3 for the rest of my life sounds way too radical to choose now. Deffo an early Corvair on hydraulics, but dunno what else.

Here's mine... No messin' - Practicality out of the window... Just the first three most unreachably obscure/exotic Italian supercoupes I can think of on my want list. Mangusta  KHAMSIN  And the mighty 512 Berlinetta Boxer  If I had money I'd be dangerous! |

Keep my Amazon, but have it fully restored. Secondly, either a prewar Riley special in a similar vein to either The White Riley or Dixon Riley (as a VSCC racer), or a civilian one such as a Lynx so that there are rear seats for the twins. Would be nice to keep my AH Sprite, but the Lynx trumps that easily in so many ways. As much as I love the disappearing hood of the original '33 model year, it would have to be the later 12/4 Lynx Sprite, in fact preferably the exact one my father used to own (pic below is a similar one):  Lastly, a '60s Maser QP or possibly either of the '60s or '70s Lagonda saloons. The Towns one is awesome, but the Rapide & QP are more understated.  |

I think I stick to the three road going cars I own now, Daily driver ...  Holiday/GT car ...  And to just enjoy throwing around ...  I know rather sad, two hairdressers cars and a Land Rover very likely to break down ;D But I still enjoy them after all those years. |

3 cars eh? Okay... The daily  A Great Wall Phenom. Or Yaris/Echo if you prefer. But I love the nose. Just picture it flat black, suitably low, suitably wide elastic band rubber and a suitably large/supercharged engine under the bonnet. Maybe even with the Death Proof skull and lightning bolts on the bonnet. The weekender  An early Ford Falcon station wagon. Me being the twisted individual that I am, it would most definitely end up with a Holden Commodore supercharged V6 (yes, there were factory supercharged Commodores). Column shift auto, two benches and a bunch of dead tree inside to match the fake dead tree on the outside. The insanity toy  The quintessential Aussie muscle car. A Holden HQ. Stuff a giant big block in the front, add a blower, injection and menthanol, tub the rear end so you can fit steam roller billets. And sucks the steelies well inside the guards for minimal guard damage during a burnout. I think I'm a fan of superchargers |

1. It would have to be my current daily as I love them....  2. For showing off and because I've always wanted one;  3. And this. I know its not 100% car, but the good bits are... ;D  |

It would be unthinkable not to have this. I've wanted one since I knew what a car was.  Then for the long distance cruising, it would have to be this.  And for holidays, this, but gassed or running on Citroen hydraulics (for variable ride height) and with a diesel V6.  This is hard. It's really not my top 3 favourites (the Bora is one, but not the other two), but you have to think about practicality at least a bit. |
