Oh the J58's were not all that bad TK - reckon Pete could handle them better than most

 

I kinda like the fact that you need two Buick V8's to get one of them engines started.

Commuter practicality was clearly not a major concern.

Anyway, back on topic: from my teens and twenties,

1) Mk1 Escort BDA (the big guard one, that used to make that amazing noise in forestry special stages)

2) Shelby Cobra (good choice Shadow)

3) E-Type (of course)

4) MKII Jag 3.8 (slightly more practical than the E)

5) P5B Rover V8. (as befits a gentleman of my advancing years)

Damn, no room for an original Audi Quattro, just have to win Lotto again I guess.

 

and the topic in the saloon was ---- oh yeah top five (anything ? )

Lambo Raventon
Shelby AC Cobra
McLaren F1
Saleen F7
Koenigsegg CCR

 

The Shelby Cobra seems to be a popular choice amongst the old farts doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't pass the "Top Gear Rug Test" though, so we might just all be kidding ourselves.

 

D'you have 5 garages for your choices ?
It says top 5 not whether I have place to park it smarty..........
Besides you could park it anywhere you like - who'd try to steal it.............
with the price of gas today ?

BUT if you're insisting on 5 cars
E Type drophead 1965 (had the syncro box)
Lamborghini Diablo roadster
Lancia Delta Integrale
McLaren F1
Alfa Romeo Tipo 33

 

Reverse order there my friend.....but, I do like the list.

1-a blonde to go with a Hackercraft
2-any Hackercraft
3-cold brew to go with the Hackercraft
4-good weather and calm lake for a Hackercraft
5-plenty of fuel for a Hackercraft

 

uuuummmm beautiful mahogany classic style runabouts they are - can't fault your
taste there TBT

 

^ Have you ever heard of the Hackercraft Thunderbird? You can put this baby on the top of any #5 list and go from there.

Imagine adding No2 to those twin Allisons

 

On the subject of top 5 boats. Either of these would do.
