1/ My Panda Fantasia stays.
No explanation needed.
2/ Project Crossbow aka Lotus Carlton.
Thinking mans Skyline as happy at a classic car show as on a race track.
3/ Wide body Porsche 935 Turbo SE
One of only three cars in my life that have scared me. 1980's traction control? "Fit wider tyres and hope for the best".
4/ Lancia Montecarlo Volume X
All the car the X1/9 should have been only without pop up lights.
5/ Blue Ford Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost.
This is one of only two new cars I'm remotely bothered about. The world and his horse are going on about the V6 and V8 models but for me the four pot 2.3 is the one to go for. Why? I'm old enough to remember the Sierra RS and RS500 The Mustang Ecoboost will be the first front engine rear wheel drive turbo four pot with a Ford badge since those good old days.
6/ Alfa 4C Spider
The other new car I'm bothered about and one of only two flappy paddlers worth putting petrol in.
7/ Maserati MC12
The other flappy paddler and even though critics suggest it's just an Enzo in a frock she is so much more.
8/ Hennessey Venom GT
Forget the Veyron, Agera R, Huayra, Huracan, La Ferrari, P1, 918 and all the other over hyped hyper-cars what John Hennessey and team have done here is taken a sweet handling British sports car, shoehorned a V8 in there and built a world beater. Sounds a bit like...
9/ ...the Shelby Cobra.
I'd prefer the Le Mans GT version but would settle for an original open top if needs be.
10/ 1972 Buick Riviera (Boat tail)
This car is sublime and ridiculous. Massive, but only has two doors. Ruddy great V8 but barely makes 150bhp. Sculpted body, based on a square. 12mpg but Tax exempt.
Such a nonconformist car; perfection.
