    If there would be no stupid tax, then 100% I would be now driving something like this:

    the thing is, if tax and fuel werent so expensive, these cars wouldnt be going for the pocket change that they are...

    If petrol was free I'd still drive my current car, a Dacia Logan MCV. 4.5l/100km. Leave as much fuel for the future generations as possible!

    Yawn!!
    Its supposed to be a bit of fun...

    Fair 'nuff on the petrol front but you'd get classic tax on that. :p

    Petrol and tax not an issue? I think I'd still drive me 406.... Maybe a V6 one for the shneer :)

    An 037 or Delta S4 would be a must though!

    Is this a Dream car thread or a real world option if tax or petrol would not be crippling? :confused::confused::confused:

    At least I picked two cars that are affordable at the moment but the high tax pervents me from buying

    That's what I was aiming at too. I did linked alpina picture, but I was more aiming at 740. 4 door gtt is not very exotic and expensive too. Some people really got wild here, or people earn a lot more then I think lol.

    I came close enough with the 735 I sold in December and the Trans Am I currently have for sale. Ideally I would go for an M5 or RS6 and a Mustang Boss 429. ;)

    A fine machine. €1683 in tax is just a joke for a 10 year old car. Surely the state has made enough money off this vehicle after VAT VRT Road Tax in its 10 years of motoring to reduce the tax liability. What would be wrong with, say classing it as a 2.0L anc charging €800 odd for it.

    Now folks there's my rant. Sorry for going slightly off topic but the tax system in Ireland is a joke.

    Now that's what I call a nice car. A good candidate for an LPG conversion..Tax would be hard to stomach though...

    I get 28mpg and pay 2k per annum road tax, bummer! At least with the petrol I get something for it, don't start me on the tax. But hey, it's my choice. Not everyones cup of tea, but 4litres, lots of toys, super comfortable and still current IMHO.

    Fuel isn't an issue for me as i do feck all milage maybe 8000 a year and i am currently paying 2.6 tax so i am kinda in pretty deep as it is, settled on my car because i didn't want to go back too far in years and i wanted something affordable to fix in terms of parts or i would have went older luxobarge.

    Classic Insurance/tax 300zx would be nice mind :)

    But if we are just talking lala land then.

    Sorry, it's only the price of petrol and tax - not the price of the car itself :D

    Just thought it would be interesting to see what people are currently driving, and what they would be driving if petrol and tax wasn't an issue..

    Yet another bmw thread :rolleyes::cool:

    I drive an E60 530i.
    Tax and petrol are not an issue, I'd drive a 550i - lack of em on the market is more the issue, plus getting insured with only 3 years NCB

    An E60 M5, if the tank wasn't so small

    An F10 M5, when they get to acceptable price levels... apparently they can do 22 mpg around town (I'm averaging 18 atm) - petrol prices not an issue, tank size is...
