My Perfect Car.

Browsing Autotrader, as you do and spotted, what is probably my perfect car.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. 565 bhp of class and fun 8) :driving:

No doubt not to everyone's taste but for me the perfect balance of Style, fun, performance, looks, class and in my favourite colour.

So what's yours. Not your ultimate, dream machine, but the one, that if you had the dosh, you would happily drive to the shops or to work or to a pub lunch, every time the sun comes out. :)

I did see a hardtop, gullwing version on the road one night and it had huge presence, but I love the looks of the roadster with the red roof 8)

Thing of beauty that. I met one coming tuther way over a crest, on a single track forest lane. Think he cr#pped himself. Zed pulled up in plenty of time of course. Polite nod and we squeezed passed each other. :wink:

If you visit the Bugatti museum at Mulhouse in France you can view the collection then go out the back of the museum and drive a 356 roadster around the small oval test track for €50 or so .
After you've driven one you'll probably change your mind , it's a great little car and the one we drove was a very good example , albeit a roadster and not a speedster, but it was still rubbish .
They offer other cars too , a 3000 Healy , c1 corvette, mondial etc , all good examples and available for short test laps or half day tours .
I'm 54 this year so I've driven all sorts over the years , not some spotty teenager without a clue by the way :lol:

No such thing as the perfect car, which is why people who buy the cars above only keep them for 1 or 2 years. They get bored with them and move on to the next 'perfect car'. Collectors who own the classic Porsche's, Bugatti's etc., keep them as an investment and rarely drive them. The grass is always greener...

Possibly just me. But I buy my cars and then keep them until they are no longer viable to maintain. Never yet sold one because I was bored with it? :D :wink:
