...What would it be?

I would go for a 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K, the classiest car ever built...The top speed of 110mph isn't too bad either. Wink

Ooooh toughy. E-type Jag. A Ferrari 250 SWB, a Ferrari F40 or the Ferrari F430 I think. It's too close between any of those to be certain.

Currently my dream car would be a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 but I have a mental list of around a dozen cars which I would definately love to have (Bugatti Veyron is not on that list!)

That list is as follows:

Morgan Supersport
Pagani Zonda F
Brabus Bullit (in black, of course)
Ferrari Enzo
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
Ariel Atom
Noble M600
Koenigsegg CCXR
McLaren F1
Caparo T1
Gumpert Apollo
Aston Martin DBS
-------------
VW Scirocco (gotta have something casual)
Mazda RX-8 (for when I'm too cheap for most of the above)

So right now would be the Lambo, but I'd definately accept any of the above. Oh, and if you pay for the insurance and the fuel! Grin

Lamborghini Reventon, preferably with a touch-screen MFD on the dash, full carbon-fiber and titanium honeycomb composite construction, a big forward-swept spoiler, convertable hard-top, and two GE T701Ds. Grin

Although I think I might rip the car apart with the 6x hp of my T701Ds. Grin

Not much into cars, though my ex-boss had a fully restored 68 Olds Cuttlass I drove a few times and fell in love with Smiley

I could go for most old American muscle cars. Wink

What I really want, an 87 3/4 ton or 1 ton Chevy 4x4, long bed, diesel, and painted dark hunter green Cool

One of these days I plan to find one in decent shape and restore it. Why an 87, just because I want something from the year I was born, and I like that body style Tongue

After spending two days with Ducati's up at Cadwell, i can appreciate them for what they are... This will also answer this quote from a few posts ago:

Where as Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki are Road bikes made to be Race Replica's (if you can't afford to get the top of the range version), Ducati's are Racing bikes Made for the road, hence there gear ratio's etc, Costing an arm & a leg to maintain is really only the Belt's and Valves as there rather fiddly to repair..

well I guess I would take a jeep wrangler same as what I have now.

I would add all of the power options, ie power windows/locks and swap out the automatic transmission to a 6 speed manual. would also include a hard top for the winter as well as the upgraded stereo to one that includes the nav system and built in HDD.

After that add some Wrangler durra trac a/t tires and a bestop trektop soft top for the summer I'd be ready to go.

Car:
2011 Ford Mustang GT(Shelby Cobra version would be nice)

Bike:
Suzuki GSXR1000

I would like to get to drive a Ferrari 575, but I don't think I'd ever buy one, even if I could. I know a couple of guys that have/had Ferraris and Lambos, they truly are junk. They might look nice, sound awesome, and be fast, but they fall apart.
