it felt like it took forever to stop but I suppose it makes alot of sense as an everyday cruiser leaving the Sag for fun.

[L33]

Bently Conti GT or RangeRover sport supercharged for the daily grind where you just want to waft from A to B in comfort without too much drama.

For all other occaisions, the Sag fits the bill perfectly.

On a sunny day I dont think I could not take a Gallardo V10 out with the roof down! When would I have time to use the TVR not like I want to get it wet. (trackdays maybe)

Not really true, very few parts in common with a cooking A4. It isn't just an A4 with a more powerful engine.

Engine/suspension/wheel arches/brakes yes. Rest - no. It is still and Audi A4. I love them, but they're not exactly exotic aspiration material for a TVR owner.
