1) My Mantis, with any and all problems fixed immediately.
2) My Frontera 'cos I really like it (you don't have to, but I do)
3) The biggest Winnebago that money could buy with the pop out sides and all that stuff but modified to have a hydraulic/electric tailgate behind which would lurk a Harley Road King, Honda Gold Wing and Norton Commando 850 Interstate. Ooh, and did I mention that it would be towing a double decker trailer with a Shelby Cobra and a '56 Chevrolet...

1) I'd have my car re-bodied in aluminium with a John Eales racing 5.3 Rover V8 in it, maybe with a supercharger, everything else totally bespoke and aluminium where possible.
2) Aston Martin DBS Volante - beauitful and fast
3) Aston Martin DB5 Vantage - obviously
4) Ferrari 250 California - Simply the most beautiful car created
5) Spyker C8 Aileron Spider - Quiffster will back me up here I bet, stunning car

Depending on which family member you ask you will get a 100% different response but OK here go my choices.

2. Jag XJ220 (just gota really)
3. May sound corney but a 67 GT500 mustang fastback. Eleanor........... enough said.
4. Maserati Quattroporte (as the obligatory practical choice)

I think, Zeke, you need to get out of London - big time! Take 2 weeks holiday touring England, get some air in your lungs.The city pushes people together in an unnatural way, it hardens the arteries of social interaction, it stifles the things that need space. It slowly turns you .. in fact I don't think 2 weeks is enough - and I know that there is no job in London that pays enough to drag me back. When you retire and move out to the country - which cars would you...

I am cycling/camping the Outer Hebrides (as far away from the smog as possible) in a few weeks time, so would have a pushbike as one of my five,

Where I live in London it's not a good idea to leave your valuables about, so I'm employing an anti-matter policy...... but if that wasn't a problem I'd have A Lambo Muria Ferrari Boxer Maserati Khasmin Lancia Hyena Fiat 500 Abarth (60's version)

1) Mantaray 4.6 softop - to satisfy an ongoing need.......... 2) Metro 1.3 auto (25,000 miles) in pristine condition - because I need something small to get around London that I can park on the street and not have to worry about anyone ever trying steal or mark it - and even if they did it wouldn't matter (so far I have had 4 write off's while sitting in my front room). Also as a future donor for number 3)....... 3) Midas Gold Coupe - to satisfy need 2) but with a bit more...

Being horribly practical and to meet the daily needs of my family.

Iso Grifo 7 Litri (for rare classic italian exotica)
Overfinch Supersport (Range Rover) (to take the dog for a walk and stuff to the dump and aged parents for a quiet run in the country) (I like Noccer's Idea of the Bowler)
Jag XFR (for work)

My Marcos 1600 GT, all complete with hot Alfa 2000 engine and a carbon fiber chassis.

Lamborghini Muira S, not SV, the body lines are much cleaner.

Ferrari P4 (sort of had one once, a Noble version, miss it a lot).

3.8 E type roadster. Had one, now I feel stupid for ever selling it. In my meager defense I only sold it to raise "investment capital" for a company I was starting.

Triumph TR-3, "small-mouth", stripped down as far as...
