Your dream car

[DarksideTours]

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?

Lucky...haah not luck mate, I didnt win them lol... but am gonna win the $14m tonite ehehe... waiting for results!!  and if not, am gonna go for the $30mil on Thursday night!

 

Does take a Lotto win to maintain and keep the fuel up to these babies though... but didnt buy either for their fuel economy..

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.

 

yeah... would have to do it all yourself most likely.

 

i doubt i will buy a car in thailand, the taxes make them incredibly overpriced and there is nothing i even like under 2mil baht....most choices would be 3-4 mil baht+

 

Although you can get a pretty nice R34 GTR Skyline here in Thailand for around 2mil-3mil... ive always wanted one of those!

You can get an R-34 GTR in Japan for about $5000-$10000, dime a dozen

If money was no object and I could only have 1 car - Mclaren F1

Anybody know anything about the Delorean "dream" cars manufactured in a subsidised factory in Northern Ireland. The stainless steel bodied gull-winged car featured in Back to the Future movie.

I know they drive like shit , where unreliable and where underpowered with that 150hp Renault engine but it was one of my dreamcars in the 80'  .

Still trying to get my hands on one of these , Spyker C8 the only (real) sports car ever made in the Netherlands .

I worked with a guy years ago who had one but because they are made from stainless steel he had to keep it in one of them big inflatable air bubbles said any finger prints or crap on it causes problems. I dont think he ever drove it all the time I knew him

beautiful car, and sounds fantastic as well... there were 2 Spykers that would regularly show up to the monthly car show I used to attend, i always enjoyed hearing them leave

 

did you know they have announced a new Spyker? unfortunately its a bit underpowered by todays standards, but thanks to a low curb weight it will still move pretty decently... it is aimed at being a competitor with the porsche cayman.

yeah.... delorean was a pop culture icon because of the BTTF movies... but the car itself was junk.

For that price they will most likely be a converted GTS, need to be very careful with the Jap imports in Thailand as what usually happens is they import a lower end model and then by the parts from a wrecked higher end and swap the parts over. Then you have to deal with owners that modify and then don't really look after the vehicles so at best you are looking at a complete engine and drive train pull down/overhaul to make sure what you have isn't going to have problems. I learnt the hard way with my EVO.

yeah when i looked around i saw quite a few GTS, and poor GTS-GTR conversions.... but in the 2-3mil range you can find nice legit (atleast i think they are) R34 GTR's..... its still a hell of a lot of money to pay for a 10+ year old non-luxury car... the tax on cars here is ridiculous.... pretty much every model of car i like or would purchase back in the US is 3x the cost here in Thailand.... now i finally understand why the majority of people here with cars drive low-end shitty economy cars and cheap pickups... but id rather take taxis the rest of my life than buy one of those.

 

this one is 2.5mil and looks to be in decent shape

Any car full of Soi 6 girls, with tinted windows of course.

I thought Spyker was done but this (crook) Victor Muller seems to have more lives than a cat .

 

You must be something if you can get GM and the Swedish government crazy enough to borrow

you 65 mill US to take over Saab . A few dodgy investors that build 20/30 sportscars a year .

In February 2011, it was announced that Swedish Automobile, the Dutch owner of Saab Automobile, agreed to sell its sports-car unit to Vladimir Antonov. Antonov, a former Spyker chairman and shareholder, is expected to pay 15 million euros ($21 million) for the company.^[41][42] However, in March 2011, the deal fell through,^[43] with Spyker's manufacturing partner CPP Manufacturing placing a bid, but this deal fell though later that month.^[44][45]

In September 2011, it was announced that Swedish Automobile would sell Spyker Cars, in an all-cash offer to an American private equity and hedge fund North Street Capital, for €32 million ($41 million).^[46][47] However, according to a recent announcement, Swedish Automobile is again offering Spyker cars up for sale, it was revealed that this sale did not actually occur, with North Street Capital still attempting to close the deal. ^[48][11]

In August 2012, Spyker announced that Youngman Ltd. acquired a 29.9% stake in its parent company Spyker N.V. for €10 million ($12.5 million).^[49]

a C-class is your "dream" car??

 

i love the c-class, its a very sharp car and congrats on getting it.... but its an entry level benz... i have a hard time picturing it as a "dream" car.... if money was no object, and you could have any car in the world, what would you really choose?

 

Or is that an E-class? new C and E have similar front fascia

[PepeLePew]

Yeh I love the old McLaren F1  It was designed by Peter Stevens who also designed my Esprit... Gotta worship the wedge! 

Gordon Murray was the genesis of the F1 though he came from the race team. He actually first pencilled a 1 + 2 seat sports car as a student. Stevens was joint head of design concentrating on styling and aero with Murray deciding on the oily bits. 20 years on I don't think anyone has built a better car yet!

define "better"... there are many current cars that outperform the F1... the new Mclaren midlevel car (MP4-12c) outperforms it.... and the F1 successor the P1 will annihilate it.

White is a great color on the E, congrats.

 

The new E63 AMG is a fantastic car... the new TTV8 motor is amazingly powerful.

[siamjj]

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