Vehicles you love/loved?

Funnily enough I never used to think "I want one of those" when I was a kid, and I never had a dream car until I started driving.

My "dream car" though - (right now I have the "baby" version)

*waft*
 
Ive only ever loved 3 cars, Ac Cobra, Karmann Ghia and the Merc 350sl gullwing, I would sell a testicle and a kidney to own them:p
 
I'd love to own the below, they're within reach, but would be unwise buys should anything go t**s up lol.
TVR Cerbera/Tuscan/Griffith/Chimera
Lancia Delta Integrale Evo2
Escort Cosworth

...until I have a huge disposable income to waste lol :p

Purposely avoided supercars etc, as much as I love some, I always preferred the underdog supercar beater lol, and I'm not too sure I'd want to buy one, even if I were a millionairre... though I might be tempted by a Ferrari (for the experience short term) or an Aston.

What defines a supercar to you mate? I could never quite decide whether I would call the Cerbera a "supercar" despite it being as quick or quicker than pretty much all competition at the time (except things like the McLaren F1)
 
When I was around 13 (and with my Dad owning several Montego's) I took quite a liking to the MG Montego Turbo.

I thought the whole 'fast saloon' thing was awesome. Quite normal looking but goes like **** off a shovel.

I went for the next best thing...

A few years later and I started taking an interest in the Subaru Impreza. I still have a large folder with brochures, magazine cut-outs etc. I'll own one eventually :)

Loads more really, just a few I loved when in my yoot!
 
Unfortunately they're holding their value far to well.

Maybe a...

He started that race last + 10 seconds.


The Q4s are actually still worth quite a bit (although still a lot less than the Lancia), so you might need to leave off the 'her face + her body' style dreaming - the V6 and 2.0 are crazy cheap though.

When I was knee high to a grasshopper, the cars I always thought looked great have mostly already been mentioned.
The Alfa 155, Jaguar XJ220, Honda NSX, Mini etc.

The ones that haven't are the Alfa SZ, Mercedes SL and the er, Volvo 480ES.

Luckily, I bought a 155 rather than a nice 480 Turbo I saw advertised!
 
Really feeling the S15 Silvia's nowadays..

R34 goes without saying, don't think I'll ever actually own one though.

Yer S15s are cool too ... I'd "like one", but don't think I'd ever buy a Nissan though, just prefer Toyota, Honda and Subaru as companies.
It's the same for the Evo as well :( or FD
 
Prefer them as companies? What the hell does that mean?

Nissan have as much, if not more pedigree of making performance vehicles than the companies you listed.
