I have 2 routes that i'm undecided with atm...

1) something 6cyl and smooth filling the role of daily driver with a bit of poke (E46 330i coupe being a current example)

or

2) a sensible waft-a-long car for the shopping / daily drive and have kept my celica, but have it modded to the teeth :D

Hmm, if my plans go to fruition, i'll upgrade my Civic to an Integra Type-R in 2010, then to a mid 90's NSX in 2012 :)

So, yep, ideally 1998 Honda NSX :)

I can see myself with a veg oil-running W123 Merc wagon for daily duties and a T-car, BMW '02, Avenger or similar for fun.

Kicking a rounded 300bhp and sub-900Kg.

In 5 years time? I have no idea to be honest.

In 5 years time I will probably have a career sorted out car wise, I'll probably drive the Escort until it becomes too expensive to fix up for it's MoT, or something expensive goes.

I'm looking to downgrade to a 1.3 or smaller anyway... I don't need a big engine or big fuel bills. I just use it to go to work, see my friends like anyone else.

But I'll probably have a classic as well just for fun :)

Well, for the commute to work, hopefully still my crappy 205 :). Costs less then £10 in petrol a week (small drive), and its a reliable old thing.

And for the weekends, I've currently got my triumph, but I'm hoping for a stag or a morgan :).

Possibly a:

Or maybe a corvette, or an S Class. I really can't make my mind up.

probably what i have now or similar, i'll hopefully be in a career and all moved out by then so will have better things to worry about than my traveling :)

if, however, i dont have better things to worry about i'd love an old estate type car on some wide wheels :)

hopefully i'll still have the urquattro but in a lot better condition than it is now with twice as many valves;).
with possibly something else along the lines of an A4/S4 for going to and from work/shops etc.

most likely something insanely dull and small for the week day runs to the station + a lotus 7 alike with a turbo'd bike engine to get around the £5k tax on anything over 1L the government will have introduced

Oh and for some reason I have a fondness (as a hack) for a white, uprated, B16 (or whatever) engined Civic (breadvan one) for charging around the place......Maybe next year, I think, for work.

Or maybe an early Prelude, I don't know!

I read that in a Vicky Pollard voice. Was quite entertaining...

Anyway, erm... in 5 years i hope to have the ST220 3.0 V6 (none of this poncy diesel malarky!). Of course, my opinions might change! I also love the Integra DC5's, so maybe one of those babies.
