Everyone has an idea of cars they'd like to own before they die and i'm just wondering if any one has managed to tick any off their lists?

I personally think myself lucky as at 23 I've managed to tick 2 off my list which are my MK1 GTI and my ATR.

The MK1

My special EG6 (will own next year)
Supra TT
R34+R35 GTR
KPGC10 GTR
RX7 TT
EF9
E46 M3
Evo VI TME

Before i die i really want to own a MK2 escort, i don't care what kind as long as it's a MK2 escort.

Probably a 1.6 Mexico or something. RS2000 is dream car tbh :)

Quite a few I want to own, even more that I simply want to drive.

To own- Impreza STi, Evo 8, Skyline R34 GTR, E46 M3, E60 M5, SL55 AMG, Lamborghini Gallardo or Ferrari F430 (if I 'make it' lol).

Always lusted after an Accord Type R since reading a Top Gear review many years ago when I was about 12, so thats one to tick off the list now.

DB9 or Vanquish or DBS.

R34 GTR.

Dream car;

http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/200803/1995-mclaren-f1-lm-3_460x0w.jpg

Mclaren F1 GTR LM.

More special than the Veyron. And just as fast really, although, in that top gear drag race between them (although that wasn't the GTR), Hammond must of been holding back/didn't launch properly, should of stuck someone else that could drive it properly in it because it should of been ahead all the way, still, I always feel the Veyron was just made to be quicker than the last quickest car (the Mclaren), I mean, I guess you could say that about all the cars that have been fastest in the world for a time, but it just feels like that's why they made it.

Ah, here (from wikipedia); "Hammond has stated that he did not use the Veyron's launch control in order to make the race "more interesting. ""

This pretty much sums up my feelings;

Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 (which for many years was the fastest production car ever built) said the following about the Bugatti Veyron in UK auto magazine evo during its development period:

“ The most pointless exercise on the planet has got to be this four-wheel-drive 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) Bugatti. I think it's incredibly childish this thing people have about just one element—top speed, standing kilometre or 0–60. It's about as narrow minded as you can get as a car designer to pick on one element. It's like saying we're going to beat the original Mini because we're going to make a car 10 mph (16 km/h) faster on its top speed—but it's two feet longer and 200 kilos heavier. That's not car designing—that just reeks of a company who are paranoid...

i wet myself with these and i have a mate in switzerland who has one, i have a lot of jealousy when i see him :P
