The new Honda "E" electric thing.

Looks bloody brilliant.
Watched a video on youtube, slightly irritating presenter didn't put me off the car. There is a greater than average chance my next car will be electric and the Honda is right at the top of the pile for me. I did notice I can kind of pre-order on the Honda website, it looks amazing in yellow!

There's currently a Mora metallic Alpina B3s coupe for not that much more than that M3 - lower mileage too. I don't want to link to it as I'm still considering it myself!
I love a bit of Mora metallic, and they look lovely with an Alpina stripe.

If I had the cash, which I don't sadly, my imaginary savings would go on the Alpina.

High on the Mora love list must be the Mora Alpina B12 6.0 currently propped up on ebay for a (sadly) near 300% mark up.

Having done quite a few tip runs in the shed recently I find myself looking at fast estates yet again.



One of these with a map and a valved exhaust would fit the bill

I've been considering an MG ZS 120, then supercharging it. But I won't, because it's a stupid idea and, crucially, I can't afford the space to keep it.

Alfa Brera V6 Q4 in Monte Carlo Blue.but with the spider wheels



Hideously impractical for me now, ruinous running costs for a daily. But fully justified as a weekend car and well within current budget. Sub 2mile commute means I'd walk to and from work. Looks like i'm goign to have to go and see/drive one and if it happens it happens rofl

Accidents happen...

"What the f*** did you buy that for?"
"I'm sorry love, it wasn't intentional. I tripped, fell, and landed inside a V6 Brera..."

I have been looking at these as a Promo Vehicle type idea for my business. Ideally want a van, but this is perfect, if a little expensive...

This!

Had the chance to get one years back but chickened out and got a TVR instead. The itch never left and may need to revisit it in a few years.

Lincoln Continental Mark V.

6 meters long. 6.6l or 7.5l engine ripping out either 150 or 200hp. Some german car magazine tested it back in the day and noted it was was the least fuel efficient car they had ever tested. Like a lot of cars, pictures don't do the thing justice - they are amazingly long and have a surprisingly low roof line.




Then I start looking up crate engines, like this ATK 502cid engine from Summit Racing with 515hp, or even this Ford Performance 572cid donk with 655hp.
