Today seems like a slow day on Oppo?

@CB R8 V10 might be the one for me. I hope they drop a little, because they’re more than I can afford, but not so much more I wouldn’t consider spinning the chamber and pulling the trigger jusssssst this once. What can go wrong

@CB Two words: Rally Fighter.
‘69 Renault 16
‘67 MGB GT
‘74 Solex 3800
‘77 Puch Maxi -
@amoore100 I know a guy who has at least two of those Panhard 24s. They have such a nice design and IMO are one of the best looking Panhards (along with the CD).

Glenn Pray/Classic Factory/Elegant Motors Auburn 852 replica (as seen in many malaise & rad era TV/film/music video productions)
Infiniti M30
Saturn Ion Redline Quad CoupeAll 3 I see appreciating considerably, and yet are unwanted/unloved now.

What would be the "if I had fuck it money" car for your garage? Something that meets none of your needs, would be a burden to live with, and would be something you solely buy because you want it and have a basically unlimited budget? Say you won the lottery, or got all that sweet sweet Nigerian prince money.
04-06 Ford GT or possibly a 2017 Viper ACR.

@1969r16 Sat in one of those. Totally ridiculous.

@CB How much money are we talking? If it's regular FU car money probably a C6 ZR1.
If it's legit FU money then a Koenigsegg Agera
If it's Bezos or Musk level money I wouldn't buy the cars, I would buy a bunch of land and build a race track for all the people to enjoy driving on

@CB I’ve told my boss he would know I’d suddenly came into screw you money because I’d show up to work driving one of these.
For sheer absurdity it’s hard to beat a 1915 fire truck that’s been cut up and turned into a two seat speedster.
In case the size of the driver doesn’t give you a good idea of how huge these are; those are 37” tall tires
For extra impracticality it’s powered by a 14.5 liter inline 6.If you’re wondering why I’d still work that’s an easy answer. I’d only keep working for six months or so, but the pranks and crew lunches that would happen in that time frame would live on in legend long after I’m gone.

@CB A classic AND a modern Renault Alpine A110...or a plethora of classic 360cc and 500cc Japanese kei cars from the 60s and 70s...

@CB Full on FU money for something I don't need, doesn't serve me well and will be a nightmare to own and maintain? Oh, fuck yeah! I know what I'm getting...
one of the 3(?) Alfa Romeo 155 DTM cars converted to street-legal spec by crazy Germans (I believe this basically involves installing compliant lights, a quieter muffler, street-legal tires, and generating/affixing a VIN... Or maybe they get the VIN by splicing in bits of a regular 155?). Sure, it's AWD, but it's got about 1.5 inchs of ground clearance, needs 100 octane race gas, has totally unobtanium engineeverything parts, you need to wear a helmet when you drive it (roll cage), entry and exit is a gymnastic event (it may have opening doors, but remember that roll/crash structure?), and it's Italian! I mean, I guess it's not totaly impractical, even though the trunk is full of fuel cell, the space usually occupied by the rear seats is empty, so it should actually accommodate a long trip's worth of luggage or an expedition to Costco...Perfect.

@CB Caterham
-
@CB I'd go for a Lancia Delta S4 Stradale (probably upsettingly fragile and parts are almost certainly pure unobtanium):
Or, being ever so slightly more practical, a Bentley Continental GT:
-
The Bentley Brooklands has always been the "first car I buy when I win the lottery" car.
Preferably black or BRG with camel interior. There's many others on my list, but this is the one I'd buy first.
