    Yes, but indeed you've taken care of a family car... :)

    Ok :) I've said it wrong... I actually meant, some people only pick two seaters :)

    Alex,

    You are right! I was thinking exactly the same. That is why I chose the Porsche. It has room for two "small" children. And it is an excellent daily driver. Other daily drivers that crossed my mind are the Maserati Quattroporte and the Bentley Continental GT.

    All exellent choices :) but I wanted something more regular for the usuall trips :) Less worries to park it anywhere...

    If that really didn't matter I would pick a Maserati Quattroporte or a Ferrari 456gt :D

    That's why I picked the 456gt as daily driver.


    Could have been the 612 too, but have to think a little about the budget!!:D:D:D

    Alex this is fantasy and you are worried about parking your cars somewhere?
    Don't worry in this game you have you own personal parking space where ever you go ;)

    Yes, I was still trying to think a bit realistic :D Was thinking about fuel consumption too :D

    Also, when going on a holiday, the trunk of a 456gt wouldn't be enough for me :) but maybe I would better let someone bring that over by private plane? :D Ok, I give away the 159 and buy a 456gt instead :D Or wait, let me pick the 612 Scaglietti after all!

    What's the point of having realistic dreams, surely dreams should be unobtainable otherwise life becomes dull :)

    My list is a little fanciful :D The mini I might just manage, but I don't think the FIAT Mefistofele exists anymore.

    OK a more realistic garage
    Ferrari 456MGT - everyday
    Lamborghini Countach LP400 - fun
    a good Jaguar C Type replica - more fun

    Only need a CC on holiday, nothing else.
    So, space enough in a 456gt.

    Simon, for people who don't believe in theirselves some dreams are unobtainable. I think every dream is realistic, no matter how high your targets are.

    "If you keep doing the same things you did till now, you will stay with what you have now.
    Maybe it is time for a change?"

    1. Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster - green and being the topless sexiest car on the planet

    2. McLaren F1 - silver and being the fast as fook, middle seating, crazy assed enzo eater. This would be my every day car given its size, its well built, has 3 seats as opposed to 2, plenty of luggage space etc. If anyone wants to argue about that then they can bring it on. DAILY DRIVER all the way! Stuff you're saxos and alfa romeos!

    3. Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 - orange and being the 2nd sexiest car on the planet

    OOOO to dream!

    Hmmmm!! First thoughts:

    • Everyday drive: Van Den Brink Carver (as I don't need to drive that much on a daily basis, I might as well have something eccentric!)
    • Fun Car: Lamborghini Countach LP400 (I've never driven one, but I hear it may not be that much fun to own)
    • Collectable: 1979 Ferrari 312 T4 (Jody Scheckter's World Championship car)
    Cheers, MARK

    I've driven a couple Mark and the journalists all talk bollox.
    They where great fun. Might get a bit hot and tiring after a few hours, but the car's a real experience :)
