    So what are the conditions??

    1) You can only choose 1 car in each category.
    2) The car has to be suitable for each category. ie (No 599GTO's as a Daily Driver)
    3) The race car must be a homologated race car. ie (not a standard GT3 RS).
    4) The superlight must be road registered.


    Category 1 - A Daily Driver. (Comfortable to use everyday with a decent boot)
    Category 2 - A Grand Tourer. (2 Door saloon for mowing highways down in style)
    Category 3 - A 4WD. (Ideal to take the family to the snow & tow the race car)
    Category 4 - A Race Car. (You are going to race in ALMS, FIA GT1, GT2 or GT3)
    Category 5 - A Superlight track car. (Ideal for trackdays or runs up the hills)


    I look forward to reading your 5 choices!

    1 - Audi RS5
    2 - Merc SL 63
    3 - BMW X5 Diesel
    4 - Porsche GT3/RS
    5 - Caterham R500
    ..and..
    6 - Italia 458 (the forgotten "Exotic for hell of it and no "practical" use whatsoever" lol)
    ..and..
    7 - some supercharged V8 (the "unnecessarily overpowered muscle car" category)

    I could go on.. I need about 11 spaces without counting motorbikes..

    I cant say i really agree with your categories, as DD and Tourer could quite happily be the same. 4WD is redundant as i hate 4x4's and lightweight & race car could be the same but here goes.

    My Choices are;

    Category 1 - Daily Driver - New Polo GTi

    Category 2 - Grand Tourer - Audi RS4 Avant

    Category 3 - 4WD - Bowler Nemesis

    Category 4 - Race Car - Mclaren MP4/8 or Lotus Type 77

    Category 5 - Lightweight - Lamborghini Superleggera LP-570

    I actually had the 599 GTO as my last car then changed it late doors for the Lambo.

    Do you want to hear the worst part.

    I'm a Wog!! Even got myself an Italian Passaporto!!

    No Ferrari's here either......

    I am not sure about the GT as the daily Driver.

    In my Choice a C63 is an easy car to drive. 4 doors, proper boot.

    The SLS would be a tough everyday driver...

    Nice, good response.

    Category 1 - Audi S5
    Category 2 - Mercedes Benz SL65
    Category 3 - I'll leave this blank as I have no interest in that sort of car, and if I had a real race car, I'm sure I'd have a real truck to pull it along with the mobile service centre etc etc ;)
    Category 4 - Corvette C6R
    Category 5 - Zonda F

    I like the idea of buying a new GTI polo as my everyday car and swap 'em over every year.

    yeah but a DD is best to be a small zippy car that can dart in and out of traffic and just be fun to drive, so the GTi is about the fastest tiny car around at present.


    but realistically, if it were 1 dd car and 4 others, it would be

    RS4 Avant as a DD
    F40
    Diablo 6.0 or SE30
    Gallardo 570-4
    997 GT3 RS

    On looks alone, the Cinque never quite grabbed me. Don't like the roof vent or the vents on the rear quarters.
