Which car have you a bizarre attraction to?

CharlieCroker

Which car have you always had a secret hankering for??
Doesn't need to make sense or be explainable. Just your everyday cars that most people wouldn't look at or think twice about.


This is mine, always wanted one for some reason.

I'm with Mike on the BX GTi. I'd also like a CX - just to have for the weekend.

jimboddb

Renault 19 16v. No idea why but i still love them

road_2_damascus

1991 Alfa Romeo 164 3.0l

I also have a Volvo as in the first post which I will never sell

Bluefoam

My dad had two of them, very cool

ronnie3585

That Aston is my favourite Bond car!

For me it has to be the Mercedes W124 500SEL.

When I was growing up it was the best car on the roads. Love the size, looks, engine and interior. Would love one a two tone one in black and grey. IMO they epitomised the quality the Mercedes was once famous for.


Also love the R129 SL600. Something nice for the weekend!

An MG X80, (did they ever build them?)

I was going to say a 306 convertible but I thought it better not to mention my secret for fear of ridicule....

The point of this thread has beenmissed by many...
Always had a hankering for one of these an Opel ascona spec the coupe back in the day!

NewApproach

*drools*

DirtyOilBurner

I can picture myself robbing a bank and speeding off in one of these :D

Corega

Third generation Mondeo always did it for me, plus you can pretend you're moonlighting as a plainclothes Garda. :P



Seeing as people are posting up their dream car's, MKI GT6...I'd have the Minilite wheels though.

Senna

My first car was the a 1ltr TD charade so ever since then i've wanted a Daihatsu Charade gtti.

Blue850

Fiat 127s, I've owned dozens of the things, still have 2, collected a Sport for my brother last Sunday, first car I had and I'll always have one. theres one on Ebay with tiny mileage, must resist, must resist....



I know i'll never own one but I'm fascinated with Lamborghini Espadas, sometimes see ropey ones for sale that are dangerously affordable but I'd have to remortgage the house to keep it going:D

EPM

Remember my dad had one of these back in the the day. It was a 1.9td d-turbo model. The very first of the facelift models, didn't even have alloys but had the sports seats and was the lovely Flame Yellow like this one. Still would love a nice one...

Anan1

Don't have a pic, but i'd like a Peugeot 604 V6TI. I also have a bit of a soft spot for the Renault 30TX.

Cosmo K

Alfa Romeo Montreal, just to look at it

As a daily driver, 540i V8 estate, the ultimate sleeper:)

Same vain as Cyrus, cars I would like to own, but for various realities, never will. (Not until they turn classic that is:D)
