Cars you always wanted as a kid

When I was very little I dreamed of owning an Escort Cabriolet when I was old enough to drive.

Countach, and a 288 GTO.

One of which I still really want to own. Can you guess which one?

my 2 favorite cars. the 288 GTO is the only Ferrari i ever wanted.
I have had a 5 foot poster of a Countach S since i was 5 and i still have it on my wall. it will go to me grave with me

i will never get to drive or own any of them cars BUT... as I'm more of a biker the possibility of me owning my dream bike is only a good £7k away so i will own one in the next couple years.

Would you believe at one stage I actually wanted a Renault Scenic? I loved the idea of a 'huge' car.

Skyline GTR Nismo Tune and an F40

A V8 Dolomite Sprint was my 'MUST OWN' car for an awful long time, despite the fact they never made them.

Anyway, I owned one and it was a bloody riot so I'll do it again. More fun than a clown on fire!

Rover SDi Lump?

Lancia Delta Integrale or a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, wouldn't want either now though.

I thought, "Seriously, someone else like me?", for a moment then

Nah, late RR spec 3.5 on EFi & a five-speeder

saitrix · 25 Nov 2007 at 23:59

Lotus Elise S1 for me, always had a soft spot for them. Hopefully in the next few years I will have one.

Yes the first mass produced 16v, plus using a single cam. Also the first British manufacturer to do alloys as standard.

Have you been out in a Sprint at all?

Only my dads and that was 20 years ago

E30 M3. Always was, always will be!

SoliD · 26 Nov 2007 at 00:08

Ferrari 355 and F40 I guess still cars I would love to one day own. Maybe the 355, no chance on the F40 though.

Chunkiest looking car ever.My old boss had 1 along with a Delta Intergrale HF and some Celica GT4 i think it was. He wasn't the sort of person who bought these cars just because he could,he caned them everywhere. He took me out in the M3 and scared the hell out of me.
