  • 1 carbon-fibre bicycle with curvaceous design - lightweight and beautiful - no fossil fuel required.
    3 camels, 1 to ride, 2 to carry horse feed & shopping - don't shy at traffic, no fossil fuel required.
    4 brahmin bullocks - able to pull any load, slash paddocks, plough fields - no fossil fuel required
    1 hot air balloon - see the world - solar powered? well, might pay for it to be invented. 1 ocean going catamaran with sails and crew - you know why... :)

    1. A yellow van (preferably one made in the late 1960s) with the number 271 on the registration plate. I have yet to see a yellow van with that number on it. I've seen various other vehicles with 271 in the registrations and yellow vans with other numbers on them, but never a yellow van with 271 on it.

    2. A 1968 Ford Zodiac, or some other similar car made in 1968.

    3. A caravan made in 1968. This of course could be towed by the 1968 Ford Zodiac.

    4. A 1968 open-topped double-decker bus. I could use this to take people on mystery tours, I'm sure it would make lots of money.

    5. A 1968 Merryweather fire engine in case of emergency.

    Vehicles sweetie? These are them? Don't camels spit? I've read that they are very nasty creatures. Ever ridden one? Looks like a rough ride at the best of times. I had to look up "bullock" hartfire. A castrated bull? Why? Oh. You don't want them to be wanton and promiscuous in their search for LOVE! Sounds kinda like bollocks which is a word  the Brits sometimes use  meaning nonsense or rubbish methinks. A hot air balloon wouldn't work for me because I'm afraid of heights as you know. I've been on a cat and boy oh boy do they ever go FAST!  That I could do, wearing a life jacket at all times of course.    The bike sounds fine except that I have had osteoporosis which is now osteopenia which means I have easily breakable bones and if I should fall on the bike it could be troublesome. Very inventive and creative answer. I could join you on your cat. For the rest of them I would stand on the sidelines and wave as I watch you!  :)

    That is a very eclectic mix my friend. VERY! I've ridden on a two-decker bus before in the states. They are da bomb! They are the best! I pictured you having sleeker things...you know, like an Aston-Martin  a la James Bond? Thank you for your thoughtful and unique answer  AndyB and Happy Sunday to thee. Oh I need some feedback from you honey. Does bollocks means rubbish/nonsense? How do you use the word? :)

    A 4-door sedan for everyday use because it's my favorite type of car.
    A 2-door luxury sedan for evenings out.
    A jeep for weekend fun.
    A large pickup truck for its hauling capability.
    A motorcycle because I've still never learned to ride them.

    My mind is not free to indulge in such a fantasy.  I owe too many bills, my mind will not wander 

    in that direction.  I'm a live in the moment kind of person, satisfied with my vehicle for now.

    Good morning Rosie...

    oooh, a fantasy question...

    1. 1957 Ferrari 250 spyder California.

         Most would recognize this car from the movie Ferris Buellers day off

    2. 1948 Tucker, in Teal green

         I would want this for its historical significance.

    3.  the Nautilus car..

         Another movie car. the League of Extraordinary gentleman. Its big and beautiful, more of a piece of art than a car.

    4.  1953 GM Futurliner.

         This is a very unusual vehicle and would need a huge garage. It was a bus used in the "Parade of Progress" back in the 50's.

    5.  This would be a car that I once owned. It was a gorgeous 1970 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1 convertible.

         I restored this car myself, and it was perfect. Glacier white with black interior and top. This was the ultimate muscle car.

         I sold it to pay off some debt I accrued during a remodel of my house, still kickin myself over that one...

         If I had the means, I would find it and buy it back....

    These are just 5, if I were that rich, I would have many more.

    It has been my dream to retire from my current occupation and spend my time restoring classics...

    Have a great Sunday m'dear

    I don't see the need for more than one car, Rosie, so I chose one from my favourite era that wouldn't be too difficult to run. The caravan would be one that could be towed by the car. The bus would be to take people on mystery trips which could be a nice little earner. The yellow van was a reference to a song of that name which is sadly underrated (the number 271 being its release number on the Deram label). Finally, the fire engine would be there in case of fire. One never knows, there could be petrol leaks from all those vehicles and that would be a fire hazard. I like to be prepared in case of emergency.

    The word "bollocks" is mainly a vulgar term for the testicles, but it is also used as a vulgar term for rubbish or nonsense. What made you ask me about a word like that, Rosie? Happy Sunday! :)

    Now, here is the criminally underrated Yellow Van song which I represented in my first choice of vehicle:

    That's too bad. Imagination can get you through some really tough times. If yours isn't working or you refuse to use it then I don't know what to tell you. Good luck snd thank you for your reply.

    Nifty list sweetie. Mine would be a Lamborghini..any one. I love them all .Then an   XKE Jaguar.  Then a red Toyota truck. The smallest one. We had one which we called RoseyBelle in my honor. I loved her to pieces. Then a couple of Mercedes. I am a Mercedes gal! One would be a silvery blue with silver metal flakes and the other would be that  rich deep red that has a touch of blue! Any style. Thank you for indulging in fantasy with me des. Some folks are incapable of it and I feel so sorry for them! Happy Sunday! :) (9hugs))

     Oh the reason I asked is that on this same thread if you go to hartfire's reply you will see that one of her "vehicles" are bullocks . I looked it up and they are castrated bulls. I told her I thought bullocks sounded a lot like bollocks and then I looked that up too. So that's the why Andy. Please read her reply. I think you will find it amusing. It is very unique/creative/unusual. :)

    I don't want 5 vehicles.  I want one that works and I don't care what kind.  I am not a car fanatic.
