muon* Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Truth be told I'd likely get a low mileage Mirage Cyborg for under 10k. It would satisfy my want for performance, but align with my want for practicality. Edited December 19, 2021 by muon* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relatively discrete looks, a wagon with lots of room for cargo and dogs, AWD. Comfortable and goes ok too. Goes ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArthurDent Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Not that it's possible because none of them survived but how about a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T used in Vanishing Point. And no I have no desire to go looking for any bulldozers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wron, I know I mentioned that my cars potential is wasted on roads, but even if I had a 911 Turbo S, I still wouldn’t track it. Just curious, why? Risk of damage?

Extremely agile, very fast, and hugely tactile. All whilst still serving as a practical hatchback. And reasonably affordable. (Affordable as long as you stick within the speed limits).

Tony M Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yep, I'll play. Now let's see, for my all-round "daily driver", I want 4 doors and 4 seats, all wheel drive and a practical hatch/wagon configuration. I have no real need for a high-riding SUV style off-roader and no desire to compromise ride, handling etc by owning a huge, truck-like vehicle. The Porsche Panamera GTS Turismo checks all the boxes and then some. The only negative is the price, which is exorbitant, even by Porshe standards. Take money out of the equation, and I'd be happy with one of these. There's really not a lot else in the same category despite the fact that it's an extremely enticing mix of sporty driving ability, desirability and day-to day-practicality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synodontis Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 In the spirit of the game, "If I could afford it" I've gone above & beyond the day dream arena & entered the fantasy realm, with a final twilight zone entry lol. 1st up, the ole chook is going to need a runabout for shopping & running errands around town. So for her..... Porsche Macan GTS, she enjoyed the Macan S I brought home for the weekend lol. Now I'm going to need something to run around in picking up.. stuff I guess, room enough for speakers / amps etc. Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, should work OK Sometimes you just want to pack up & head bush for the weekend, or maybe take the ship out. Either way I'm going to need a 4x4 to tow the ship or head up that old unused fire track in the Grampians, or an ice-cream at Halls Gap. Enter the Marauder - for when a Hummer just wont cut it. Every now & then an item comes up the SNA classifieds that you just have to pick up, but it;s intestate. The Porsche & Alfa are fine to zip around town but for fast,comfortable weekend trips interstate? Lets take the - Mercedes-Maybach Brabus 900, Twin turbo V12 Also need a toy for when you just want to have some serious fun SSC Tuatara Striker should cover that. But hang on, what about having fun with 3 mates, better have one of these in the garage so we can share the excitement Koenigsegg Gemera - true 4 seater supercar Hmm, what to do when the Porsche or Alfa need to be serviced? For such occasions we can use - Mercedes S65 V12 Now in case the Bitcoin market falls over, I've also made payment on this to be delivered after the others have been repo'd lol. No idea when it will be finally available tho. I believe other then designers & builders, Supercar Blonde is the only outside person to drive the proto-type. Devel-sixteen The only 2 I have access to are the Macan S & the Alfa, wouldn't it be nice lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the car's own soundtrack. Mind you, a generation ago it would have been a high revving V8 with a glorious note. I love the looks of the MC20, undeniably a modern super car but with taste. I've got a B&O system in my car, car audio is pretty ordinary for quality but I do enjoy music whilst driving. Maybe more so that sitting in front of the stereo at home (lobs grenade and ducks for cover). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic—Jaguar XKE For trips with friends—Aston Martin DBS Superleggera For cruising down to the beach—Rolls Royce (maybe a Dawn) For hooning around in the twisties—Porsche Boxster (I've got one of these) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
