Now, something similar has been done before, but this can have a few rules
1. 5 cars max, 3 cars min.
2. 2 motorbikes can be used in place of 1 car.
3. Any make or model. Prototypes are ok.
4. They have to be driven. You cant have it in storage forever.


1966 Pontiac Parisenne, 4 door pillarless
1959 Chevy Impala
1966 Buick Wildcat (427Ci)
2006 Lotus Elise 111R-for the missus
2006 Lamborghini Murci

If I were to have more cars, these Australian cars initially spring to mind:

Elfin MR8 (Formula 5000)
Elfin ME5
Matich SR4
The Veskanda (still holds many Australian lap records, built in the 80's)
Bolwell Nagari

(Edit:I'm surprised at how boring (imho) most of the cars that people aspire to are. I reckon if I trully wanted the aforementioned cars I could afford a few of them at some stage in my life. Remember, you can sleep in a car, but you can't drive a house )

If money was no object:

1. Latest Ferrari
2. Latest FPV top model
3. Latest Merc 500SEL
4. Latest Rexie STi
5. Big prime mover with big bullbar to make those 4WD drivers think twice.

No model designations as these would be consistently traded for the newer model when released.
