    Favorite toy at the moment:
    Fiat Dino Spider 2000 V6 (same engine as the Ferrari 206). Goes well with my vintage watches.
    Daily driver Alfa Brera - goes well with the Pam.

    Nothing wrong with a 306 Rallye, it'll go down as one of the all time great hot hatches... but you already knew that :wink: Here's mine, had it nearly 6 years and still great fun to drive...



    Here's the family car...



    And here's what gets the blood pumping :twisted:

    Looks like a lovely example 8) Must be as rare as hen's teeth, how easy is it to find spare parts?

    Easy .. just walk along behind it and they'll fall off in front of you!

    Only kidding - Fiat jibe. Lovely looking car 8)

    Re: Member's Cars

    Greg - its finding one to follow....
    They only made about 1000 spiders and were never sold in the UK - would have cost you more than an E type or Cobra at the time.
    Engine spares no prob (if expensive because of the Ferrari connection) but running gear and panels getting a bit difficult now.
    Its just had an engine rebuild and is now putting out 160bhp with turbine smoothness and a loverly noise from the treble webbers and Ansa exhaust.

    One beautiful car that has always tempted me, but the engine rebuilds were something I don't fancy forking out for. I bet it sounds amazing with the ansa exhaust, fine car indeed! Tony

    The only problem I have is that it doesn't get driven as much as it should, I've covered less than 2k miles in the last 6 months!! :shock:

    Specialist Cars do have some nice ( if expensive ! ) stock. I personally prefer pre '73 Porsches though.

    The ML is just an '09 320 Sport wiht air suspension & stupid wheels ;) I love it, but mainly because it is so different to my other cars & it is great for wafting about in . I do like 4x4's, here is my old one ( a proper 4x4 ;) )

    Man I keep searching for them. Impossible to get them close to sensible money. I suppose the only way would be bring one in from Germany and live with the left hook...

    I picked one like this up last week for the little lady. 2010 4MATIC. Considering the snow we just got, the 4MATIC was $4000 well spent!

    Ok boys and girls, here's mine. Hence my user name.
    VW Rallye Golf G60. One of a homologated run of 5000 built for the world rally championship. Based on the MKII Golf GTi, but with 4WD and a G60 supercharger. Boxy body panels a la Integrale / Ur quattro style.
    Only comes out in the summer. We drove to the Nurburgring in it this year.
    Driving round the Karussell




    And a Skoda Fabia vRS SE. One of a limited run of 1000.

    The only correlation i could see there is, and that would be that if the car was lets say a Bentley GT convertable then the person could pretty much wear any sodding watch he liked as far as value might be concerned in reasonable terms of value.i have a Breitling but drive a 10 year old BMW 3 series coupe,no correlation there that i can see,i bought the car because i liked it,but the watch came as a deal with another watch,as pretty much was the case with all my other watches.

    Very nice - I thought about getting one a while ago but the potential unreliability issues put me off. I bought two Alfas instead :?

    Such a shame that TVR is gone.

    Neither are Alfa unreliability issues. A car made out of pecorino and spaghetti would have been a safer bet than my 156, and that was before some scrote decided to throw a bit of pavement on the bonnet.
