I’m not talking about the super rich who can afford an Ferrari or a McLaren, I am talking about the every day F1 fan with bills to pay, and maybe a family to support.

Obviously if you are a Ferrari fan you could buy an Fiat 500 Abarth, of if your a Honda McLaren fan, you could go with a Honda Civic SI. But thinking out side of the box, what would you choose?

Mondial 3.2 is always the answer

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > Jay_Hoff 04/09/2015 at 13:33

Always liked these, wonder how bad maintenance cost are on old Mercs.

There's this for Micheal Schumacher fans: Fiat Seicento Micheal Schumacher Limited Edition. No I wouldn't choose it.

I would happily drive this if they sold it here. Put a couple Ferrari crests on the fenders and call it good.

Fiat Panda 100hp

AW11 MR2 with a rebuilt and well tuned suspension and good tires. Obviously no F1 heritage and I've never driven an aero car before, but I've never driven a car with turn-in like this.

'83 Renault Alliance or similar, one of the last Renaults sold in the land of the freeish. It'll be just about as reliable as the Renault power plant was in Melborne this year.

Just look at that baby, in all its 60hp glory.

You are most welcome, sir. I actually know a guy in Memphis, TN (home of the world's best BBQ-we don't have to shout about it like Kansas City and all of Texas) who owns a seriously good performance oriented mechanic's shop and he DD's a green one during the nice weather summer and spring days, he has a early edition yellow Gallardo for the bad weather days. Cool dude, super down to earth, his license plate on the Lambo is HOODRICH. lol

That's one hell of a two car garage. I got to do 3 laps round a track in an Atom (best Christmas gift ever) and I've never driven a car since that comes close to being as entertaining. If I ever came into some money I'd definitely want to own one.

I would save up for a 12C, but that is for me. different strokes....

The 12c would certainly be more comfortable and usable in the rain.
