Not strictly retro....but it would have to be.....  I've had two of them and regret ever selling them.... Now I can understand that and this is my current daily drive but it definately doesn't fit into a car for everything - well not what I like to do with cars anyway  |

Boring, predictable, not even vaguely daring ... but I don't care.  (Professionals photo is entirely deliberate ... accidental) |

In my experience, probably something reliable comfortable and quick enough, a bit like my old Xedos 9   |

If you don't have options, quality is irrelevant. If I had to have one car for the rest of my life, I would soon hate it, and loose all interest in cars completely. Doesn't matter what it was, I would soon hate it.
That said.. I'd need something big enough to carry motorbikes around in..

Ditto. Although I really couldn't keep my spanners off it for long I don't think! |

Doesn't matter what it was, I would soon hate it. With you there. I couldn't live without 2CVs in my life but when faced with using one as my sole car, it takes a few weeks before I've had enough! In fact, it did so I bought the Merc. Polar opposites and perfect companions. |

 Just nudges ahead of an RS4 Avant by virtue of the attitude it has....... |

I'd have to choose a bmw, I recon the right one could actualy last you a lifetime ;D Practical, comfy, fast & deadly reliable.
Probably a 5 series touring with a nice big engine, that would suit my lifestyle pretty well.
