TR250
BMW Z3 Coupe
Mini Estate (clubman with roundnose, shaved)
1973 Corvette

although i'd be happy with the z3 and estate. hopefully i'll end up with both before i feed the plants.

I think that the V12 would be just about right. I might add a Mercedes Benz Gullwing also. and maybe a MGtc. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
So much for simple wants.
