Good on you for dreaming. When I were a lad I had a series of TVRs - Chimaera 4.3, Griffith 500, Cerbera 4.5, similar in spirit if not reliability to an M perhaps, and over time as I got older and a bit more cash of course I began to realise the petrolhead dream in my own small way. After the TVRs came a 325i (yes I know, but it was a BMW), a Caterham R400, 996 GT3 (gen 2), Gallardo Spyder, Gallardo Superleggera, LP560-4 coupe, Murcielago LP670-4 SV, LP560-4 Spyder, 997 GT3 (gen 2), my wife's first Z4MC, a Juno CN race car, and a Radical SR3. Currently we have a 599 GTO, a 16M, another Radical (SR3 RS), and we've agreed the purchase of a Z4MC. I've started to tire of looking for the next thing and will definately keep the GTO for ever, perhaps also the 16M. These days I find myself hankering after older cars, and my wife often catches me browsing the web in search of an F40 or a 288 GTO. So I think the thrill of the chase is changing, certainly for me as I get older, but it never seems to go away!
I'll post up some photos of the cars I've had if I can find some. But keep on dreaming and keep on working hard, but most of all keep on obviously enjoying what you have too.

Read and inwardly digest!!
Bless... you actually went to all the trouble of googling a photo then uploading it to photobucket and finally linking it here just so that I can have another laugh at your expense!
Keep it coming. I'm enjoying this. 8)
Fabulous!!
Why don't you start another thread with your car history, would be an amazing read!
Ps I'm with Paza on the additional family member, perhaps we could have bunk beds!!

Spectacular list Andrew, and very 8) pics.
Briefly, what do you make of the Porkers/Lambos/Fezzas you've owned? Any disappointments, or all special in their own way? And did you track any of the exotica? I'm presuming you do a fair few track days looking at some of the track-focussed toys in your list...

I love that you've turned to reverse psychology to make yourself look less of a prat!
Your inital post speaks volumes about the kind of individual you are! - Enough said really! This is a BMW forum, not Saxoexperience or what have you...Maybe you'd be more comfortable over there where talking about age/money/jobs is more their style.
Andrew - What a series of cars! Very tasteful!
