Which backroom car would you like? - BobbyG
We have had numerous threads of favourite cars, cars you would buy if you won lottery etc, but from your knowledge of the backroom and its posters, whose car would you want?

I will start it off with Patently's 911..... , and I quite fancy a shot of midlifecrisis' company car....

I'd love to spend a day in Truckersunite's vehicle - a 42 tonner I imagine.

Just a day though...

Kev, I was wanting to find a whole thread that didn't mention that car!
Maybe the mods will edit your thread out (hint hint)

It would have to be either Adam's Focus, PU's BM 5 series or Patently's Porsche.

Dave?s 406 V6 with Orson?s XJS as a weekend car but I?d paint it in Union Jack like Austin Powers. Imagine driving that around Poland.

Actually, nearly everyone would have a Porsche and BM so my other choices would be,

Dave's 406 V6 (when he gets the sat nav working)

Al's 156 (no idea if he still has it or not)

RF's Laguna (because I could only hope to be as cool as the man himself and this would be the first stepping stone)

Yeah yeah. You sure it isn't a piece of paper stuck on your dash with cardboard cut out buttons and "Sat Nav" scrawled in crayon at the top?

It appears that you lot have forgotten that I have a Berlingo, otherwise I'm sure there would have been many votes for it. After all, I'm sure you all have plenty to take to the tip (and no, Adam, you needn't reply that if you had a Berlingo it would be the first thing you'd take to the tip!!)

Aw shucks Adam, Its nice to have a protege!

I would like to return the compliment, but a Mk1 Focus Saloon in Harvest Gold? Eyes, pins and stick immediately springs to mind.

(plus one has to maintain ones cool! - Remember the Cresta bear? thats me)

Which backroom car would you like? - Happy Blue!
I'm disappointed no-one has selected mine. What's wrong with a 4WD, turbo-charged, leather bound good riding Subaru?

Anyway - I'd certainly give PUs new beast a once over.

I think Pug's BMW would have to be towards the top of my list, and of course, Adam's Focus, it's the only FOcus on here that's more eye catching than mine. :-)

Aww shucks...!

I'm afraid the 911 isn't going to be for sale for quite some time. But I would like PU's 530d and plan to talk to the local BMW lot on Monday, in fact.

PU - if you're planning a sale in the near future then do let me know what spec you have!

Growler usually has an interesting choice.

No I do not mean two wheels.

Any car will do. But not whatever 'No FM2R' is driving. Unserviced etc. it would be a brave man that took it on :)
