The Wraith:

lol, I remember that.

You see, some images should remain forever in your head. I thought the wraith car was awesome, but it turns out it was a bit crap really, with really bad wheel arch gaps

i have two cars i have always wanted number one would be the Amc Pacer as seen in Wayne's world and number two would be the british classic know as the mini cooper most noticeably seen in the Italian job (first Italian job no the rubbish remake)

 

[Simian]

Had that exact model 'Monte Carlo'... All the Cooper tweaks plus some of the 'S' tweaks too!... 78bhp rolerskate!... Went like the proverbial brown stuff off the gardening implement!

Mine had 4x Spots rather than the 2x spots and 2x fogs on some models too!!...

I read once the AMC Pacer had one door bigger than the other. Anyone know if thats true?

The first thing that came to mind


Knight Rider

would have loved a car like that

 

[silversurfer]

I actually saw something similar on the street once, complete with red strobe bouncing back and forth on the front. Still wasnt quite the right car though I dont know what would be

 

[BigRoger]

tbh this is the best car ever

 

[Mickey_D]

Heh


'BLODIS' 13BT RX-3 Sedan

9.58 @ 139mph

 

[robmiller]

In black, naturlich.

 

[tigerstyle]

Always wanted one of these, had a cool model of one when I was younger with the hinged boot and everything, never sure if they were road legal but still wanted one!

The most winningest GroupB car ever!

and my 'down to earth car' was one of these, and I will buy one if I ever get around to it (plus if there at least half decent?)

 

[Simian]

Just found (a decent piccie) my Ultimate...

Mmmmmm 1967 GTO....

Don't want all the extras Vin Diesel added in xXx... Just want the car!!!

Yeah!... the Passenger Door was bigger than the Driver door so you could get in the back easier on the passenger side...

Mine too mate. I know of a company near reading that hires these out by the day for quite reasonable. You need to be 30 for their insurance though.

I could easy make the age thing now, but what would be the point?
Chances are that in reality it's a rubbish car to drive. I'd rather have the dream that it was an ace car, than the reality. It's a bit like fancying a really cute bird at school, then meeting her at a 21 years later re-union, only to find that she's now fat, has two kids, smokes like a volcano and spends her days watching bid up TV.

When I was a spotty herbert this was to be lusted over

Now that I'm in my second childhood I'll have a Veyron as well please

My dad used to have one of those bikes, but in red. Very cool, but now sold. Not reliable from what I could remember.
