Favourite money no object cars are Ferrari's

I'd have a fully tricked out Transporter T5 Kombi and also one of these... http://www.eaglegb.com/pages/eagle-low-drag-gt0

like many petrol heads, I have a 10 car garage in mind - always fun to plan for when the big lotto win comes in. Restricting it to 1 is incredibly difficult. If I do it without thinking about it for very long, I end up with this:

Mpatts, 10! that is easy (relatively) Friends and I always say 5 to ensure that you can't go OTT. 1 is fun especially when the rule is that is the car you would own and use everday.
That looks like it would be well fun to throw around though

Hate old cars, and hate ferraris.
P1 is a great car but your the first person I've known to openly say they hate ferrari.
In fact hardly ever/if ever heard anyone say they hate old cars.Living MY dream.0 -

It steams from Formula 1. I started watching it in 1997-1998, and chose to support McLaren. Whose main rivals were Ferrari. It has just stuck and I have always said I could never own one. I can appreciate them, but there is too much of a rivalry there to every want to own one. F1 my main sport, so think of it similar to football rivalry. Old cars I don't get, I don't get, I don't like the styling, they are unreliable and uncomfortable. Not for me.0 -

I get the old car thing, the number I like is limited, and tends to be the common ones which everyone loves, 250, DB5, Old 911's. Not driven enough old cars to comment on handling/ride0 -
I prefer old cars for looks and sometimes to drive. I wish more people would drive them instead of locking them away even the mundane stuff. There was a MkII Escort outside earlier, when was the last time you saw one of them?VTech wrote:P1 is a great car but your the first person I've known to openly say they hate ferrari.

I used to ride to work on a 1968 Triumph Bonneville every day for about 5 years. It was a great bike in town as it was light and manoeuvrable. It was completely reliable and didn't leak oil. I rode it to the launch of the Murcielago and was allowed to park it right by the door and the doormen kept an eye on it for me. Had it been anything modern it would have been out on the street with everything else.
Always strikes me as odd the way the Italian factories treat the older cars. Ferrari handed over dealing with all the old stuff to Ferrari UK and Lamborghini have no interest in supplying parts for old models, yet the cars a worth a lot of money and there is still a healthy market for the parts and work to be done on them.0 -

More common in Europe. About 5 years ago in Haarlem I saw a Mk1 Mazda 323 which most people here won't even remember and that sort of thing was not uncommon (I'd probably not seen another in the previous 20 years) and just being used as daily transport - though numbers of interesting cars do seem to have diminished since I've been going over there regularly. And in Paris year before last I saw this Mk1 Escort. All the 2d Mk1s here have been turned into crappy Mexico replicas. The car below in condition and spec is exactly what all cars a few years old looked like back in the 70s and it's far more appealing than a fat arched example!

OK, I can understand that 8)
I like McLaren a lot, the technology in the 12c and now the 650 is amazing, we have 11 650 on order and I fly out to Dubai next week to design the new software for them.
The P1 is a pure thing of beauty, I would love one for myself but couldn't justify the outlay.
Here is a pic from the stand at Geneva, it was an awesome show and this thing is unreal.

Always regretted not buying a Cortina before prices went north of what I could sensibly afford. It was the little yellow badge & the green stripe that did it for me. Did have a 1500L but it's not quite the same.
Or a mint RS2, or maybe a working Sunbeam Lotus to play with.0 -
