    Nice ones!
    I'd like to add
    1969 Corvette and Ferrari F40 to the list.Both beutiful cars,F40 even more.If there was a car i'd like to drive outside of the straight roads (US,Australia) F40 will be one of the first in mind.Thought i dont like aerodinamic racetrack cars much.
    I'd like to own a Camaro SS or Shelby GT 500 67' one day or even a 1967' fastback.

    Everybody has posted all of mine.
    My first job was working in the parts for Caterham cars, so the Seven, would 'always ' be in my top 5, I then moved to a Ford RS dealers to finish my apprenticeship, where I brought for £200 and a Trio head unit a Mk1 1600 BDA rolling shell (from out of a barn) that I spent the next 7 years re-building and a load of money (I still have a Dave Mountain 2.1 pinto/steel cranked on 45's at my dad's and a full set of woods that I had in it until I got the right lump) so I think the Mk 1 & 2 RS type of escorts were the most fun you could have in a car. So that is in the top few.

    Talking about my dad's place as a kid I had Porsche 959, Audi Quattro Sport (most people never believe it has the same wheel base as a metro ! ) and a Lambo Miura (the only lamborghini worth having) as big posters up on my walls, and I think they are still there :) The Sierra cossie was the first car I ever did over twice the speed limit in, the early ones had real bad disks and would weave all over the place if you had to stamp on them at that speed, and after I got it chipped it took me aged to work out that the bang I got every time I put my foot down was the back wheels hitting the front of the wheel arch

    so as a top 7 in any order...

    Mk 1 & 2 RS type Escort (1600/1800 BDA's, Mexico's & Hunters and the RS 2000)
    Caterham 7
    Porsche 959
    Audi Quatro Sport
    Lambo Miura
    Ford GT 40
    Renault Turbo 2 ...has to be up there as real fun, I never met anyone that could not keep their head from hitting the headrest really hard every time you change gear, but its a Renault, they break down every 100 yards :)

    Guess you can say I'm an Alfa addict.. :D Alfisti is the correct term.. I own a Opel Rekord C from 1970 too, but that's just as a restore item..
