I'd prefer a little sports car!
I may be biased, but a Tesla would do the job!
My other half would settle for a 911 (as long as I can choose the colour!!), and he's been very good this year

I will have my 1965 Cortina GT and 1973 Capri V6 back over any other cars. They were the love of my life till I met Trouble N' Strife. As for Harley Davidsons..... They should be called Hardley, as in Hardley a motorcycle.

Only joshing about the Harley. Good relaxing ride and a completely different concept to those MV Augusta sports bikes. I wrapped one of my Capri around a tree when some &^%$#**#! dropped diesel on a sharp bend in the middle of nowhere at 2 in the morning before mobile phones.... Didn't even have a chance to correct the slide. It was fun waiting in agony down a ditch hoping somebody will come along and notice the tree hugging car before it bursts into flames. About two hours later another car slides off around the bend and just manages to miss my car before hitting the ditch. Lucky he was more mobile and managed to flag down another car about 1/2 an hour later. Then the ambulance spun out in their hurry to get to us but being an expert driver he saved it before the ditch. Fun all around!
