I know you're not going to say but I'm guessing it's not a Japanese classic as you already have what is arguably the most iconic Jap classic (unless it's an NSX, hmmm?)


No I reckon it's either German, though I don't think the colour options tally....

Fuck me, is he stringing this thread out???

SPILL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'm wondering what you class as 'classic', is it based on kudos or age ?!!!?

The R32 is a 'classic'.

[Daniel]

I reckon it's Italian. But maybe something not quite as obvious as a Ferrari. Maybe a De Tomaso, Lancia, Alfa etc.


That's my guess anyway.

My boss had a Pantera awesome sound, great presence, but you need to be a gorilla armed midget to fit behind the wheel.

I'm now thinking that Italian exotica is a bit too obvious and if it's going to be driven on a regular basis (perhaps as a daily driver) then maybe it's something a lot more modern such as an Audi RS4/RS6 Quattro or perhaps even an R8. Hot or cold?

I'm going for a Hart to Hart spec Mercedes SL (R107)

Ha, I didn't get the updates on this thread, didn't realise it was still live!! lot's of very close calls there but the reason the thread is strung out is cos I still haven't bought the fucker, new years resolution is to do it! So watch this space....

btw, it will be a "modern classic" rather than something properly classic, in fact, it will be younger than the GTR
