    If you could afford any road car...
    which one would you buy and WHY?

    Assume you can afford to buy the car and get insurance and you get free servicing etc

    You pay for the fuel - makes it slightly more interesting lol

    I second this. Infact, since there were only 500 made, one of us probably won't get it. We could split the costs and roadtrip together? :deal::driver:

    Probably a C350 CDI, although I quite like Vauxhall Insignia's to be honest.

    '68 Dodge Charger SE.
