I was driving in europe a few years back with my missus and we followed one of them doing 200k's for about an hour....we were in an Escort..... :lol:

The Audi cornered like on rails, and we cornered like on ice! Mad cars! I would love one. :D

Hey FatMaserati
My little brother and Dad are up to about 5 or 6 of those although not all of them will get back on the road...:roll: (240 / 260Z)
If I couldn't have a mini I'd have to get a motorbike (is that allowed or is it only cars) if it had to be a car a sprite would be cool. :D

I know a guy who used to be into bikes, but decided it was getting too deadly and his reflexes weren't good enough anymore... so he did some hunting around and bought the closest thing to a bike he could find on 4 wheels - a MK2 sprite/midget with a worked 13B :shock: :shock: - it's an ex-racecar, now engineered and registered and driving around Albury/Wodonga

Yer I wasn't allowed to get a motorbike (probably with good reason) my family and then girlfriend wouldn't hear of it.
So I said I going to get either a motorbike or a mini and so I got a mini... and then another :roll: :D

If I couldn't have a mini, then I 'd get a Moke!!



My daily driver is a mustang.
I'm gathering bits for my hot rod, a Cadillac-powered 1927 Ford roadster.
Otherwise, I'd love a Lamborghini Miura.........but then I don't have the cash anyways.

1937 Austin 7 roadster 750cc hill climber. Alpine blue with white leather seats and chrome wheels arches and radiator. My brother has one once in the UK and left it over there when we moved to oz 20 odd years ago because we had no room in the container! It got accidentally squashed by the guy who was looking after it :cry:

FJ55 Toyota Landcruiser (from the 70's) Over enginered to buggery. Toyota used the engine/gear box, running gear, brakes, chassis members - virtually everything but the body from their 7 ton truck. Plenty of grunt for off road and hard to stop. Had the thing on a dyno once and they shut down the engine one cylinder at a time and it run on one cylinder - sounded awfull but it was running :shock: :shock:

OK, I'll have a go at this. The Pants Tearers (Pantera) were always great but what I really want is a new type Lotus Exige with the Toyota motor in it. But then there's the Rocket or the Arial Atom.....http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/04/frames.htm........ for those who want to see the ultimate stripped down car. A Bentley Turbo for taking the missus to Melbourne for a quick blast on the Hume in ultimate comfort. So many good cars to choose from.

I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado, hot-fcukin'-pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah!
And I'm gonna drive around in that baby doing 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon...

You know the rest.

Probably a Beetle done up Cal Look style, or maybe a genuine convertible (Karmann) Beetle. My first car was alwasy going to be either a Mini or a Beetle. I reckon I'll own a Beetle one day.

I'd love a 66 Mustang GT convertible and a Corona Hardtop like this one:

(Currently looking for one of these)

Cheers,
