If you were awarded a three-car collection and given the choice of any three automobiles from any manufacturer and time-period, which vehicles would you choose? (please post pics of your 3-vehicle dream-collection, and briefly explain your choices.)

Mercedes Gullwing
Jaguar XKE V12 Convertible
Citroen DS19

That last one was weird, eh?:grinyes:

Nice selection, but you forgot to post pics and explain why you'd choose those cars!

First I'd choose a Hummer H1 (but military Humvee-spec) for going off-road, carrying people/stuff, towing a boat/jet-skis/trailer, traveling, and getting the "practicle vehicle" choice outta the way.

Then, I'd choose the 2002 RX-7 Spirit-R (the last and most powerful of the RX-7's) as a weekend sportscar, collector's peice, track-car.

Finally, the pride of my collection would be Mazda's LeMans-winning 787B race-car (the 4-rotor slayer of Ferrari,Porche,BMW,Honda,McLaren,Bugatti,etc., which if I'm not mistaken was outlawed by the LeMans-committee because of its dominance).

Well.....

I like cars that stood out in their time, for instance

The Mercedes 300SL Gullwing was Mercedes at it best. A work of art:p

What can I say. I'm a sucker for a lovely French girl.:p

^You have good tastes.

1. mk4 toyota supra because ive always loveed this car ever since i first saw it, id love to get one an build it for alot of power.

2. noble m12 just cause this an awesome car.

3. 94-99 celica gt-4. im mad that they were never offered in the states and i want one just because of its rarity and rally dominance.

sorry no pics im on a dialup connection.

These are always tough for me because its hard to narrow it down...

Daily Driver- BMW E60 M5, black on black, HUD, side adjustable seats. I was tempted to say Maserati Quattroporte, but the M5 really is the best sedan made by anyone today. Its the only car out of these three that I've driven (yet) and it is simply amazing.

Weekend Driver- Ferrari F430, red. From everything I've heard, this is the greatest non F40, F50, Enzo car Ferrari has ever made. It is usable enough to be driven regularly, but is also simply a blast to drive.

Track Car- well.... what could beat a Mazda 787B?
http://www.grandprix.com/jpeg/misc/ferrari04launch2-rg.jpg

Michael Schumacher's F2004 F1 car. This car has more wins in one season then any other car (I think) and brought Schumacher his latest championship. It also holds many lap records. Beat that.

I'd want to figure out some way to make a high-end race car street-legal. I think I'd pick an Audi R8 or R10 (diesel) as my "sporty" car, scaled back a lot for the rigors of daily driving. Audi's wide dominance in Le Mans is just insane, and I happen to like the styling of the R10.

For my ultimate track car, I'd pick a Ferrari F1 car... not because they're the fastest, but to keep Ferrari from using them themselves! It's almost not even fair what kind of money Ferrari spends on their cars that few other teams have to use. If not for that reason, I'd go with a Renault F1. It has buckets of torque.

My third car would be a Lotus Exige. It handles very well, gets good gas milage, and if anything breaks, it's loaded with Toyota parts.

Good choices but you forgot the damn PICS!!!!! :D
