Weird Car Lusts, and the Maserati Biturbo

Most car enthusiasts I know spend a  lot of time dreaming or lusting after cars that they don't own. Sometimes this manifests in a long term desire for one particular type of car which results in ownership and either happiness or heartbreak. Other times this is a short term deal possibly triggered by an article in a magazine or spotting a particular car in the street. For me when this happens a few days are spent pouring the internet and car magazines for information about said car, scouring the classifieds (usually Autotrader or Pistonheads) and after a few days forgetting about the whole thing and going onto something else.

One Million Pound Car list

What cars would you buy if you had a million pounds to spend on cars? The question came up over lunch last Sunday, prompted by a discussion on the recent large wins on the Euro millions. You would think it would be an easy question to answer but then I realised that many of my dream cars for example the Mclaren F1, Ferrari 275 Nart Spyder or Alfa 2900 would cost considerably more than that even in today's recessionary climate.
