Anyone who resurrects a 4 year old thread to recommend the DB9 is to be heartily congratulated in my opinion!

That would be my choice too. IMHO, the perfect balance of luxury, power, practicality and style. Plus have you seen the instrrument panel lit up on that thing! I would pay the £100K just for that alone!

Supertuned hypercars with 4 figure BHPs are fine in moderation, but if you have to pick just one car then I wouldn't like to be sitting in traffic in one every day!

Having been a Porsche fanboy since I discovered automobiles, my present dream car is a Porsche Carrera GT....

I concur. If you go to the POrsche site, you can get the walpapers in higher resolutions. I posted the 800x600 versions here.

this will make you cry though http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newpho...0123_003.shtml

Nah. Makes me laugh, actually.... The owner was obviously a dumbass to destroy a half-million dollar supercar. It looks like they tried to pull a DoH-style jump and trashed the rear suspension or somesuch....

unlimited?

I would take a very active part in having troy trepenia and chip foose build something along the lines of Sick Fish:
