Yeah I'd like most of those as well, but for an everyday car?
I think I could live with a porker, and maybe a Skyline.
Perhaps I should have mentioned I'm an old 6it with kids, so I need doors, boots and so on.

Surprised that, given they're supposed to be a day-to-day proposition, everyone's picked some pretty uncompromising high performance machinery. Doesn't anyone fancy a car that they can do 100 miles in without having to see a physiotherapist afterwards?
On my list:
Aston-Martin DB7
M5-engined 3 series BMW - there's a company making these, it was in Top Gear or Evo a while back. Damned if I can remember what their name was, though. Anybody?
TVR Cerbera
Supercharged HSV GTS
Andy.

hehe... that's why I'm not buying a TVR - I'm keeping my scooby and buying a Westfield as well! 4 litre V8 in a chassis that weighs as much as a packet of crisps, yours for £10k off auto trader

Not sure - I was just picking an example. I want to do the factory tour (Thursday, yippee!) and try out a few before I spend any money on something quite that mad. It's tempting, though, and not the cheapesr V8 I've found either

TVR's , any and/or all models, 'specialy Tuscan.
Honda Type R's Civic or old Integra.
You're all gonna hate me for this, but Astra, 2.0 Turbo/2.2 16v (SRi, Coupe, cabriolet) with Irmisher body mods.
Any of the above, but they'd all have to be Black, black, BLACK!
I don't want to go in the cupboard, mother, that's where the little people live.

a newer Scoob maybe?
I use my scoob every day - I bought it to drive, not to leave at home!
Wouldn't mind building a kit car for the summer weekends tho.

I've only ever considered sellin the 22B for a nice 993, but lack of boot space always stopped me(need a teeny bit of practicality). 996 C4S so tempting though...wonder if I can get a roof rack?

The only car that has everything you have ever wanted is an
Audi RS4.
It looks mean
Has over 350bhp
Sh*t hot traction
Heated electric seats
Climate control
Loads of room in the back
IT'S THE DOGS.

RS4 - nice, but the wheels bend every time you run over a bit of gravel, and I've heard the steering is vague. I'd prefer an M5 myself.

Hartge was the company putting M5 engines in a 3-series.
I concur with your thoughts about HSV-GTS and Cerbera (you can pick up the Holden for around 20-25k now, although you can get a Cerbie for that price but how often will it start?)

911 GT3 every time if (a) I could find a minter, (b) most importantly I could afford one then again I could just spend another 10 grand on my R34 and get man size flames out da back and 550 unuseable horsepower under da bonnet
