Just for fun, what would your ideal car collection be. It can be as exotic or real as you like, but must include one of each of the following:

TVR
Track-day car
Everyday day
Modified car
Classic car (or restoration project)
Something just for fun


Mine would be as follows:
TVR: My Chimaera 400 or maybe a Sagaris
Track: Lotus Exige S
Everyday: Nissan GTR
Modified: R32 GTR
Classic: Lambo Miura
Fun: Lotus Elise S

Hmmm...I think I would have to test all my dream cars before purchase, as they don't always turn out how you imagined when you actually get to drive one of them

1. My Griff (with restored chassis and respray)
2. Sagaris with LSxx conversion becuase its what they should have made paperbag
3. Ultima GTR evil and i've always wanted to build one cloud9
4. Massa Quattroportte for the boring stuff wink
5. Spyker C8 spider
6. Superlight R500 cos i want to see what all the hype is about.
7. Smart car with Hyabusa engine..just becuase its nuts
8. 1936 Alvis Silver Eagle - this one;

Track-day car: Griffith 500 or Impreza STI type RA if it's raining.
Everyday day: Griffith 500 or Range Rover Vogue if more space is needed.
Modified car: Griffith 500 again, or Impreza RA.

Something just for fun: Griffith 500 yet again (or the WRX wagon off-road autotest car, just so I use all of the fleet).
