Default Dream Drive

Ok, so if there was any car, road, track, space whatever any car on the planet that you would do almost anything to drive, even if only for a short blast on a track, what would it be?

Personally i would want to drive Ayrton Senna's 1993 F1 car.

For me it would be a porche 917, said to be the greatest race car of its day

Thank you. Voted one of the most beautiful cars ever crafted. And ever from America I'd say.

The now defunct Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg Motor Company is owned by a fan and owner of some. No intentions of reviving the brand... just likes pretending he's the president of car company. Lucky Bastard.

I'll be honest i really found it hard to put my Ford allegiance aside and instead of saying FPV GT 335 at Bathurst/Great Ocean road or Mustang on Route 66 or even an Escort Cossy twisting through san remo i went with this:



360 Modena


On this road in Romania

The things i would do to drive anything on that road. I would literally cream myself haha as Jeremy Clarkson put it "It's like every great corner, from every great race track in the world all linked together"
