If you could own any car or bike....

...What would it be?


I would go for a 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K, the classiest car ever built...The top speed of 110mph isn't too bad either. ;) :D

I had a 1952 MG TD. Green in colour. Leather tannaue cover. Leather top...
Ran like a champ.
If I could get that one back, that would be my choice.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Ooooh toughy. E-type Jag. A Ferrari 250 SWB, a Ferrari F40 or the Ferrari F430 I think. It's too close between any of those to be certain.

Being a Mercedes fan I would like to have this one:

Mercedes Benz 600.

A typical car to start world domination from.

Carlo ;) (one day I will rule...)

Edit: A Carl Fogerty Ducati 916 will do fine too...

Currently my dream car would be a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 but I have a mental list of around a dozen cars which I would definately love to have (Bugatti Veyron is not on that list!)


That list is as follows:

Morgan Supersport
Pagani Zonda F
Brabus Bullit (in black, of course)
Ferrari Enzo
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
Ariel Atom
Noble M600
Koenigsegg CCXR
McLaren F1
Caparo T1
Gumpert Apollo
Aston Martin DBS
-------------
VW Scirocco (gotta have something casual)
Mazda RX-8 (for when I'm too cheap for most of the above)


So right now would be the Lambo, but I'd definately accept any of the above. Oh, and if you pay for the insurance and the fuel!
