"Must Own" Cars...

[Yanto]

So, before you shuffle off, what are your top 5 "must own" cars (within realistic budget - i.e not a list of dream cars) and why ?

[chrisburns]

997 GT3 RS - driven one and now must have, great car
E60 M5 - had one and always regretted selling, ultimate daily
E92 M3 - Does everything very very well, had one will have another
Range rover vogue TDV8 - long journey, the only way to travel.

[AlexGTT]

For me:

997 GT3 RS gen 2 3.8 - ultimate road and track icon
3.0 CSL - because they're so cool
LP 670 SV (OK, that one's pie in the sky but you never know) - for extravagant days!
Alfa Romeo 8C "Monza" (OK, another fantasy but................) - the ultimate Pre-War supercar
Lamborghini 400GT - something very different and not the stereo-typical 60's Grand Touring car

All provided I can keep the CSL and M3.;)

[s.mac]

not sure if I have a must have car to own....

A few I would fancy having a blast in :whistle:

[Trawler]

Lancia Fulvia. First dream car as a kid
Mini cooper works. Run around
Caterham 7 400. Fun on warm days
Boxter S. fun on warm days for longer journeys.
M3GTS. It has a boot

[Bounce]

A yellow Robin Reliant :clown:

[shane@mbtech]

f430 scuderia
997 gt2 rs (if they ever do PDK)
Ford capri rs3100
Lambo Gallardo superleggera
Merc C63 AMG Black edition

[cslsuperfan]

gt3 rs in the discreet green
maserati grandtourismo
nissan gtr
M3 GTS
M3 E92 dct- this one i've owned but would have another
1M - yes i know thats six but the mini M is growing on me.:drool:

[Barry C]

my next car will probably be a porsche of the GT3 RS variety I hope.

Then it'd have to be a scud:thumbs:

I better get saving then:whistle:

[shimmy]

my current 5 car garage would be (excluding race cars)


Ascari A10 (special weekend jaunts & euro trips)
M5 F10
CSL
Defender
Dodge Challenger 1969 Hemi R/T


Keeping it realistic :smokin:, not sure what the wife is gonna drive!

[LeinsCSL]

If it has to be a somewhat realistic list, then the F40 is ruled out I suppose, so:

Porsche 964 RS
Porsche 996 GT3 RS
Alpina E30 B6 3.5S
Alfa SZ
Merc 190E EvoII

And yes, I realise that 4 of those were built within about a 3 year period, but you could blame Performance Car when I was 14 for that.

If I had to select a car currently on sale, I'd be going either the 1M or Alpina B3 GT3 route. And I'd be keeping the CSL too

[toplad]

I'd have to go for,

Porsche GT3 997 4.0
Ferrari 430 Spyder
Lambirghini Gallardo SE
Porsche 1972 RS (white and red)
Porsche Cayenne diesel

[E46CSL]

1275 Cooper S

E30 M3 Sport Evo

911RS

Ur Quattro

Gull wing Merc

[DuncanR]

A yellow Robin Reliant :clown:He said keep within a reasonable budget ..... for your location that is !!:hahaha:

[niall1]

1972 911 ST (a replica or shatever they're called these days would do)
20v ur quattro
964 RS
Impreza 22B
997 GT3 RS 4.0

Have some need the rest.. :drool:

I'm leaving out the CSL as that's just a daily hack ;)

Edit:
And if budget wasn't an issue one of each Group B homologated rally/road cars..

[dave wilkinson]

1m
clio williams
integra dc2
r35 skyline
997 gt3

reason for the above is, its all i really look at when searching for cars. had alot of the stuff i wanted already.

[niall1]

clio williams
integra dc2


:thumbs:Good taste. I had both of these and they were superb cars. Would have loved to have kept the Clio but was leaving the UK for the southern hemisphere at the time so it had to go..:bigcry:

I ended up coming home earlier than expected so the missus is now wearing the balance of funds from the car on her left hand (a daily reminder :banghead:) but a fair swap! :smt055

[still no worries]

Lotus sunbeam
Defender v8
Gt2 rs (I wish)
Csl
??????

[dave wilkinson]

a clio williams for a wedding ring you need to get your priorities right :hahaha:

nearly bought one six months ago but the insurance was £400 more than a 172 cup so opted for one of them instead. tbo wish i never as i have'nt grown to like it, although it is good fun. will be advertising my clio as and when i can be arsed and going for either a williams or dc2. which did you prefer?

[glendog74]

Sensible list:

E30 M3
E39/60 M5
Porsche 997 GT3 (white with big fuck-off wing)
E82 1M
Ginetta G50 track car

And with the spare change: Mercedes CLK DTM or Ascari A10... :drool:

[niall1]

.. going for either a williams or dc2. which did you prefer?

Hard to choose. I'd probably pick the Williams to keep and the DC2 to own and sell.

The DC2 was typical Honda and the 9,000rpm red line was addictive but the Clio with a strut brace and few suspension tweeks would cock it's rear wheel in a way that made you smile at every roundabout. Of course if you changed your mind it would spit you out backwards in 205 style. :whistle:

[The Gorilla]

Hi,

458 Challenge - optimum Track Car

Venturi LM600- Just to see if the French really
did construct a chassis to equal the F40.

Honda NSX 'R' Mugen- what do the Nips know that
Senna did'nt

CLK Black- Can an 4 seat Auto really be fun ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

I was about to make a thread like this but it would have been called something like:

Cars made in the last 25 years that you wish you could keep/own
(sensible price range)

I have something like

BMW E60 M5 (the v10 engine)
360 Challenge Stradale (noise)
GT3 RS 4.0
BMW e82 1M
Maserati Granturismo S
Lamborghini Countach
Subaru WRX STi 22B or 2006 model (modded with big turbo, open wastegate)
BMW M3 CSL (obvious)
Porsche 935 Turbo/wideboby
Nissan R35 GTR
Aston Marton V8 Vantage (pretty cheap and great V8 sound)
C63 AMG
