Hmmm, if we're going for the more classic cars...
Lotus Carlton:
A nice choice. 377bhp, 175mph. It was the fastest Vauxhall up until the Monaro. I just love them. Getting cheap now, too.
Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Sapphire:
Wanted it ever since I had a Corgi model of it! I have been lucky enough to have a small go in one, and it was amazing. Vicious, brutal, unforgiving, endearing, and utterly astounding. Has to be RWD.
Lancia Delta Integrale:
My neighbour has one. Converted to RHD. Very nice car indeed, I have liked them for a long time.
Dodge Charger R/T '68:
I just love American muscle, and this car is just the ultimate. The torque produced by the car at standstill rocks it from side-to-side. Another brutal car.
Eleanor:
I would love a Ford Mustang GT500, but especially in 'Eleanor' spec- from Gone In 60 Seconds (Nicolas Cage, not the original). It's just beautiful.
Chevrolet Camaro RS '68:
Another American muscle choice. I love the headlight covers and the general look. Failing this, it'd be a Yenko.
BMW E28 M5:
An affordable classic, with pin-sharp handling and a throaty 3.5 straight-six. Considering getting one with Dad as a 'Sunday' car- for the odd cross-country jaunt on Sunday mornings. And just look at it...
Aston Martin Vantage:
It's a bit new... but... 550bhp is not to be sniffed at. The last real Aston Martin- every single panel was hand-beaten. If one blemish is found, the beater starts all over again. To complete a door alone it took 3 weeks. A true dinosaur, and sorely missed.
Ford RS200:
I've loved this since I was about 3 or 4, had it as a Matchbox. It looks like an angel, is as rough as a badger and goes like stink. 750bhp from a 1.8T, anyone? One 2.1 Evolution model hit 60mph in 2.1 seconds.

Ford Escort XR3i:
One of my earliest car memories. Not the best picture, but it's the spec I want. Grey, with the dogleg alloys. I remember begging Mum to buy it, but she wouldn't budge. We got an Escort 1.6 LX instead! It's just one of those sentimental things...
