Seems like everyone has that next purchase on their radar. What's yours? I realize it's not that old, but I'd still love an E46-chassis BMW M3.

So true! For me, I'm hoping to wrap up my current 3+ year Japanese car build and get into a LBC..

I've never had a British car before, but several years ago I saw a finned Sunbeam Alpine for the first time, and it's been heavy on my mind ever since (I don't care about the Get Smart jokes or "It's a girls car"... it's got great lines and for some reason just works for me).. As is always the case, I've got to wrap up a few of the current projects before I drag one home, but it's getting closer- and my wife is softening to the idea

Currently being tempted by TII RX7s, although I'm currently debating if I forget about road cars for a while and just get an old, uncompetitive sports racer instead.

Peugeot 505 wagon. Just spotted one sitting in a driveway today so I'll have to stop by to drop a note soon.

I plan on selling the Mustang as soon as I get a couple things done on it and then hunting for a 911.

Volvo 122. In Ontario, finding a reasonably rust free car is akin to Unicorn hunting.

I want to meld the 122 with a Miata suspension and a 302 drive-train.

Okay, I'll bite. My radar casts a large net and includes: --Nationalities: French car, an Eastern-bloc car, and/or a Dutch car. --Styles and eras: Brass-era car, anything really boxy or ugly, and a 1920s large touring car. --Specific cars: Lotus Elan and/or Espirit, VW Bus, 1983-84 Rabbit GTI

That's probably enough for now...

I need one of the following and will have in the next 2 years.

or I may build an early corvair with a porsche 3.2. We already have the 66 with the rear LS1, so this makes sense :)

I've seen 2 Esprits on the Yahoo list come up recently that were pretty interesting: A S4s for ~18K needing paint and some interior work and a 99, I think, V8 that was repaired by Guy to better than new after a crash and dash electrical fire for 23K. I've done the Esprit thing, so I'll pass those on. Either, I think, were a bargain and I would lean to the S4s as the ultimate Esprit.

For me it's a RWA Midget set up for vintage racing. I'd love a bugeye but they are just out of my budget.

I'd purge all MG belongings for the right vintage Mini.

Shoot, I just passed up a pretty clean 122S Volvo for 2500 at the last swap meet I was at.

Next on my radar is a convertible. Just haven't decided which one.

Well, it's not a girls car, but girls like them!

I love the looks of the Alpine, especially in race trim.
