    Default Anybody have cars as toys?

    The MINI joined the family a couple of months ago. Now the problem is deciding which one to drive when I feel the urge to challenge the twisties. Kinda like having two favorite cues!

    My choice would still be the BMW. I drove a 745i for a few months and they are just such solid cars. Every inch of a BMW is built with superior construction quality in mind. My girlfriends father has a Mini himself. While they too are fun cars, it is still not a BMW!!!!

    Congrats on the addition Nick! Wonderful pics! Do feel free to let us know how she handles when ya hit the S!

    Does a previous owner of a Fiero count? *snickers*

    Oh yeah, I guess I could kinda say yes for having cars as toys.

    Not so much in my old age now. And now that I have the money to spend on such things, I find myself not wanting to spend it on cars. I used to build show cars ranging anywhere from 50k to 300k in value. They were however, always for other people!!! At the time I always told myself when I had the money it would be my turn. Now I have the money, but don't wanna spend it yet...

    I think I am holding out for the time to do a ground up on a 67 Camaro...

    I think actually besides the Camaro, I would like to have a Lotus Esprit Turbo. I drove one around a bit, years ago when I was finishing up some custom work for a friend. The car just suits me well.. Cool thing is they are not expensive at all considering...
