Next on my list is an Alfa Milano.

I never find them when I am looking to buy a car, but the seem to be around when I can't purchase another vehicle. I desperately want on though.

I'd love a Maserati BiTurbo as well.

'63 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso

'35 Talbot lago T150 coupe (replica woudl be fine)

My '63 Comet convertible done.

Realistically? In order of likeliness:

  1. Swap a AGZE into my 86 aw11 for use in CSP - don't think I'll ever get rid of this car. I lub it.
  2. Bugeye WRX wagon for german shepherd hauling duties (he goes with me to work) Besides, the wife wants one.
  3. S2000 for daily driving
  4. NSX Zanardi edition in black (closest we got to a S-Zero or Type-R)
  5. Lotus Exige in white for track days
  6. Lancia Stratos for HSR - I'd be ok with a (good) replica
  7. Ferrari 308 GTS
  8. BMW 120 diesel hatchback (they'll never bring it to the states unfortunately)

Nothing revolutionary. I know it might as well be the pics on my wall in high school, but hey - I guess some things never change.

1G CRX HF for daily appliance.

Turbo D16 1G CRX Si for weekend fun (in the works.)

Sub $1k Greasel Mercedes (just so I can say I did it.)

Old Mopar. Nothing fancy. Dart? Duster? Valiant? Grandma Green or Doo-doo brown, eventually a 440 Crate resto-mod? I desperately feel the need for something with a V8.

I'm really starting to get a yard on for the MR-S every time I see one.

Oh, and a baby blue 914 for mamma, cuz she thinks they're "cute."

With ten cars... you could have a lot of variation...

  1. Winter DD/Dirt roader - WRX STI w/ some rally mods

  2. Summer DD 2 Seater - Porsche Boxster S w/ PDK

  3. Tuner special - hopped up version of current car: 2007 350Z - LS7 swap, fender flares, 275/40R18 Front 305/30R18 Rears, etc. Real monster.

  4. Track car - That 500HP Ariel Atom of awesomeness.

  5. Hauling Duty (family) - Mazda 5 w/ Mazdaspeed3 powertrain & suspension, custom exhaust/tune

  6. Hauling Duty (Cargo) - Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 w/ some ridiculous diesel turbo swap.

  7. Off-road - Ford F150 Raptor with that ridiculous new engine

  8. Sleeper - re-badged BMW E36 M3 (as 325i) Sedan w/ 335i powertrain tuned to produce 450HP, with slicks on basket-weave look forged aluminum wheels

  9. Supercar - Ferrari F430

  10. Restomod - Corvette Stingray w/ LS9 hardware.

I actually have a milano, and it is my only car right now. Its actually pretty easy to work on once you figure out how to do something the first time. The only parts that seem to be a problem to get are window regulators, other than that its not too hard ot keep one running.

If you want a cheap one, I know where you could get one for $300 if you wanted to come to cali to pick it up. You would have to decide about it soon though. lol http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/milano-75-1987-1989/151993-200-milano-gold-sale-san-luis-obispo.html

  1. Another GT3, one car I wish I never sold.
  2. DB9.

The DB9 has the greatest chance of anything that I currently have looked at, but I plain don't fit in the hardtop ones.

I would love a Atom but I would totally kill myself.

7: Opel Kadett Coupe (Or just a Chevy Chevette with the Opel front grafted on. Same T-Body afterall). Total suspension rebuild, 'Zuki H27A V6 engine. Caged, stripped and flared. Course...it might just be easier to tube frame it...

9: Lotus Carlton

10: Volvo Amazon. Unsure of how I'd mod it, but I want one!

Ten cars? Urm, I'll try...

1)'87-93 Mustang Notchback with full GR40 suspension

2)'98 Camaro Z/28

3)Mk I MR2, supercharged

4)Clean '87 AE86 GT-S hatch.

5)N/A FC with a properly rebuilt engine

6)P71 with a positive displacement supercharger.

7)3rd gen Celica GT. I don't know why, but I've always wanted one. Don't want the Mk 2 Supra, don't want the GT-S with the IRS, I want the 22RE, a 5-speed, and the stick axle.

8)S2k. Driving one for about 5 minutes it seemed like everything I liked about RX-7s with nothing I didn't.

9)'40s Mercury, slammed, with some huge Caterpillar turbodiesel cranking some insane amount of boost. I think this would weigh something like 7,000 lbs, but I don't care. This would be the manliest car on the planet, and the mere act of sitting in it would cause you to sprout chest hair and grunt like Tim Allen. There would be laws passed that it would have to drive equal amounts east and west each day just so it didn't change the rotational speed of the planet.

10)I don't know, I'm still fantasizing about #9. Urm, a locost, I guess.
