Your dream car

[nrvus]

Nice list mate thinking of giving Jay Leno a run for his money!

 

How do you find the Aston with that bland interior but perfect lines and power?

jay lenno likes newer stuff and I tell my pharang wife I am a value investor.

 

I was living in the UK around the time these  Astons came out. The looks blew me away. I spent a week driving it in UK last April and the power is great and surprisingly really sure and steady with roof down at 160k down M40. I left it in UK and will visit via LOS later in year.

 

I like the interior and the best shot I can come up with at short notice is one from the purchase inspection. Here it is.

I actually did win the lottery last month.

I  paid a deposit on a brand new Porsche.

On the weekend I posted  on my facebook page that I was looking forward to the new 911.

This morning I had 3000 new muslim friends!!

The Aston's are so aggressive looking with crazy engines but are a Gentleman's sports car. My pal lent me his DB7 when they had just come out. Have to say body was beautiful but dash so dated.

I'm sure you'd be right mate. I'm not really into loud US TV presenters, so don't really know much about the guy and was taking a stab based on the couple of times I had seen him on TV in relation to cars.

Yeh give me a veryon over any sierra lol

[SeaEmDee]

Ok this is right up my alley, dream cars? There are so many...in no particular order...<br /><br />Porsche 959<br />McLaren F1 GTR<br />Aston Martin One-77<br />Porsche 911 Carrera RS (70s model with the original duck tail)<br />Mercedes Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe (only 2 ever made, both belong to MB and are never to be sold)<br />Ford GT 40 (original)<br />BMW M3 (E30 first M3)<br />Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint 1600 GTA (original)<br />Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (from ca. 2007)<br />Lotus Cortina <br />Mercedes Benz E 500 (W124 body style ca. 1990s)<br />Citroen DS Convertible <br />Bentley S2 Coupe ('59 - '62)<br />Porsche Carrera GT (the one with the V10 engine)<br />Audi Quattro SWB ('80s to '90) based on the championship Rallye car of Walter Roehrl <br />Ford Mustang GT350 fastback<br />Ferrari 275 GTB<br /><br /><br />This list could go on, but this is a start.<br /><br />To be honest what I am looking for now is a classic of tomorrow thats still halfway affordable, currently looking for a BMW M3 CSL 2003-2004 (E46 body style) only about 1400 were ever produced world wide. One of the last low volume special cars from a "large" manufacturer that was still somewhat "affordable". Head to head the CSL beat out that days Porsche GT3 around the ring.<br /><br />Ok dream over time to get back into my Tata Nano....<br /><br /><br />

Really fascinating cars, many of these I am not familiar with including the TVR.

Good to see us Brits are still able to make a decent sports car. Well when I say make I mean USED to make as all our local manufacturers are now internationally owned which is a shame. Anyone know the status on the Caterham and Westfield sports cars?

 

As for the TVR's IMO easily the cheapest super car available 200mph for GBP60k.....

Nice or the Ford Cosworth 500?

Looked for years for a good Sierra Cosworth but couldnt find one.

Sold an Rs Escort Cosworth for 16,500euros about 2 years ago.

It had to be the old 2 door with the crazy whale tail not the Sapphire.

 

I learned to rally drive in an Escort Cozzie wicked!

Pagani Zonda ....the most beautiful piece of art on 4 wheels.

For me a dream car is one that I can drive every day and have fun with it every day.

 

At the moment I dream of an old mini modified with a 13B twin sequential turbo rotary powered through a WRX AWD drive train with a Holinger sequential gear box.

 

I see no point in having a show car unless your prepared to drive the thing, anything paddle shift is nothing more than a car that drives for you. The new GTR now way, the older RB 32, 33 and 34 with a manual gear box hell yeah. At the moment I potter around with a 320 WHP EVO VIII, only needs a fuel pump change and tune to get 420 WHP, which in Thai roads can and is lots fun. Prior to that I had a Triumph TR7 with a 5 litter V8 in the front with Supra gear box and welded diff which was scary as f&%k!

 

I can't really think of a production car off the floor, un-modified, that I would call a dream car.

[Exiled]

Whattya mean exiled?  it is my current drive..... its a 91 Esprit Turbo, 1 of 125 hand built and one of only 25 sent to Australia.  out of the 125 it was the only one painted that colour and I still own it!  I have owned it now for 8 years... it carries the number plate ESPREE

 

This is my other ride, its made by GM ( Holden in Australia, Vauxhall in UK ), it is a 5.7ltr EFI V8

 

Your a lucky man buddy!  But it's not going to fit all the girls I plan to Barfine and take back to my place with the rest of my lottery winnings?  Hell, I won't even fit the cases of boxes of condom that I will need?

[The Selfie Warrior]

I guess I was lucky as I had my 'realistic' dream car for almost 4 years back in the UK.

 

If i lived in the UK i would definitely have to own a TVR Sagaris!

 

[PeterKe]

I'll have an Alfa romeo 8c Competizione please, and thank you very much.   Apparently looks better than it drives but I couldn't care less.

You have a rotary in a Mini? Any pictures?

 

I had a Mazda RX7 convertible for a while took some getting used to not engine breaking on the rotary......

 with a 13B twin sequential turbo rotary 

 

i daily drove one of those for many years tons of fun, especially on the twisty mountain roads.... this is mine

I said I dream of having one. I have seen one in Melbourne, Australia with a 5 litter in the back seat though.

IMO, the RX& Series 6 is still one the sexiest cars on the road. I thought about getting one here but there are not too many, if any, mechanics in Thailand that knows how to work on them.
