Cars on your want list?

[The Martian]

Not winning the lottery; quite happy with my 67 plate Citroen Dispatch van. Basic boggo white with no stickers or sign writing. Got pretty much all the toys in the cab though. Currently averaging 48.7 to the gallon, done about 80,000 miles in it in the last two and a half years. Only needs servicing every 25,000 miles and - touch wood - has been pretty reliable up to now; only needing a sticky injector replacing a couple of months ago. A 1.6 twin turbo engine, with a 6 speed box, knocking out about 110bhp but plenty fast enough. @Couchy's superduper transit with it's much larger engine and associated fuel consumption couldn't drop it when we did a foot-to-the-floor run back from BPW to the midlands.

Winning the lottery; I'd still have a van as a daily driver but I'd also have two taking-the-piss cars for shits and giggles...

I'd find the best condition body JDM wide arch Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 and hand it over to someone like Japex or Abbey Motorsport with a suitcase full of cash and instruct them to build me the best road legal tarmac rally spec car they could. Strip the interior out, full roll cage, bucket seats, race harness, fuel cell in the boot, intercom etc. Shed a load of weight; plastic windows, manual winders, composite bonnet and tailgate and the like. 300bhp at the wheels with a MoTeC ECU and dash. Uprated brakes. Lots of money thrown at the suspension and running gear. Plain white. Back road hooliganism, track days and trips to the 'ring.

A BMW M5 touring, the V10 engined one. No badges, lose the alloys and get a set of steels made. Make it look, as far as possible, like an unloved basic no-frills dog bus. Maybe even follow the Volvo BTCC team's example from BITD and put a stuffed Labrador in the back. Never wash it. Stealth speed.

I'd spot the M5 easy with the exhaust pipes.. and the noise that comes out of them lol

Something else I'd like is a decent original mini cooper, had one many years ago (well the ex wife did but I fettled it and hooned about in it ) it was a great thing to play in and not at licence losing speeds either. Road legal go kart

Thinking more about this I must admit that I'm liking the idea of getting an old small car shell and having it electric. There's companies out there doing crate motor and battery kits and I think a lecky Mini would be a hoot.
Something without much in the way of modern tat that cause the wiring harness to be too complicated.
When I was a kid my brother had a Standard 8 and a Standard 10 and my other brother had a couple of Triumph Spitfires, all the engines for them were shite and almost any you put in would have been an improvement.
I'm hoping that this van I have now will be the last internal combustion engine I ever buy, its long in the tooth so it might not work out but whatever I own I want it to be simple, none of the integrated into an operating system type of vehicles.

Most people would take a POS and slap a body kit on to make it look like a Ferrari...

Get yourself a pedal powered go cart for a much cheaper but similar experience.

It's sitting high at the back, I'd also want a massive amount of proof it's a genuine GT before parting with £27K for a Cortina, it's probably a cross between a 1300L and a 2.0 GXL.

It will mainly be remembered for the terrible demo to show how strong the glass is, it shattered at the first attempt.
