Agree with Higgy.... I can't honestly think of a current UK spec and available vehicle I would aspire to own now ,
None of the current road cars appeal from any manufacturer , I would have gone for a sports estate like the Audi RS6 but even they have been ruined by nanny EU regs and the fact that every performance car now has to pop and bang when they change gear and have silly flaps in the exhaust that make them shouty at odd times ....what ever happened to letting it sound like it should....don't get me wrong I love the sound of a tuned engine but none are musical anymore in the way an Escort BDA or my Manta 400 on twin 48 webbers were..... or scary like a Quattro was....we ran ALS on Escort Cosworths back in the day so I suppose in a way it's our fault that car designers think it makes their car sporty...... ironic that when you get to an age when you can afford pretty much whatever vehicle you want nothing appeals and you start looking at the vehicles you couldn't afford 20 years ago.....
Twin Turbo Supra...
2 Door Subaru Impreza STI with wide arches
Evo 5 Mitsubishi
Even a V8 LR Defender
List could go on but all cars with character and the perfect blend of tech and old school performance
