I'll build my own car! (Or get someone to do it for me). It'd have to be:

- Running on an alternative fuel. Electricity would be cool, then I could charge it at my house, which would be powered by solar panels or a windmill in my backyard.

- Comfortable. Roomy, and with some decent cargo space.

- Reasonably powerful. Should be able to keep up with and pass traffic atleast.

- Small-ish and light-ish. It would have to be constructed well to be small and roomy, but I'll get it done.

- Good looking. No outrageous stuff, just some decent curves and smooth lines.

theres a story i heard once..

this German businessman was driving his Macca to work every morning along the autobahn at about 200mph, but when he told his friends they, naturally, didnt believe him

now, in the Macca, you can hook it up to a phone line and it sends data to Mclaren HQ...

so this businessman did that, and sure enough - Mclaren confirmed that he was indeed driving to work at 200mph

Dream car?

A tank which has been remade with a process which uses CO2 as fuel. The tank can do 0-60 ~4s, it drives like a car (not sure how I'd pull that off) and I get to have live rounds in it. Oh, and there's a minibar in the back :D

Real car? That car with the 4 exhausts in the back arranged in a square with a circle of chrome around it. I forget the name, but it was a supercar on top gear and I drooled. Not a ferrari or lambo, but I can't remember what it was...

you know how the Veyron came about?

When VW brought Buggati, the dude in charge said that they would build a car that has 1000bhp and does 250mph...and then they realised they would actually have to do it once theyd said they would

so theyve spend the last 5 or 6 years trying to get it to happen - theyve had a huge number of problems...from getting a gearbox that would handle the tourque, from getting the car not to take off, brakes etc, they even got Michelin to spend a few years developing a tyre that could take the loads and still be safe...

it will be an incredible feat of engineering when they launch it
