My first car ever was Pug 205 GTI, and I will never ever with emphasis on over my dead body own a French car again!

My next car (currently have a V8 Touareg and a V6 TT, so proper split personality) I am thinking big truck time. Ford F150, Dodge Ram, GMC Sierra...

Get the F150 Raptor... matt black. I keep trying to convince Mrs Millhouse she needs one for the school run.

Silverado. Cheaper than the Sierra.

Guy at work had one, 1 and half cab, 5.7 or something like that engine. Was ****ing mental.

Awesome fun on Emaar Boulevard with the slippery u-turns.

I think I currently have the craziest car I have ever had, and rather pointless in my showroom.

It makes a TVR look like as safe as a volvo.

That's awesome.

TVR's may not be safe but the old man had a Chimaera (sp) and it was a ****ing monster. Unbelievable noise.

Everything broke on it mind.

I have had 2, Chimaera 500 and a Tuscan. Chimaera had a crack in windscreen that they couldn't supply the glass for (Had to sell it in Holland in the end as couldn't get it MOT'd) And the Tuscan didn't like to start in supermarkets making me look like a tit whilst it was constantly loaded onto recovery trucks.

Everytime I drove either car was an adventure. Never knew If I was going to get to the destination as the car may die or I may die.

BUT.

You deal with that shit just for the moment when someone is in their boot in front of you, not paying attention. You start the engine and flatten the accelerator to rev it and watch them shit their pants.

Awesome

You cant beat the old Land Rover V8 burble, compared to the helium squeeks of supercars.
