Hypothetically of course...

Don’t worry about fuel or running costs, my treat.

Corvette, between those three. Rather have a nice van and a family car though these days.

I voted AMG (as most seem to have done).

But if any of those has 3 pedals I might change my mind!

The Skyline is manual.

Personally, I'm torn between the Corvette and the Skyline; I'd probably go with the Corvette in the end.

If the R33 had been GTR, probably that.
But seeing as it's not, then AMG all year.
Corvette wouldn't even get a look.

AMG GT . thumbup

And devote a good couple of months to drive it from John O'Groats to Shanghai. (or similar epic journey)

Thanks for that. thumbup

But to be honest I think I'd rather have my Z4 M Coupe than any of them (sorry OP)!

Seems like a random selection of cars to me. I’d choose the AMG as I think it’d be the nicest and most practical to live with. The corvette probably wouldn’t get that much use as I imagine it’s a bit of a pain to live with and the skyline is awful. Maybe a 2 door GTR in either R32 or R34 for but the R33 4 door is such a crap looking car.

This. None of those would be my first choice from each marque.

Do you look after the kids for a year too? It doesn't have to be you personally, a nanny (with car...) would work.

And we're quite rural, so I'm really sorry about the cow st! biggrin

Corvette looks like a clown car, expect the driver to step out with those massive red shoes.

Indeed it is. All cost £60k in the classifieds and caught my eye.

No hehe

But your choice is yours for a year. Daily drive it, park it up as a weekender, track it, go on a massive road trip - I don’t mind.

You see I’m generous like that smile

I'd go with the AMG all day long.

I like it as it's much less shouty than a lot of other cars in its class and it would also be perfect as a daily.

AMG for me. Although none of these are cars I would buy.

Largely because I can’t afford them.

I voted Skyline as it could be manual box
