Everyone has a car/bike that they are aiming for as their next. We noticed this early on with Fox. What does everyone want next? Please note it must be realistic for you to actually get this car in the near future e.g. not Ferrari F430 at 17 . The cars in the photos were used as I think they are both great examples/photos of them. Photos of said car are encouraged.

Here are mine:

I told my mates when I was 18 that I would have a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR by the time I was 25. I turned 19 and bought my M3 and had to sell after 18 months due to issues with the car and sheer cost of running it.

I now have a new target - I reckon i'll be able to afford a nice DB7 or TVR Tuscan by the time i'm 25. If neither of these, it's gotta be an M5 or the new M3, depending on if it turns out as promising as it sounds.

With a job at BMW on the shelf though, my short term plans could be ranging from a Cooper S company car all the way up to an M6, depending on what would be available.

Woop!
 
My plan is to run my current car until next year so I've got another year's no claims. (205 GTi)

The either something RWD (MX5, N/A MR2) next winter, or shove an Mi16 engine (2.0, 16v, 160bhp) in my current car.

choices eh? ;)

1990 Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 truck. I'm picking one up for $300 that has a blown engine. I'll be transplanting my current engine into it and tearing my existing truck apart to make a wood carrying trailer out of it.

I'll be going from a rusted out hulk with absolutely NO toys (AM radio that doesn't work and everything else is manual) to a really nice truck with ALL the toys (you name it, if it was an option on these trucks, it's in there).

And since I'll be going from a 650cfm carb to throttle body injection, my mileage should go up, too.

The only down side is I'll also be going from 15" tyres to 16". BOO!! $105 a tyre to $165 a tyre for the same brand and model......
 
Next one will more than likely be a 1994 Toyota celica.

And after that if, I can find a cheap garage a home built trike. I won't be releasing any details on that though, Oh got to finish the dodge before I start that as well.

I am actually happy with my current cars at the moment, a golf for longer trips and an old landrover for scaring myself silly within the speed limit ;).

But, everytime I see a 993 turbo I go weak at the knees*. To me these are the best looking "modern" cars on the road, plus I gather the performance is quite acceptable :D

* darn you said keep it realistic. Oh well... I might win the lottery :confused:

I was this |---| close to ordering one of these last week but I had to be realistic as I can't really afford it for another 6-ish months.

It's likely to be an MX-5, then progress onto an Elise.

The Estate will probably get upgraded to a Transit when the business is regularly performing well.
 
I'd happily get one of these....
