+1 on the Bently.  And a Nissan gtr.  Then a Ural patrol T. But that Bently is just awesome lookin in person.

Bentleys are OK, but it would be one of these two for me, probably the Lambo.

The big problem with cars like Lambos and Ferraris is that they are built to be be race cars.  The suspension is so tight that if you put any real street miles on them with potholes and such that they start to fall apart.

The Aston makes the Lambo look like a doorstop.

Why do you guys want 4 wheels? I'd get a Vincent Black Shadow, enough parts to keep it going forever, and maybe a BMW 2002 (on top of my '86 325) or a 635csi with plenty of gas for it. 

Or you can get an older bentley for (relative) spare change.
