Lightbulb If money wasn't an option?..



We all sit around our garages with a beer or two and the conversation ends up with

"I would love to be able to buy....."...

If money was not an option what would be sitting or parked in your garage..

I'm not too fussy, I think for a daily driver I'd be happy with a BMW M3 Coupe, and for a toy a Lambo Miura but If no one would surrender one, I'd settle for a Pantera.

Since I was about 10 years old, I dreamed of owning a Cobra. One that was brutally fast, had killer looks, and was a blast to drive on the street and the track. Well......

People often joke about "Living the Dream". I'm actually doing it!

Any supercharged Duesenburg would do the trick for me.

Mods:

Can this be moved to all Cobra talk to get more visibility? Good post, curious to see the responses.

Hmmmm, very nice indeed & a favorite of mine.

I'd try for Larry Ellison's Fully Billet Kirkham Cobra...
failling that I'd settle for either on of these two 1930's beauties...

1930 Mercedes-Benz "Count Trossi"
"I cant insert the pic :-("

or the Bugatti type 57sc Atlantic


Daily driving would however be a b!tch!

Enjoy...

Agreed, the 250GTO is very, very nice. The 250GT/SWB is 'OK' as well.
But what about this one, the Bentley Blue Train Car? One only built, so Vintage Racing Green are making replicas based on Bentley Mk VIs....





Cheers!
Glen
