"A 911 is my dream car and the 997 the ultimate evolution, without incurring the risks of earlier water-cooled cars or the cost of the earlier air-cooled models. As well as being the ultimate German car, with its roots laying you know where, this one would be a keeper."
Aston Martin DB9
"The UK category is difficult. My £100K Garage would have a car for all occasions and therefore have to cover 4WD, a cruiser, something sporty, a city car and a classic. So while the Discovery 4 is likely to be unbeaten for a long time in terms of practicality and comfort (and a damn sight prettier than its replacement), I can't pass up the opportunity to have a full-on Aston at this price. A bargain, and plenty to choose from.
Citroen C6
"Having missed out on the Bentley as a long distance cruiser, and with the budget tightening, this category is likely to provide the best bet for a motorised armchair. Our annual continental trips through France mean I've always had a soft spot for a Peugeot 607 but they look a bit bargain basement as soon as they cross the channel. So the only choice here is the Citroen. You'll be unlikely to see another on the roads, even in France, so in it goes."
Jeep Cherokee
"Do I have to? Can't I get another from the Rest of the World? A classic Fiat 500? They're part American now, anyway. If I have to pick American lets tick off the 4WD. At least it'll be a rare sight at Hampshire cricket matches, and I won't mind it getting dirty going to the dump."
Toyota GT86
"Simple, rear-drive fun, a lot like my old MG Midget. It was a close call between this and the appreciating Honda S2000, but it's the ability to have fun at lower speeds that appeals. Overall I'm very pleased with this selection. A shame I couldn't find a classic among them, but in time they all will be (apart from the Jeep). No city car either, but the GT86 is only 419mm longer than my Mini so should be able to squeeze into smaller spaces. A pound change, too!"
