You can do it for cheaper like 5-6k but having the national geographic biologists and photographers there would be an awesome experience.

Ferrari Dino for me - I know its not a fast Ferrari but it was the first Ferrari that I ever went in at the tender age of 10 - in fact it was one just like this and the passenger door would sometimes shut properly - sometimes it wouldn't - so it added a little jeopardy to every trip :o It sparked a love of cars that is still with me.

For me that would be the one-off OEM E34 M5 convertible: combining the car I should have never sold (that is an E34 520, not an M5) and the Z4. Or to put it differently: pure 90’s p#rn:

Ah, you see it's all down to being what some call 'minted'. Money's no object so doesn't require 'thinking about'. One simply buys and buys :D
