[Dolly 89]

Mk 1 RS's and Mk 2 RS2000. Owned one for 12 years, MK3 2 door GT Cortina's. Had one stuffed it big style would like another. TR6/TR5, Shelby 427 Cobra, E Type, you can't beat them for style. Aston Martin DB5.

Mk1 Austin Seven Deluxe
MG Midget
Austin princess vanden plas
Classic VW Beetle
Aston Martin DB5

[cradley-heathen]

i cant say i really get excited about any other car the way i do about minis, believe me i have tried EVERYTHING there is but no other car does it for me,

escort rs turbos x3
r5gtt x2
red top nova x2
various 8 valve novas
xj40 jag
polo
marina
ital
mk1 metro
metro gti
mgf (ooooh hello sailor)
suzuki cappuccino (coooeeeee, sailor!!!!)
space frame austin healy sprite with red top engine!
and tons of others,

nothing has really stuck, having said that when i see an R5GTT i do tend to take a second look, just have a terible stigma attatched to them now as being chav/boyracer

My dads also thinking of getting a old SL very soon hopefully, but he's more into the shape newer than that:


I too would get rid of those wheels, don't suit it one bit!

I think my other soft spot would be a Lancia Delta (Not the new horrible one which is being made by Fiat!):

For a start....

[Cerberus]

TVRs.

If it wasn't for the extortionate insurance costs, I would have bought one instead of my mini.

Hoepfully in a few years I'll be able to get a wedge with a 3.5 V8 rumble,


Few others too, Mk1 Escort Mexico being the main culprit.

It's got to be a '69 Dodge Charger for me...

...but would settle for a '68.

Is it me or does the Lancia look like a Skoda

[j-b_2009]

Is it me or does the Lancia look like a Skoda
