What vehicle Money no object???

[glojo]

Second hand car Maclaren F1 or if it had to be new then a Pagani Zonda F. No kids and i'd take the dogs to the vets in the van. The build quality of the Pagani is second to none and I mean second to none

I've had to suffer and if you have dogs or a dog and take it in the car, then it lookslike your choices are not practical, apart from the van!!

So what sort of van???

I just stumbled across these.... can I get them on whatever vehicle, even a van? I'll keep the van and resell the rims (to who, I'm not sure, but I;m sure eBay will find someone )

I would have an Audi RS6 Avant

by definition, money no object must mean you have enough to buy more than one car?

so as that stands, i shall buy a reliant robin. just for the novelty factor. i can then have a proper car, or indeed, cars in the mansions detached undercover parking area.

As I said right at the beginning it is all about seeing what vehicle we would choose that could meet ALL our requirements. It is eezy peezy to choose the biggest, most powerful, most expensive car on the market, but the challenge is to get something nice, but practical. It must be or has been mass produced, so the Maybach Coupe has been given the olde heave ho!

Apart from that we have seen some very nice vehicles. My favourites being the two older nominations, unfortunately neither would suit my requirements.

Money no object

One car for the whole family

If your single or just a couple then the World is your oyster, but Janner, do you go to the Cash & Carry??????? (I'm envious of your selection)

am still going for the reliant. you can get 4 in it, and the laugh from you and everyone around you would certainly keep everyone cheered up. in fact, as they are about £1000 we should all buy one and start a reliant club. that also means that money is no object to us now.

anyone up for a lime green one?

now would anyone actually dare drive one?

but just as the point is money no object and it a car that fits my lifestyle..its got to be this one.-

and it has a mercedes connection...well it users the chrysler 8l v10 anway. that means its engine is built by daimler chrysler. so i supose if you squint abit it would classify as a merc!

£1000 sounds like they're appreciating (and quite right too - endless novelty).

Very nice link, with excellent pictures.

What a weird name though Bristol Fighter? Driving a 'Fighter' will certainly suit someone prone to road rage!! Why not Bristol Beaufighter

Not that I am suggesting you are prone to bouts of RR

the beaufighter was a previous model, as was brigend and britannia and the blenhiem is the other model they do. and i saw one in southend in september. what an ugly car...just right for me.

i sat in the fighter in london, at the dealers which is on the corner of the hilton hotel. it has roof switches which look like aircraft style switches for turning on the dash lights and igniton. now that has to be cool.

until you knock the ignition off instead of the lights and the car stops.


but this....you just have to have one dont you? http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/BlenheimSpeedster.htm


and RR? i have been called so laid back i am horizontal....i couldn't be bothered to argue with that either!

Thanks for the wonderful link. I had previously thought that Bristol cars had gone to that big factory in the sky along with Humber, Wolseley, Jowett etc. I have just been looking at the Bristol owner's club and they have numerous pictures of the marque. Bristol

I do hope you did not think I was accusing you of any type of road rage? A thousand apologies if that is the impression I gave.

Hi Graeme,
I fully understand what you are saying and Shude has been heartless in my situation and shattered my dream of the 'ideal' vehicle so I reckon you can jin me in only having a Sprinter with a very nice lift.

Kind regards,
John
