I know, to be fair its contradictory to a lot about me as I prefer Q cars or out and out function over aesthetics (hence the GTR) but I drove a diablo SV and it scared me in the right way!

I love a nice GT. Something very unsuspecting but has oodles of power under the bonnet. Things like the 400 and 412 Ferrari's have always ticked a few boxes for me, as has the more modern(ish) 456. Probably why I like Maserati's a lot more as they are the thinking (or poor!!) mans Ferrari!!

456 in dark blue is lovely, I know people compare it to the ba**ard child of a ford probe and capri, but I think its lovely!

I went to test drive one a couple of years ago and was so nearly going to part with my money, but ended up getting a 964 C2 instead. Was a nice drive and did everything I wanted and some and sounded superb, but it had some checkered history which made me wary and I walked away. Maybe one day i'll cross that urge off my list but Porsches will always pull my heart strings more than any other car.

sorry but if i won the lottery, just would love an aston martin , my brother has an aston martin in gulf racing colour all tuned by prodrive , having driven that i would never want a cd player as the engine note is like the gods from heaven shouting just awesome and as for a ferrari it would have to be a dino or a daytona please so yes i still have a few audi in my lottery garage it would have to be a short wheel base audi sport quattro like the blue one which was on the forum the other day just just total car porn

first thing i think is yer a wagner... just a tit with a bunch of cash... im sure the cars are lovely.. but id respect them more if they had a mint mk1 orion .. if ya get what i mean.. anyone could buy a ferrari if the had the cash.. but how many would hunt down a mint low milage manta or a 325 sport..

Lol, went in to town yesterday dinnertime and there was a chap the other way in a stunning 3 door Cossie. There could have been a whole fleet of Ferraris going to other way, but it was the Cossie which was getting everyones attention.

exactly..

im sure if i had the cash id buy something flash too... something that bugs me is people driving new sporty audis, that dont acknowledge you in yer classic audi.. but maybe it just me and my fascination with scrap..

Agree with Styler, you either get an admiring throng of Q7's having a gawp, or some t*t in a 2 litre oil burner that thinks it cool to flash you to get out of the way.
These twonks are however bettered by the Bad Manners W*nkers in their BMW.
Little scrots in series 1 1.6 that think the third lane is theirs. I always like to disappoint their need for speed

Was out in mine Friday eve and shot past a new gti, he eventually came behind with his phone on the steering wheel clearly videoing my cq in front. Never get anyone in a new Audi doing that but different breed now...
