Petrolheads......

[KingPoker]

Following on from another thread about cars, everyman or rather every petrolhead has at least 5 if not 10 favourite cars.

So what 5-10 cars would you have sitting in your virtual garage?

Minimum list of 5 cars and pics more than welcome!

Cheapest Caterham 7 with skinny tyres
New M3
Golf GTI

If I had the cash for a 5 car garage it might line up something like this, different cars for different purposes. There's 5 but the RS4 and IS-F are pretty much interchangeable, I'd have the RS4 until the IS-F is for sale next year.

5-10 of these in assorted colours.

The Bugatti Veyron is obviously an amazing car.  But this car is just brilliant, and is perfectly usable as an everyday driver - also love the fact that it was developed in Britain by a few men with flat caps in a shed smoking woodbines.  Ladies and gentlemen - the Bristol Fighter T.

(Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it).  Then there's this lot:

• Twin turbocharged and intercooled 8 litre V10 engine
• 1012 bhp at 5600 rpm
• 1036 lb.ft of torque at 4500 rpm
• Bristol Cars have over a quarter of a century of turbocharging experience, for, in January 1980 they introduced UK's first turbocharged car - the Bristol Beaufighter
• Functional exterior styling changes and mechanical alterations to suit the extra performance
• Lightweight sports interior
• First deliveries of Fighter T expected September 2007
• During the short times the Bristol Fighter has been on the market we have noted that owners tend to use the cars as everyday transport instead of a conventional car. They also love to use them for recreational or track day purposes.
• In spite of the Fighter and Fighter S's very high performance, to our surprise we have sometimes been asked for more.
• The Fighter T (which will be an addition to the range) answers these requirements without losing one iota of street credibility.
• Kerb weight 1595 kg. 52% on rear wheels
• At 3500 rpm the standard Fighter produces an impressive 525 lb.ft of torque. The Fighter T delivers more than 900 lb.ft at the same rpm, and continues to do so all the way up to the rev limit of 6000 rpm.
• Drag factor reduced to 0.27 by a new rear wake diffuser.
• A potential maximum speed of more than 270 mph has been electronically limited to a more than sufficient 225 mph at 4500 rpm.
• 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds.
• Responding to the needs of some exacting customers we have created a very special Fighter variant which, as ever, remains a compact and enjoyable car to drive around town or as an exhilarating track car. Yet it takes two people and their luggage in great luxury and ease for trans continental travel.
• Bristol cars believe that there is no other car with such a remarkable range of abilities.
• Retail Price £351,931 including VAT.

But, for a more realistically priced (but still well out of my price range) car, it'd have to be the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR, probably  one tuned by MINES.

This is one they tuned a few years ago (look how quick the pick-up is through the revs - that's one torquey engine):  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-348078270231384071

This one belongs to a friend, and for some reason he's selling it.  Maybe due to the fact that he lives in Jersey, and the speed limit is 40mph there?  Still, it's only 70mph here...

Probably the most famous skyline ever, the JUN Lemon is here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsFdPbMOq-o

(do other searches for it. Its renowned in Britain and my mate showed me on the skyline forum of a biker who had posted on thee asking who the owner of this lemon skyline was who blitzed the biker who was on one of the fastest superbikes you can buy!- I believe its on sale aswell for summat like 50K or summat)

Trouble with the bristol is it looks hideous. The veyron looks like a bruiser and up for the challenge, the bristol looks a bit limp!

Will post mine on here tomorrow!

Great choices so far, especially junglecats lol!

[kinboshi]

A bloke called Mick owns the Jun Super Lemon now (well he did at the end of last year, and he was thinking of selling it).  Probably is the most famous due to the Top Gear exposure - but it's far from the fastest in the UK.  You wouldn't lose it in a car park though...

The Bristol is hideous?  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I love it (it looks even better in the flesh so to speak).  You missus loves you.  Love is blind, etc.

Anyway, my next car is probably the most beautiful car I've ever seen.  I remember seeing it at the motor show in Brum in the 80s (when I was a little whipper-snapper) and thinking how incredible it was.  This is the actual one.  Did you know that the colour of this one is called Chichester Blue, and 27 coats of the stuff were used when painting the Aston.

The Noble M12 is another beautiful car (IMO), with the performance to match.  Frighteningly quick, and handles like a go-kart.  Probably the fastest car I've ever driven on British roads, and probably one of the biggest smiles I've ever had.

Not ridiculously expensive either (but still well out of my price range...).

My fifth choice is for when I have kids and have to join in the school run with the other chelsea tractors.

I'd go for the Bowler Wildcat - made famous by the Paris-Dakar rally and Richard Hammond driving one on Top Gear.

They've recently brought out a Range Rover model as well.  Again, some fellas in a shed - this time in Belper.

Shelby GT500/Chip Foose modified

The Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible is a mean car.  I don't know what I like more in terms of muscle car, either the Holden or the GT500. The Holden Commodore is a fantastic car .
