Have you ever owned the car of your dreams?

Oh we have similar good taste, again no chance unless I win the lottery or the wife dies and I blow the insurance.

Its all good of course, but my leanings are for the 500,.... I love the more sculptured street look,......
It is odd, [MENTION=6741]jakarta[/MENTION] seems to have me down as anti car as well.
Which I'm not, well not in the purposes of this thread anyway.
The best car I ever owned was a Toyota MR2 (honest I'm not anti-car), not my dream car but when compared to my 'history' it certainly stands out.
I had it for a few years 15 or so years ago.
The problem was, even back then, it wasn't being 'driven'.
I would just be sat looking at the car in front.
With the massive increase of other road users, the condition of the roads, and the cost of the upkeep, I was just wondering how much actual fun was involved in owning a Porsche 911 twin turbo thrillbeast.
Or are they becoming like expensive versions of those 'still boxed' toy collectors.
Oh I exempt campervans from this, as anyone wanting to go to Cornwall between May and October will need somewhere to stay overnight. So that makes perfect sense.
There is, yes. Now no-one ever DREAMED of owning a car like the one I drive. It's just not the stuff of dreams.
It is, however, beautifully engineered to the smallest detail.
Of course we all hate busy traffic, etc, but at least I suffer that traffic in comfort - heated leather seat, brilliant stereo / navigation system, etc, etc. And when traffic and conditions do allow, it's pretty good fun to throw around a bit, too. I love my car. It's my oasis of personal space.
Bloody good grip to, what with being able to hang upside down.

I think I might have figured out why you're so grumpy. Take the train, it's less strain

I did own an old shaped BMW 318 lux sometime ago. Not that quick, but the rear wheel drive was very good. It looked good too.
Could fancy something "exciting" like a Porsche 944, or a 2 seater. But my driving is mainly motorway and I couldn't justify having 2 cars at the moment.

Was that taken before you had it shipped from Oz?

I considered one of those, but at the time was told it was strictly a 4 seater, so went for an A6 instead. I hear they now offer a 5 seat option. I agree with the other points though, a pleasure to drive, you can wang it about a bit, but the delight is in making a long journey, swiftly, in great comfort, and arriving feeling like you've just popped out to the shops.
I've had 3 adults sat in the back, and it's fine for modest journeys, but yes, the rear leather seats are really designed for two.
