I'd feel and look like a dick in a supercar, would have no interest in buying one even if I had the money 8)

Tricky.

Track day/Peak District cars would definitely be both a GT3 RS
Image

...and an Aerial Atom (track fitted, supercharger upgrade, etc)
Image

Daily drive either a Ferrari 599 in blue
Image

or DB9
Image

although the Maserati GranTurismo is another contender
Image

and I do like the idea of getting a honking great V8 and RWD drivetrain fit into a 406 Coupé...

And the family car, an Mercedes AMG E63 Estate
Image

Would have been an easy choice of an M5 Touring, but they don't actually appear to make M5s any more! :cry:
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
