Think you probably know a few of mine Kev

Series 1 E Type Jag i BRG with colour coded Wires , running BMW or TVR straigt 6 with handling n stoppers to match

Classic Mini , you can now get subframes to fit the bike engines in the front , and weve all seen Z cars minis , so 2x Busa Turbo engines circa 400bhp - so an 800bhp mini please

there are 100s more but those would be the first on the list

Good call on the 2002 - though id go for some small rims from the image catologue

I'd buy a disused airfield and fill the hangers with Porsches and Rangerovers etc, then tune them up, nice sets of wheels, superchargers retrims etc. Then in another hanger I would have a collection of classics, Delta Integrale, GT4, Evo's of all eras, RS500s in all colours available at the time. All the other Cosworths, R5 gordini, Audi Quattro UR turbo etc.
Then every so often I would hold shows and qtr mile events etc.
