My favourite subject! Of course, I love cars. My primary business is not just something that I do, it's something that I love to do. As well as selling them, I have a passion for cars, new, classic, individual, custom or just downright cheesy. Yes, you'll see!
I thought I'd do something different. I could just point you to my website in a shameless plug to see a lot of nice cars, but seeing as this is a fun site and not a corporate sell out to try and get you to buy something from me, the following links will take you to pages within this site, although I have picked out a select few pages at the bottom which are different and not trying to get you to buy something. You'll see.
The pages that you will view will be my Dream Car Garage.
My dream car garage is made up of a collection of cars that I hold dear to me and that one day I would like to own in my own private collection. Of course, I don't want to own a bunch of cars that I can just look at sitting in the barn I would have to have to house them, I would want to drive them. So what are these cars? Here they are...
|
Ferrari F430 F1 Spider - Every boy's dream is to own a Ferrari. Personally, red is going out of favour for me and I would have one in this colour, Grigio Silverstone with the Tan Leather interior. What a fabulous Car and of course, very predictable. more>> |
| |
|
|
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S - I would find this a very hard decision. Choose between the Vanquish and the F430. To me they have similar appeal, but different qualities. This is a car I have wanted ever since I was lucky enough to drive one about 3 years ago. more>> |

|
Maybach Exelero - Not yet in production, the German made car is from the same stable as Mercedes. I love German Cars, I think they are probably the best cars in the World, and this one, if it ever goes into production, it would be the meanest sight on the road. more>> |
| |
|
|
Bugatti Veyron - The World's fastest production road vehicle. But isn't it beautiful? The raw power of this car is awesome, like nothing ever seen. If it were in a race with a McLaren F1 to 230mph the McLaren can go before the Bugatti driver even gets into the car. It's quick. more>> |

|
|
Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works - You might wonder why. Basically I saw this car at the motor show being driven by legendary precision driver [insert]. I was amazed at this car and being the John Cooper Works car, it makes the good even better. This is the sort of car I can drive down the lanes and have fun with. more>> |
| |
|
|
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S - This would be the family car. I drove a Cayenne Turbo once and before hand I wasn't convinced, but the road holding, driveability and sheer power of this car wins hands down over any other SUV. Yes, I know, it's fugly, but I can over look the lack of beauty for raw power, as long as it's Cobalt Blue with Grey Leather! more>> |
| |
|
|
Dodge Magnum SRT-8 - I love this American monstrosity. I know I'm contradicting myself, but it just has a look that's kind of unique. You get the practicality of an estate with 8 tenths of a Viper engine. It's just a total nutter of a car and I'd use it as my daily driver to go to the office and back. more>> |
| |
|
|
Dodge Ram 3500 Dually - Everyone needs a workhorse. I'd have one of these because of it's sheer size and the ability to haul anything. It must be the biggest vehicle you can drive without having to have an HGV license! more>> |
| |
|
|
Mercedes S63 AMG - For when I have to drive a long way. Everyone needs comfort, but with this car, it gives you comfort, speed and is like driving an armchair. more>> |
| |
|

|
|
Ford Escort Cosworth - I've loved these cars ever since they were introduced. I was lucky enough to drive one when I was about 19-20 and since then I've wanted one. With better cars on the market, I would try and find one that is unmolested and keep it in my collection. more>> |
| |
|
|
Lotus Carlton - I've never been a fan of Lotus cars, but when they make over an executive bus like this, it's special. Another feat to find something unmolested, but I would love to own one. more>> |
| |
|
|
Audi Quattro Coupé - An ex-girlfriend actually owned a 2.0 2 wheel drive version of this car and it was fantastic fun to drive. I thoroughly enjoyed it even more than the Jaguar I had at the time. The four wheel drive was still ahead of it's time at the end of the 80's, early 90's and still an icon. more>> |

Ever since I was small, I had an affair with Ford cars. I had a scalextric and the first cars I ever had for it were the Ford Escort Mk1 & 2. My first car, well, the first legal car I ever had was the Ford Escort Mk2. It was all original and I modified it myself, changed the engine, gearbox, the total look of the car and had the RS2000 wheels etc. It was the best car I've had fun wise and wish I still had it!
I love all the early Ford Escorts, right upto the last model they built. My first car was a Capri which I also loved, but I sold on at a profit to a college friend. I actually nearly lost my life in a Mk2 Escort which I bought from my best friend. Nightmare eh?

|
Ford Escort Mk1 RS1600 - This car, in my opinion was ahead of it's time design wise. How many cars were as rounded as this? can you imagine if Ford actually brought out a replacement now, with their geometric shapes? It would be crap, but if they stayed true to the design of this, it would be truly spectacular. more>> |
| |
|
|
Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000 - This car looks great in white, I must admit. The blue stripes set it off nicely and I'd be proud to own one of these. Most of these have been used and abused on the Rally curcuit, but what a great car! more>> |
| |
|
|
Ford Escort Mk2 RS1800 - Another white car, but even so, I'd have it in any colour and it looks great to me in orange. These cars just bring back childhood memories and my dreams had not yet progressed to Ferrari at that point, and the Escorts were just something that was so within my reach. more>> |
| |
|
|
Ford Escort MK2 RS2000 - With the original nosecone, these things looked mean and stuck out like a sore thumb. In it's day it was a monster on the road and commanded the presence ahead of the pack. Many celebrities owned the RS2000 and it became an icon of the 70's and still today these can be seen powering around the streets, albeit, not at all a common sight. more>> |
| |
|
|
Ford Capri RS3100 - This car is a total star to me. The 3.1 litre engine was a monster and a lot of these were replaced with the V8 rather than the Essex V6, but the original car is just amazing to look at and fun with that twitchy rear end, even if it does have an LSD. more>> |
| |
|
|
Ford Capri 2.8i - The original Dagenham Dustbin. Every medallion man in the 80's had one of these. I remember sitting in one for the first time and thought it was the most amazing car. As you can tell, I love the old Fords, especially the RS series, but the Capri was one of those cars that I loved. more>> |
| |
|
|
Lotus Cortina Mk2 - The only white car I would ever own! There's nothing like the Mark 2 Cortina, but with the twin cam Lotus Engine in it and the green stripe down the side, just says pure brilliance to me. The rear lights are the star of the mark2 for me. I'm not really into intricate design points, but this Cortina is work of art. more>> |

VW Microbus/Combi - Once upon a time, myself and a mate were going to buy one of these to restore and then tour Europe in it, but it never happened. I love the old VW Combi and I once saw one with a Golf GTi engine in it. This thing was amazing and that's the sort of thing I would like to do as the aircooled units will only get you towed in by the AA! more>> |

|
|
1969 Dodge Charger RT - I'm a big kid at heart! I loved the Dukes of Hazard when I was a kid and have always wanted a General Lee. Recently I have found a supplier of these cars, there is a pair of guys who buy up old Chargers and restore them to the original specification of the General Lee. They are doing massive business and I want one! more>> |
| |
|
|
1939 Ford Coupé Custom - I've always loved custom cars and hot rods, and this one looks stunning. I'm not a big fan of red cars, but this one looks amazing and it's the sort of car that I would like to drive just for the fun of it. more>> |

Harley Davidson Chopper Trike - I've never been a biker, but the thrill of it excites me. I failed my bike test 3 times and on the last go, I was ready to give up. My friend gave me the keys to his ZXR750 and told me to take my test again. I took it for a ride, his intention being it would excite me and want to go back and take my test. After telling me not to come back if I crashed it, I took it for a spin. After a gentle ride up the village, I got out onto a straight road and took it to 160mph before I knew it. i took the bike back, shaking and thrilled from my ride and told him that was the last time I go on a crotch rocket as I'd be dead in the space of a week if I had one. more>> |

Mercedes Benz 300SL Gull wing - A seminal classic and an icon of the 50's. The 300SL stands head and shoulders above many other classics with it's revolutionary doors. A much loved classic car I would love to have in my collection, even though I'm a bit too tall to get into it! more>> |
| |
|
|
Ferrari 250 GTO - I doubt I'll ever be lucky enough to own one, given the price tag of £16,000,000 Yes, you read it right, 16 Million pounds! Mr. Nick Mason has one and it's beautiful. I'll settle for a 250 GT, like the one in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. more>> |
| |
|
|
Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 - Inspector Morse lives on... John Thaw would be proud of me. I love the old Jags, they are just the quintessential British classic marque. This is the first Jag I would have in my collection, right alongside the other Jags.. more>> |

The Italian Job
The original 1969 film starring Michael Caine and Noel Coward is my number 1 film of all time. I love the movie, I love the cast, I love the cars. I had a friend once who was one of the stunt drivers in Rémy Julienne's team who drove the minis. In fact, John helped me achieve an ambition of mine a few years ago.
The red white and blue minis would be a very integral part of my car collection as would the Aston DB4 and Lamborghini Miura. These cars would be my most treasured automotive possessions.
|
| |
|
|
Jaguar E-Type Convertible - Of course! I'm predictable, but this is the first of a few cars that would grace my collection which are inspired by my favourite film of all time. The Italian Job. The first of the 'three fast cars' that went off the side of the cliff, ok, the first of the two, as there were two E-types. more>> |
| |
|
|
Aston Martin DB4 Convertible - Charlie Croker's car in The Italian Job. The actual car didn't get crushed and thrown over the cliff, don't worry! I would love the original car, but I think it's too much to ask! more>> |
| |
|
|
Lamborghini Miura - The car from the opening sequence before it meets the Caterpillar in the tunnel over the Alps. Beckermann was killed to the tune of Matt Munro - On days like these... awww... The car was wrecked too. Shame. I want one! more>> |
| |
|
|
Mini Cooper x 3 - Oh yes, three, in red, white and blue.... of course! All of Sir Alec Issigonis's creations, all with the three spotlights and the maglight wheels. Totally restored and recreated from the movie. Yes, I'm a sap, what of it!?!? more>> |
