Some kind of 7
Rickman motorcycle

Mercedes C class DTM style car
Volvo Estate touring car.
Rock crawler

Not strictly kits but things I would build given the time and money. I actually have a fantasy projects list which has all the above on.

Some nice suggestions, I was thinking Caterham Levanté V8 shoe horned into my Panda, lowered with some kind of AWD.

Dream car is a Ultima Ultima but would also have a few more cars.
GD T70 for track work.
2.0 Type R GTM Libra as everyday car.
Caterham 7 with Huge power Redtop engine and twin bike engine kit car.


matty h - 21/4/10 at 05:40 PM

Forgot to say I would also have a Bowler Wildcat for off roading.

A dream garage kitted out with a pit / 4 poster and all rest id need then onto a GT40 kit with mega power, a few luxuries like aircon to make it a real all weather kit and then beef up the MNR with the most track sensible kit possible and find a cool (if you can say that?) motor home to make the most of towing the MNR around this countries tracks and the european ones.

Got to admit, if I had loads of cash I wouldn't even consider owning a kitcar. I'd probably buy a factory built Caterham for trackdays but that's not really a kitcar is it?

Sticking to kit style builds:

Lola T70 rep (oh wait, already doing that).
Lancia Stratos rep.
Modernised 7 style car (like that v8 swedish car I can't remember the name of now).
Ultima style car with two bike engines longitudinally in the back inboard powerboat style.
Traditional 6/ early 7 style ally bodied car with narrow wire wheels.

Cheers

for me it would be,

ultima can am
xj220

some sort of super sleaper, such as a veyron engined transit, always liked the supervans and seen the xj220 test bed transit.

spend a lot of money on learning how to drive fast.

but my main 'project', id love to build a helicopter. dont know why.


Simon - 21/4/10 at 08:04 PM

Just get me Espace serviced

Gradually going off spending loads on cars (irrespective of my imagined wealth situation). Prob stretch to an Ultima eventually but XF diesel I like. May get Deimos finished at some point.
