I am looking at buying one (not v8 though!) very soon, but i have been told i cant get one until either my sister moves out so there will be room for another car or until i move out so i can have it where ever i want.
Its the sort of car whenever i go past one i gawk at it and think 'if only that was mine' (even at ones in crap condition!).

Too many choices really - Here's some of my Highlights....

From the US Muscle Car Era:
- 1970/71 Dodge Challenger with Hemi or 440 (I'm not fussy)
- Shelby GT500 (Elanor)

From the Aussie Muscle Car Era:
- Valiant Charger - with the Hemi 6 (while the v8s are cool the Hemi 6 is all Aussie)

From Japan in the Modern Era:
- R32 GTR V-Spec
- 3rd Gen Rx7 around the Series 8
- R43 GTR V-Spec

From Europe:
- Porsche 935 K3 Racecar
- Porsche 930 Flachbau
- Porsche 928GTS (last of the run - 30+ years of design Evolution)
- Aston Martin Virage v8
- Just about any Mercedes "SEC"

That's just what i can real off now and some of the classic choices.

Dump a load of cash in my hand and I'd be chasing something like this:
http://www.qsm.com.au/show_car.php?id=136 or
http://www.qsm.com.au/show_car.php?id=109

And every car collection needs a tow vehicle...

I'm lucky to have one of my dream cars, and I have a beautiful bike as well.

Currently looking at replacing the tired old COD with a CX7.
I LURVE Audi's - they are just classy.

But my ultimate fave:
ASTON MARTIN

of course darlink!
