    Has 4 wheels, starts, stops that sort of thing...

    I've never understood the whole having a car that can do 280KP/H when you can still only do the speed limit, or in most cases the speed the idiot infront of you does as they sail past a 80KM sign doing the dizzying speed of 55KM/H...

    Have to admit, if I were to have my dream car, it would be the 1967 Ford Mustang...

    mump_1006_01_o%2B1967_ford_mustang_fastback%2Bfront_view.jpg

    Have driven a few in the USA, and saw a few of these in Australia, already converted to RHD, would love to have put one of them in a shipping container and sent it back here....

    Ford F-150 pick up truck, preferably with a few bitches in it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Dream car would be something crazy expensive, 2 door, that drinks petrol. It would be completely impractical in everyday use.

    Ideal car then would have to have a decent boot, actual back seats, handle like a go kart and have a lot of grunt. So maybe a mint E30 BMW M3.

    Small, inexpensive, and preferably in a striking colour (purple, turquoise, orange, bright green, anything that would stand out) so I can spot quickly where I left it in the parking lot.

    At the end of the day, it's something that should get you from A to B with the least amount of hassle.

    I can never nail it down to one, drives the missus nuts as I often act on the "jasus, I'd love one of those.." impulses most normal people have and then ignore. I believe it may be a form of mental illness..

    Even though American cars aren't really rated that highly, I do like the way a lot of them look - very masculine. Lots of cars just look like boxes now.
