I used to be a real 'piston head' but these past few years (as a married man) have caused me to rethink my priorities.
As a driver, I actually prefer Lamborghini to Ferrari, not that I've actually owned either.
I know Graham will never forgive on this, but I've owned a TVR Cerbera that had a top speed of 200mph and could achieve 0-60 in 4 secs but it never really captured my heart. I lost a lot of money on that.
When I lived in Japan I was so lucky to drive an Aston Martin V8 Vantage Le Mans (5.3 litre V8 ) around a private track.
WooHooo. That was some years ago but what a thrill and with some comfort too.
I now covet that Aston Martin One-77 (7.3 liter V12) looks beautiful.
Given a million I'd also consider the sleek and beautiful Jaguar XJ220
But, ever since I saw a TV programme about the design, the building and the awesome performance of the fastest and sleekest and sexiest car ever and given unlimited funds I'd buy .......... guess what??
I've just got to say (sorry sorry sorry guys ) that those real muscle cars just don't meet the sexy smooth and sleek lines that turn me on.
The most fun car I ever had was the humble Mazda MX5 1.8 Not exactly a dream car, but one I had such joy with over a few years, especially driving the country roads. Like driving on rails. Comfort too.
Being hyper critical just a little low and a little small.
