Banzai, you got it right there. A car that's perfect (if anyone knows where it is then let me know) can't be taxing. You should be able to leave it parked without worrying about coming back and finding it vandalised, or not finding it at all because the Scum have had it.
I'm still going with the usual apparently dull list of cars for my garage. Audi RS6 Avant fitted with a manual gearbox and a Peugeot 306 Rallye.
I'm only going to have a double garage...

Where has the 156 V6 gone, Sam?

Replaced by the 306.

Erm, the same 306 you once called "bloody ugly"?Replaced by the 306.

I'm a little disappointed nobody's mentioned an E-Type yet.
You're bad people. All of you.

A thouroughly modernized Series 1, yeah, that'd be perfect. Your run-of-the-mill E, while it's gorgeous and I'd love to have one, isn't what I'd call perfect.

I don't find the 306 at all ugly, I think it is one of (if not the) best-looking hatchbacks ever made. The 307 I detest.Erm, the same 306 you once called "bloody ugly"?

Best looking hatcback. Big claim there...
I'm not so sure it is.

Everything just fits right on it. And you're not allowed to include the Aston Martin V8 or Renault Alpine A610 in that, I'm talking family hatchbacks!

I wasn't thinking of those. More of the 147 GTA and especially the Delta HF Integrale.

The 147 is nice, granted, but I prefer the purity of the 306. The Delta is a breeze block with wheelarch extensions.

Ferrari 250 SWB — (it's a bulldog bred with the bird of paradise)
Maserati A6 GSC Coupe Pininfarina — (brutality in equal measure with ballet)
Ferrari 250 GTO — (Give me one reason why not? Wanna make something of it, you big poon?)
Mercedes 300 SLR — (As "772" campaigned by Moss and Jenkins)
107-chassis Mercedes SL — (Fast isn't always the point. Johnny Carson had one.)
McLaren F1 roadcar — (See 250 GTO)
BMW 3.0 CSL — (Set the pace for BMWs today; looks better than all since.)
Fiat 500 Jolly — (You'd ruin those wicker seats with all the rum-soaked fun you'd have, but surely one of the girls you bang will have a grandmother who can weave.)

Of the early one I like the fact that it's an unasuming family hatch that can do 0-60 in Ferrari pace. The dual exhaust and small HF badge being just little hints of the beast that lies underneath.
The latest one was just downright malevolent. Scaring children, and its rivals, to death.

Yes, but anyone who doesn't like cars sees it as a breeze block with wheelarch extensions. Us car boffins know that the potential is huge, but other people see one ugly car.
That's why I like the 306 and 147, now you come to mention it. They're both exceptionally pretty, and even people who'd rather saw their own legs off than talk about cars (i.e. my mother) comment on a white Rallye as 'rather pretty' and the 147 as 'possible next car material'...
