Your dream car

[Vantage]

Found the exact one I lust after!
One of these in perfect condition was in a 2nd hand car showroom behind a big glass window and I admired it for years. I was 16 at the time and working in Bury. My bus stop to go home was right next to it.
Some lucky sob bought it after it had sat there 2-3 years.

The engineering on this is immense.

My dream car is a bus pass. They kill people, pollute our planet, clog our roads to a standstill, they do nothing that piques my interest.

Cars, buses or both?

Posted on another thread already, but a Miura would pickle my walnuts nicely

Shouldn't it be yellow though?

Well if I won the lottery I’d be getting one of these for the summer

Then a sports car,
Maybe an Aston

Or Ferrari

And an estate for the family run about

Think that’s all bases covered!

They're all horrid - typical "new money"

Me-yow!

(Not that I'm disagreeing, mind - right up there with gold-plated taps & onyx ashtrays.)

Technically I personally only own one

I own my dream car, Octavia estate DSG I could drive far more expensive cars but this one is just my type of car. I have owned a lot of exotic stuff

I quite fancy an Octavia 4x4 estate (not the Scout), with the 2.0Tdi & 6-speed manual

How about Steve Darnells Bad-Ass '56?

Supercharged LS6 under the 'hood', or similar, I believe

Great cars, only thing that stopped me going 4x4 was the drop in economy, have you tried the dsg box, brilliant but if kit when matched to the active cruise mine has.

As a second choice for when not transporting bikes and, if money was no object, I'd see if I could lay my hands on an original McLaren F1

Still I believe, the fastest non forced induction car in the World?
And. far better looking than any of the hyper-cars
Utterly, utterly gorgeous
Comparatively small too


Still remember Tiff Needell testing one on Top Gear, & smoking it out of a corner

I can't answer for mustang, but a dream car doesn't have to be massively expensive. In fact, I think it's more interesting if the car is affordable, although I appreciate the premise of the thread is unlimited wealth.
I've posted my dream is a Messerschmidt, my second dream one is a Suzuki Carry van, truly, I just love their looks. I could afford one now, but sometimes dreams should be just that.
My milkman uses a Carry and I get pangs every time he delivers!

I had a Bedford Rascal
A truly scary vehicle
Being overtaken by coaches/artics on the motorway was almost terrifying
And, on a wet roundabout, it once swapped ends without warning

It did make a handy bike carrier, & mobile changing room though

The thought of a front-end collision is not to be countenanced though.....

No I've not tried it

Most of the Scouts that YAS (Yorkshire Ambulance Service) have as Fast Response cars are DSG
I've not spoken to a single driver who doesn't like thm

One of the A&E Consultants has a Superb estate (DSG) & he loves it
He's 6'4" & can sit reasonably comfortably behind the drivers seat, set up for him


Oh!?
Have you seen this Octavia?

Scouts are very capable
This even looks to be on standard tyres
