Hi guys..
I was just wondering what your next car will be, and also, what is your dream car? My next car is still a mystery, but my dream car has always been a Mclaren F1. How about you guys? Chuck |

Dream Car yeh... My dream car has always been the Ferrari F40. In my opinion it was the most beautiful Ferrari ever made. & If I will be wealthier than I expected than I would love to get either The CLK-GTR, F1, or Nissan's R390... Hehehe, its a greedy dream.
Happy motoring, ET |

Mercedes Benz - CLK GTR, http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/timcott/clkgtr.htm .
But of course Then a Ford GT-40, with a 427. I would go on, but the garage would fill up to quickly. Ross ------------------ 96 C280 [This message has been edited by roas (edited 06-21-2000).] |

My next car is still un-decided. Originally gonna go for Roadsters. But figure 4-door might be more practical. Probabaly Audi S4 6-speed.
As for dream cars. Well, more down to earth will be Viper R/T10, BMW Z8, and Mercedes CL600. As for "pure" dream car, Ferrari F40 and F50 will made to my list. Lambo Diablo 6.0 and Roadster will do, too.... It never hurts to dream, isn't it.... Andy Kuo ------------------

My next car will probably be a 92-94 400E.
The dream car would probably be the new Jag coupe for looks, the S coupe for technology, and the Viper coupe for performance. (Hey, it is a dream after all!) ------------------ JCE 87 300E, 65k miles Smoke Silver |

I'll 2nd the GT40 for top dream car, followed by a Jag 'C' type racer, and a Gullwing.
Then comes the Ferrari 246 Dino and abunch of other cars. I always wanted a Mini-Cooper S as well. |

Next car will most likely be an E430 or hopefully by then certain people on this forum will be tiring of their aging E55's
As for dream cars, Aston Martin Vantage:- Nuff said! yal 88 230E (W124) |

I can't believe it completely slipped my mind!
We never did agree only on ROAD cars, so after careful consideration I'm going to go change my mind. My impractical Dream Car would be a McClaren-Mercedes MP4-15 I could live with that! Just saving the money to drive once a year would be well worth the perma-grin! And for the Ferrai fans, you can't argue with the performance of Mclaren's only competition. For the road, A McClaren LM May as well have my own Highway to go with it? Choices, choices? Sorry, I get carried away! Geez, we have so many Billionaires in this country and the U.S. can't even build something that can share the same road? Is it impossible, could America ever have something so special as a Ferrai, Mclaren, or Lambo?

Once upon a time America had Cad-Allards, Scarabs, etc. Now we seem to specialize in soul-less cloned boxes with shared mechanicals and zilch personality. Yeah, I know there are some factory prepped mustang prototypes and tuner (Calloway) vettes out there, but nothing special as far as touring or road racing cars. Maybe now that Cadillac (?!!!?) is back in racing there might be some exitement. Maybe an Aston Martin Vantage-like car? Of course, in democratic SoCal all cars are equal - everyone does 20 miles per hour on weekends or rush hour

Here is a list that could go on and on like an oil discussion...j/k
Dream car for a daily driver....probably a 6.5 500E with F1 6-speed tranny and ALL the toys. Maybe a NOS system and/or supercharger on that one...still undeceided. Wouldn't mind a twin-turbo C36, supercharged C43, stage 3-4 S4, E V12. Dream car for the exotic category...McLaren F1, XJ220 (styling/engine note), 993 TTS with more than a few toys, Ferrari F50. Probable next car: At the moment here are the candidates...semi-new S4 with a couple minor tweaks, a "project" 500E (perhaps with NOS), or a CLK320 or CLK430 with a Kleeman supercharger. Reader/viewer input/voting is more than welcome... Just my humble picks....Lee |

I'd go for the CLK430 with supercharger, but that 500E with NOS would be a Rocket.
