I would quite like to get a Caterham. Or a Rolls Royce Phantom.

And then when you decide it isn't enough, get it remapped to over 600 bhp and watch it make the earth spin backwards :biggrin:

Such a shame they are auto only - same with the RS5 and even the new RS4 :frown:

Actually the real shame on it isn't so much that it is auto only, the S-tronic gearboxes are really good when it comes to power delivery and using the right ratios..... the real shame of them is the ESP system that aggressively auto corrects. It will be the reason why if ever I wanted a fast performance saloon car then it will be a BMW rather than an Audi.
Money no exception:

vw gold or dacia lodgy

BMW E60 M5 V10 is just amazing... Eisenmann Race or full RPI exhaust on that sounds heavenly. Or go for a Ferrari 458 with a capristo exhaust system. Lamborghini LP640 with Reiter exhaust system.
Check these out!

If I couldn't afford the fuel and wanted something more efficient, BMW M550d :drool:

stats on this thing is INSANE. Nearly 40mpg, but 0-60 in 4.7s!

1. My favourite car since i was born. Coming soon to me in a year :biggrin: Just can't wait.

Subaru Impreza. The best thing i love about it is that unique exhaust rumble when idle. :wink:



2. The first thing i would buy if i won the lottery :biggrin: Not to mention with Tubi exhaust installed.




3. The best 4 door ever made. Mercedes C63 with decatted exhaust. Enough power to set off a car alarm a mile away.

Great, I have a gameplan - ...For when I win the lottery...
I was going to say some huge gas guzzling super car, but if I'm paying for fuel, I could proabbly only afford to drive it to Tesco and back, inculding using the 5p off per litre. I'd have gone for some small porsche like the 911, its a classic and it's related to my own car (the vw beetle) lets keep things in the family. :biggrin:

But if I want to be sensible I'd probably get myself a jeep, my parents had a Jeep out in Cyprus before I was born and I think i would want somethign that could get over all the speed bumps no problems, I think I'd want it really bare and ropey feeling.

Or maybe I'd just buy a bigger engine for my beetle, there aren't many places where you can legally drive 70mph+ so something that pulls away quick would be my ideal.

IMO, this look better than the original Phantom


Convertible- so every one can see it's me driving :wink:


This big boy too :biggrin:

Oh, and one of these too:
(edited 11 years ago)
Possibly a 2013 Nissan GT-R



Or if I was feeling more adventurous a modified BMW 850Ci: general aim would be to get the weight down to ~1600kg and get the power up to ~500bhp while still keeping it nice and comfortable inside. Extensive use of composite body panels, lightweight components etc.
