A fine choice sir, I'll take a matching one in Targa red please

I also own one of my dream cars, a humble 850 Mini!

Dream cars well just to look at would have to be Bugatti type 57C, but to drive it would have to be one of the Le Man's Bentley's or one of the Bentley Blowers

Either way it ain't going to happen without a sizeable lottery win.

You would have trouble buying one even with a lottery win.

It took Brian Johnson (AC/DC) ages to get a blower Bentley apparently.

I took one of my dream cars out for a spin in the sun today, well it was yesterday evening really.

I know nothing about them...but always liked the looks of a Volvo P1800.

I have an MGF. Hands down the funniest most endearing car that I have ever had! It just tugs at my smile all the way.!

Reminds me of a fox terrier, somehow. Full of fun and never gives up.!

Dream cars are just a marketing exercise, like most things these days. You yearn for the dream and it usually turns out to be a nightmare, or they bring out an "improved" version or a later model. The "top of the range" becomes "obsolete". Roy Orbison sang about what he did "In Dreams" and maybe we should leave dreams in our sub-conscious, as reality often doesn't live up to the hype!

Sorry!

I agree, sums them up perfectly.

Once you have a good one with the HG having been done correctly, then these cars are like a F-35 stealth fighter.

So much fun, and such a massive following these little roadsters have.
