    Yes I was thinking of the Delorean as well but it just missed my top 5.

    The Ferrari 250 gto - completely forgot about that one!

    My uncle worked in a delorean factory in belfast, ive got original car handbooks and designs around here somewhere. I just love the car. They made two gold plated deloreans too which look tasty.

    The 250 GTO is one of my fave cars of all time. for me, thats the benchmark i use to compare other cars too.

    Maybe not my all time favourite but definitely a classic shape AE86 GT Coupe Toyota Corrolla, more affectionately known as simply the Toyota Twin Cam.

    Also up there would have to be the Koenigsegg CCX.

    E30 BMW coupe.

    250 GTO is nigh on impossible to top though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    My favourites are the E39 5 series BMW, Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, Citroen SM, Daimler Majestic Major, Audi S8 (older model), Lamborghini Miura SV and the Honda NSX, for now anyway.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭vengeance52


    i agree with the 5 series, and the S8. like the two of them.

    Diablo 6.0

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    Its hard to beat the M5, there's nothing out there comes close to it in so many ways, I've been tempted to change mine a few times but there's nothing out there to replace it with the exception of the new M5 but I just don't like the look of them.

    Bentley Continental GT
    Before all the rappers bought them and turned this understated monster into a vulgar blinged up nightmare! Its still a beautiful thing in my eyes.


    002ey5.jpg
    Porsche 928
    Nothing says the decadent 80s like a 928. This is destined to be a future classic.
    The basic design dates back to 78' with minor cosmetic changes up to 1995. It still turns heads and has aged very well.


    003mu4.jpg
    Alfa Brera
    Ive a soft sport for alfa :o Its stunning looking.


    004uv2.jpg
    Citroen C6
    This would be my exec cruiser of choice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 662 ✭✭✭Ba$tard


    Nice cars.
    For me, my top top, always #1 car is the Porsche Carrera GT.
