Cizeta-Moroder V16T then. Tres restrained.

I see what you mean:

Double pop-ups FTW!

Glorious, isn't it?

The only way they could improve it is if it had more wheels. Which suggests:

Always wanted one of these, ever since my Dad took me to see the RAC Rally a few times when I was a kid. Still mt favourite car...

I learned years ago that aiming too high always leads to disappointment.

My wife and I talk about this all the time. What would we buy if we win the lottery/finally come up with a decent business idea that works.

I’d have a 911 or two, maybe a Cayman GT4, maybe a bonkers super saloon/estate, a tuned M5/RS6, although I’m not a fan of autos. A Caterham/Atom for track days, I’d like a supercharged Honda K20 Elise, some other things…

 But my every day car, I’d be tempted to keep what I have just now, leave it dirty, with that little scrape that needs fixed and a few stone chips etc.

 Then go to town underneath, supercharger, forged pistons and rods, fancy cams, lightweight fly, bigger brakes, renew all the rubber and stiffen the suspension a little bit. Couldn’t really call it a sleeper, it’s already a lardy 2 seater convertible ‘sports’ car, but yeah, that’d be fun.

I like a bit of ambition.

My ultimate guitar is a Squier Affinity Strat....

The 911 is obsolete these days. I really don't see why you'd buy one when the Cayman and Boxster are so good and half the price.

Although tbh I really fancy one of the new MX5s

As for said practical car... my ideal situation at the minute would just be a newer Civic than mine... one of the current (outgoing) models, with the 2.2 diesel. Biiiiiiiiig mpg, plenty of poke and also a massive boot.

I actually really like the station wagon version of the current civic. Cool looking car.

I thought I was the only one. Agreed it's a great looking car, especially in all-black.

Back seats. You can get a sandwich on one, and a packet of crisps and a can of fizzypop on the other. Just.

Also as much I my preference is for 2WD, MR, and NA, they don't make a Boxster or Cayman with a turbocharged flat 6 with 550bhp and 4WD. 

So yeah, if we're talking about dream cars, not "Well, realistically the Cayman makes more sense" cars, a 911 makes the cut. I'd have both.

The estate is much better looking than the hatch. If only it was AWD.

Because icon.

And - re this thread - if they're just 'as good' as the 911, then they're not really cars to dream about.

Despite owning the one in my avatar and a Porsche, I have a hankering for a Ferrari 360. Should have bought Jay Kay's one 5 years ago.

I get that, but the old 911s are the icons. Not the latest mega-engineered GT/RS/4WD monstrous barge of a thing they're making these days.

Don't get me wrong - I'd take a good 993 Carrera 2 over almost anything else ever made.
