I'm thinking of buying a new car, but I can't decide what to get. Confused

Any suggestions?

The Peel p.50.

Watching Jeremy Clarkson road test it on Top Gear is some funny TV!

Good Lord, that video is hysterical!

Jeremy Clarkson didn't just "road test" the Peel P50, he crosswalk tested it, hallway tested it, elevator tested it . . . and then he pulled it up to a conference table and sat in it during a board meeting! Laughing

I've seen quite a few of the cars on the list, probably 9.

Of all the cars, the one I would LOVE to own is the Citroen DS. I love those cars. Very different, very French.

This has been my "dream car" since I saw it in the 1959 movie It Started With a Kiss. Several years later they turned it into the Batmobile.

Sacrilege! Shocked

Thats from the real show car era!

Love the Futura and love the canopy's. Though it would be hard to rainproof them.

If the Futura had to be converted, at least it was converted into the best Batmobile ever!
