    Hmmmm...for me it would have to be something like the Lamborghini Murcielago or an Aston Martin. They're absolutely stunning cars and the engineering and design is flawless to me in my little world, but I could never own either because I won't ever be that frivolous with my money and it's practically impossible to own one as a normal car because they attract more attention than heat attracts flies.

    That and a mk5 R32. They're faster than the 4, have a better chassis and they're newer, but I just prefer the 4!

    that's exactly how I felt in Dubai........one of possibly only 2 x 3 doors MkIV's in the country there (the other a crappy US import, which I drove when 4 sale and mine which was bought new by a Scotsman in Germany for his wife, it had a year in Milan-Italy, was shipped to Muscat-Oman and I bought it in Dubai with 110k klms on as the boot looked new and he had just replaced it with a Mk V Tournado Red GTi)

    ....it was a lucky find on Expatwoman.com and I had no idea of it's rarity until after I bought it.....everyone had new MkV's which cost 5 to 6 times what I paid for my 7 year old Mk IV...but which one looked better, you be the judge:

    still kick myself for not bringing it back, as the freight was free for me anyway and all i would have had to cough up would have been duties.....

    KTM X-bow for the raw 300HP Go Kart. Will never own it becasue it costs way too much for me to consider practical and it has no windscreen/roof.


    Zenvo ST1. Styling wise this car blows everything else waway plus it has an uprated 7L V8 putting out 1104BHP . However they only made 100 or so of them and pre-selected the owners themselves.


    Shelby Mustang 500GT (Eleanor) becasue it is just a beautiful piece of machinery, yet i don't even know if we can get them here, plus fuel is going to be a killer lol.


    Pikes Peak Ford Fiesta because 800HP in a 2L 4Cyl would blast anything away at the start/turns. However it was custom built for the Pikes Peak race so we will never see it.

    ^^ I was more thinking cars you'd never own because of stigma etc associated with them - not ones we simply admire but are plain out of reach for most of us i.e. Lamborghinis, Enzos etc.

    Some interesting choices early on though. Citroens?! You guys are nuts lol

    Favourite car of all time, Toyota Supra, whether it be a twin or single...

    Cheap for what they are, but couldnt see myself living with one... both day-to-day living, and alive-living...
