I'm liking some of Impmann's suggestions! I don't have ten of my own, because I haven't slept properly in days (don't ask! ;D ;D) and I'm not in an imaginitive mood, so I'll try and think of a few! ;D ;D * Start some kind of Plymouth - Dakar style rally, my current idea is a Glasgow-Moscow-Glasgow challenge, all for charity of course, I even have an idea for what the money would go to, (namely the childrens' hospital in Glasgow that are the reason I didn't die several times during my childhood, I've always thought I should do something to repay them!! ) but that one'll stay a pipe dream until I'm slightly less skint! ;D ;D * Build a hayabusa engined Hillman Imp and use it every day * In response to the government's new car tracking system they seem to have borrowed from an Orwell novel, I'd like to drive an old Volvo through the front wall of the DVLA's head office in Swansea, with "Track this!!" written across the front of it! ;D ;D ;D

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

I love these 1)Build a car that no one else but those in the know see's the point of (that'll be the bus then ) 2) Blast the local B roads in said vehicle. 3)Lap the Nurburg ring. 4) own a lowrider 5) get a porsche 912 (I've got a "thing" for em) 6) create a state of unity among people into cars, from the "cruise" to the "rod" scene and all in between! (no, it won't happen, but I can dream) 7) Buy a genuine cobra 427 8) run a sub 10 1/4 in a bug 9) pimp a big J saloon, because I can 10) run a stupid fast 1/4 in the bus.

Some great suggestions above.
Mine would be to storm up the Stelvio Pass preferably in a rwd Alfa with 'ample' power.
Would love to do the 'Ring - anyone see the edition of Top Gear where Clarkson got his ass whipped (not literally) by the German bird?
