    I'm partial to one of these myself:

    Or one of these:

    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.

    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

    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...

    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.

    massive attraction to the bentley continental but that's not exactly bizarre.

    on-topic, toyota yaris, i have no idea why but every time I see one I go "ooooo"

    even posting the picture there I dunno what the attraction is, but it's definitely there.

    I think you missed the point of the thread here with this a bit. There's nothing ordinary about a manta. That said though, I'm not complaining, any excuse to throw up a picture of a manta and I'm all for it. I'd give my left ball for one.

    The fairly ordinary vehicle that I just love the look of is the Jeep Cherokee..

    I always had a bit of a thing for the old Defenders. The 110, longer wheel based model. Has to be black though.

    779716-8.jpg

    And an odd attraction to 1996-2000 Vectra Estates. Ever since a mate had one, the Vera (the C and T went missing one night), i still think they are cool. Love to get one, and slam it to the ground, with a nice subtle kit, and de roof rail it. And drop the V6 lump into it. Mmmmm.

    This one would be perfect to start with

    nice cars, not driven one for well over 10 years now, I love the interiors

    The seats did my back in - I got a bad lower back the drivers perch was so damned soft. Give me 'harsh' Germanic chairs any day.

    The Super 85 with the chrome door handles was the job!! Ultimately I'd love an Abarth, but I've never even seen one in the flesh!
