Dream car

Post by stitch626 »

So what is your dream car. The rules are it must be a production car, as in one you could buy from a dealership at some point of time. If you want a Model-T, no problem. But no Batmobels and no Rocket cars. And please provide pics... not everyone knows a car from its name.



As for mine... the '87 Porsche 959.

I love this car. If it were a woman... well, I still wouldn't marry her. But thats just me.
If I could only afford it.

And here's the wiki page for it.

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Nice. I saw one of those yesterday, wouldn't mind one. Good size. Though I couldn't do without an AC.

Oops, got that on the car. I'll clean it.


Sorry, that was a close second. As were 12 other Porsches.

Teaos - A friend of mine owned one with a two-burner stove, sink and bed in the back. Sheer awesome.

This is a tough one for me.

For fun: Maxximus G-Force and specs.

Interesting. Though, only for fun. Would be nice to laugh at the guys with the "suped-up" Honda Civics. I wonder what the top speed is...

In absolutely honesty, i dislike the concept of massively powerful fast cars. I would like something that literally hugs me like an armchair. A type of Jag I would say.

Maybe A Jaguar XK

Image

I quite like the BMW 6 series as well...

But since neither of these are likely to happen, I look to something far more practical and small for european roads. Fiat 500!

That Jag is just sex on wheels.

Exactly why i like it. I watched the Top Gear review, and have seen a distant relative with one. I would almost die to have an engine note like that.

Always wanted a VW Beetle - the original, not the Golf in another shell :)

I love the VW Vans as well.

Dunno why, but I loved the Ford Synus concept car :-

My dad had a VW beetle, 1.5 litre in a horribly dull yellow. He loved it more than any other car, barring his current Ford Focus (european version).
