1. Aston Martin DBS (well any new aston will do lol)
2. Juno
3. My GTT
4. Murtoya.


I already have a Noble for everyday use and its proving to be an awsome everyday car for me... but the Aston is just cause I love the look &sound and is what I genuinelly would have everyday if I could afford it.
The Juno is just awsome, but if I had the other 3 I'd probably not bother with it and just turn the Murtoya into the track toy.

So 2 kits and an Aston!

I HATE these 'what car' lists!! But this one grabbed my attention, so here goes.

BMW 550 for when I'm not on my own.
GTM Libra - I'm sure I could get a Subaru engine in there - Just need to get a short transmission for FWD only, 'cept it would be RWD in the back of the Libra.
Blackjack Zero for open car.
Wiessmann GT MF4

They'll do.

Everyday car- Bertram's Yellow Audi turbo Libra. I could lay down 100yds black stripes with that puppy, thats why he will never let me drive it!!!

Trackday car- Phoenix R1, i have already got that one! Perfect with just the right amount of power / brakes and grip to be safe / fun. Radical does spring to mind but I did Brands in 1500cc Hayabusa one, it was way too fast and too grippy to slide, i would have a big crash at some point in that!

Posing- Hawk Stratos, 3.0 V6, Rosso Corsa, gold coffin wheels. 70's Armani Suit and 'shades reqd too. And a 6ft Italian brunette in the passenger seat.

Anything- Would have to be a Kara200. at least 500bhp of Cosworth power, Plain diamond white with Splitrim Speedlines on it. One of THE sexiest rallycars ever built.


Oooooooooooooh i am going for a w***.

She's going to have to scrunch up a bit to get in a Stratos replica. Maybe 5'8" would be better

This is really hard - I just wouldn't have two kits in a money-no-object four car garage.

If I couldn't also have a motorhome to tow with, my garage would look like this:
Procomp LA Gold Class C RGB race car
BMW M5 Touring Everyday/Tow Car
Porsche 962C for posing/Le Mans trips ( http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/669229.htm )
And... this was the toughest the second kit car. I thought about an Ultima or a GD T70 but the 962C has those bases covered. I thought about a Caterham R500 but I'd get my thrills from the racer, so I actually decided that as none of my other cars were really suitable for city/town driving I'd go for something small, perhaps a Rochdale or Ogle SX ( http://www.nostalgiacars.co.uk/nc1000.htm )

If I could additionally have a Motorhome, I'd swap the M5 for a Lambo Gallardo 560-4 or a Maserati Granturismo S.

The 2 kits certainly adds some spice to the decision making!
