No hard and fast rules but lets say:1. You can only have one.2. You only have to please yourself.3. You can only spend $30k.4. It's probably going to be 20-30 years old.Some that would tempt me are:XY GT replica.928 Porsche. 6 series Bimmer.Clubman type roadster. (Westfield, PBR)Austin Healy 100/4. Full house 1310 Cooper S.Lets hear yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpy What's happening? Lifetime Members 1,605 Member For: 22y 1m 14d Gender: Male Location: Steel City, NSW Posted 12/11/03 04:29 AM Share Posted 12/11/03 04:29 AM Clubman rep of some sort for mine. Just love the minimalist idea for a sunday morning drive up into the mountains. Next best thing to riding a bike.For something a little more civilised (ie one that SWMBO would approve of, and actually ride in), possibly a Triumph TR4 or TR6.

Got ALL the details.Plonky certainly showing his muscle car preference.Utah's 65 GT350 sounds good.Another for me would be Healy 3000 but at $30k it would be a bit of a basket case.Another sedan that still has good cred and road performance amongs those who know, a well worked over BMW 2002 or 2002Tii.
