    That's one of those questions that I could give a different answer for every time. But I guess, one car that's always near the top for me is the Lotus/Caterham 7.

    I agree with sposs there, the Audi TT is very sexual.

    However take a look at an MG Midget Mk III. If you like old cars this is the one for you. We're talkin round 1977 for this puppy.

    PimpNinja, I had one of those. I never liked that one you have the picture of (the rubber bumper model) as much as I did the chrome bumper (pre 74) versions. Now they were a lovely car. But even harder to get into than my current Triumph Spitfire (and they share the same engine as the car you show too)

    The rubber bumper Midget is blastphemy! Check out what I sometimes compete in....

    Nice one, did you do the customisations at the front yourself ? I saw one recently for sale in the north with a that front that looks a little like a jaguar e-type (they were quite popular in the period)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭Heathen


    would have to be the Toyota Supra twin turbo :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭Heathen


    OR...

    maybe something i could afford :)
    Starlet GT

    That's pretty much what the original 1971 ones looked like, the only change is the chrome bumper is taken off.

    It has to be the GT40 :

    NEW CAR
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1747224.stm
    (I can never find a good picture)

    For me it's the best supercar in the world because it's not a Ferrari. The story was that Ford tried to buy Ferrari and were told no. Ford were so pissed off, they build their own Ferrari beater..........and beat them it does - over and over again. I'd love a 360 Spyder, but part of the reason it's special is because of that Ferrari badge on the front. The new GT40 doesn't have that : it's special because of what it is.

    It's a pity that even if you could afford that you'd have to be Mr. Ford's bitch to get one.

    Every true lad has to of asked himself this QUESTION.

    Very difficult!!!! So many beautiful cars, Porsche 911 GT2, Merc clk Gto. TVR speed 12, classic 1967 Ford shelby mustang. Austin Martin advantage and vanquish and DB7.etc etc.The list just goes on and on.
