Actual Fleet comprises; Morgan 4/4 sport (Pride & joy. Daily transport whenever suitable), TVR S2 (former p&j - must get around to selling it), Volvo V70 (for long journeys/going skiing/my winter wheels), MINI Cooper D (wife's car).

Ideal fleet; M3W (for going in to work, fun and local blasts), Aeromax (for touring, high days & holidays & for admiring), Range Rover TDV8 (for long trips/going skiing/winter car), MINI Cooper S Convertible (for wife). I'd also like to add a veteran car - 1904 cadillac say, for doing the London to Brighton and a 30's tourer, an Alvis Speed 25 or a Derby Bentley and an e type jag coupé - Series 1 4.2 litre of course.

I'm not unhappy with the current fleet and unfortunately am constrained both by space and cash. I would definitely buy a Rangie except it won't fit in my car parking space at work & would be touch and go down the alley to our house. I'm very happy with my 4/4, but I do hanker after a 3 wheeler. But then I wouldn't want the M3W as my only Mog, hence the Aeromax for longer distances. The Mini we bought as a car for my kids to learn to drive in, so when it's replaced it'll be with another MINI, but almost certainly for one with more oomph and convertible (like your wife Boshers, mine adores her MINI and doesn't want anything else). The classic cars ? Well, they're just pure self indulgence, and I would have to move house to a place with a sufficiently large motor house....
