Quite an interesting video, one I can certainly relate to (albeit not so much the "youtube presenting"!).

I like many on here have a fondness for a bit of power, but modern supercars don't do a huge amount for me. I fell in love with the 80s/90s cars, and the older I get the more I appreciate cars like the Muira and Ferrari Daytona. I will however make an exception for the Veyron and Pagani's, the Veyron for what it represents and the incredible engineering, and the Pagani for the wow of its interior and the noise. It is highly unlikely I will ever have the means to purchase one however! laugh2 More realistically if I was in the market for a "normalish car" in the supercar catergory I would take an Aston over a McLaren, or even a nice AMG Mercedes Estate for something practical and fun.

I do quite fancy trying a Tesla after having one for a few days, I found the effortless driving, comfort and power quite nice - so I could certainly see myself with something like that to whittle away the miles.

For something special though I really do find a Morgan hard to beat, the mix of art deco and 30s styling, the craftsmanship and coachbuilt nature of it just appeal to my inner child and perhaps even inner caveman, like a warm fire does it just lights up something special inside.

I was lucky enough that Richard Hammond did one of the best Top Gear review segments ever in my opinion, on the GTN. The weather and filters made it look menacing, the music, his genuine love of it and the iconic quotes and references, and then the noise... together it made a really rather special piece of television, and the car just happened to be centre stage.

I must admit I still pinch myself a little, when I go in and see it - the only thing I haven't done yet is drive it due to the weather, its going to be a long few months till spring...
