Just wondering what everyone would drive if they didn't have a G40?
This might not go down too well but if i didn't have a my G40 mk1 project id be looking at getting one of these (maybe not white but in silver or black) :) :

probably one of these
(http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/new/222441.jpg)
but start off with a cheap one, strip it out and turn it into a track day car, like I have done with my g40. I might even start off with a normal 80 coupe quattro and put the turbo engine into it and tune it a bit.
about £7k and a social life
ive been spending a lot of time browsing for a peugeot 205 gti 1.9 so at the moment probably one of them actually.
MK1 Ford Cortina GT 2 door.
or,
Ford Anglia 105E.
or,
Lada ES saloon (pre Riva shape). :o
You might like my Dad's car then breadman ;D

I would personally have a 306 Rallye (nearly bought one last year) or maybe something Jap
With out a doubt in the world i would have bought a Lupo GTI in black or arctic blue, and probably still be working out how the fook i was going to afford the turbo conversion. ;D
One of these:

Or when I sold my G40 last night *sob sob* in the days when I could only have one car .... I had a Mini Cooper S. Good little car and still had the charger which I loved. Until I found out everything was twice as much to change or modify!
p.s. I can't believe you all wouldn't have VW's!!! :p

Yeah, that looks very nice Max. 8) Tell ya Dad to get a period chrome door or peep mirror on it!
What engine/running gear does it have in it?
i'd still have my GT (hopefully without the royal mail induced dent!)

He put a chrome peep mirror on it the other day ;D
It's got the usual 1500 pre crossflow engine with a few bits...
R5 GT Turbo or a CRX
and obviously a lot better with the more money I had *sighs* :-\
I'd have a 2.5 tdi Transporter or a Caddy Pickup or a 325tds Tourer
Talbot Sunbeam Lotus
A mint Mk1 mazda MX5 BBR turbo..
Oh wait a minute..
That's what I have got, after selling the G40. There is life after G smiles!

I was thinking about this last night... A few to add to my list. T5 Volvo, Citroen DS ::), County Transit, Syncro Golf or Jetta, a Notch or Squareback, Scirocco, Phaeton TDI, Ford F250 pickup, Subaru Brat, A2 1.4 TDI, Audi 2.6 V6 Avant. Just a few that came to mind.
its a hard one, but i think it would be a merc 2.5 190e cossie or a golf rallye G60
Easy choice

I thought about this question a while ago and struggled.I'd like to
stay with the VAG Group but my mate has an Astra VXR and i
do like it....but it comes with a hefty price tag.So just to be
different i'd go for one of these....Skoda Fabia Vrs
(http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q130/busterg40/kodafabiawrceditiontopsecretfo.jpg)
Thought about an earlier one of these as the kerb weight is 860kg so junk the crappy
Rover K-Series engine and stick me G40 engine in making it lighter still.
Apparently, theres a firm in Leeds who put bike engines in them.
Fred.
Yep I'd love and Elise too. Either that or would be an R5 turbo or an RS1600 or and S1 RST. Possibly a MK1 XR2. There are loads of cars I'd have but they would be near the top of the list.
I'd have to go along with Sam as I also have a secret Ford appreciation shame...
S1 RS turbo was very nearly the project that the G40 has now become so if I hadn't bought the G, I'd have had one of those.
I'd replace my current daily (too embarrassing to name) with an Audi S2 at the drop of a hat.
Dream car? Escort Cosworth.
She will be mine.. Oh yes.. She will be mine...
to be fair i love old fords...the only mag i ever pick up in whsmith is fast ford or similar cos they have the best reviews and 'how to's' imo...
Oh yeah I would love to have an Escort Cossie one day. The prices are going back up again I have noticed. Awesome cars.
I only buy Ford mags and PPC for exactly the reason Spaniel said.
VW mags too cool for school...
Oh, and EVO for day dreaming!
i reckon i'd have a new mini but with something more interesting under the hood

Another little car ;D
Realistically if i didnt have the on-going "wallet abusing" addiction to building my G then i would have would have to move to the dark side of the world with a Nissan Skyline R32 or R33 GTR Vspec.. although i would need a second job to pay for the insurance lol.
I would still have to have a VAG as my daily though!!
good call on the Lancia Integrale 8)

toyota corolla levin ae86.......1.6 dohc quite rapid plus the speedo is some futuristic delorian stylee
Prob Audi S2 coupe (ABY)
no g er.. er.. er... probably a mk1 escort or audi rs2 :-\

Quite fancy an 8 series, would need some boost, nearly bought one a few months ago. ;D
Would love an e30 m3, although I think I'd prefer one of the Evo 190s.

Got to own an pulsar at some point, and an old 6 series. Always gauping at the lotus carlton down the road everytime I go past it. Mmmmmm.
a pulsar gearbox is made out of that stuff that accumulates in your belly button.

Not sure what I'd have instead, probably some bike engined kit car (fisher fury etc) and a sensible diesel.
Well...
There is a difference in what car i would like to have and what car i had...
Well...
Probably i'd have one citroen zx
BUT the car i'd like to have is: a N14 Nissan Sunny GTI-R, IT'S A DREAM...

IF i had to swap it for another c.£3000 fun car right now: LAD 'refreshed' Peugeot 205 GTi [1.6 litre, in Miami Blue please :D]
IF I could have any fast car, it'd be a Caterham 7 CSR (260 Superlight in Caterham Orange) . At last: a Caterham I can fit my 6'4" frame into!!!
