I've not long got back from my holidays. It's a long time since I've actually managed to go abroad, and for my first foray into foreign climes since the 1990s, I chose Greece as my destination. As the trip grew closer, I got more and more excited, but also a little nervous - would I be nervous on the plane? What would the food be like? Would I be stopped at customs so a man could put his hand up my bottom?

The answers, in case you're wondering, were no, delicious and thankfully not.

But I think the thing I was most curious about was what I was going to find on the roads. Greece, after all, has been suffering particular hardship during the economic crisis, so I didn't expect to find the place gridlocked with Lamborghinis. I'd also chosen to stay in a tiny town called Parga, which has a population of not quite 4,000 people and sits nestled within acres of olive groves at the edge of the Ionian Sea.

I think someone with pots of cash needs to bring Pegaso back.

They'd have two options. Either bring them back in the supercar game (been attempted many times with limited success), or try something different.

I vote they make something in-between the F-Type and the Eagle Speedster. Supercharged I6 engine, pared down classic style, achingly beautiful.

Hell, just making new Z-102s would be excellent (a la Pur Sang).
