Default What is your favourite car??

We all ride bikes but what do you like in a car??

It can be something you may or may not be able to afford....

In my case it's waaay out of my budget but it is a dream and one that if
I won the lottery I would fulfil in a heartbeat :-)


I have been so in love with the Lamborghini Miura ever since I watched The Italion Job with my dad many years ago...........


It is that scene ...that scene, at the beginning of the film, where it is being driven through the Italian Alps and Matt Monro is playing :-)

Oh My God ... it still sends such shivers down my spine :-)

It is so achingly beautiful and being driven like that to that music ...oh ...my ... just, oh my...............

If I had a last wish it would be to drive this car on that same route through the Alps .......


yes, On Days like these .... omg yes!! :-)

At 16secs listen to that gear change ...and then the music comes in ...just OMG!!








Dear Santa!! ..lol

As far as car's I've owned, I would say my 68 camaro. Its in the middle of a restore right now, but the plans of having my son work on it with me and it will get turned over to him later on.

As for cars I can't afford. I would have to say the Mclaren Mercedes-Benz. theres just something about that car. Luxury and 650 hp and a 0-60 of 3.7 seconds.... thats my kind of ride.

'Car I can't afford' , covers about everything

I think I'd like a Lotus Elise as a modern car



Or a Cateram Super 7



I see the people driving these cars when I'm riding and they seem to be the only people having half as much fun as me!!

Wow, that's a tough question, jules...

I'd love to get my hands on a Ferrari Enzo!

And I've always had a thing for the Acura NSX. Just a sweet all-around car. This one, I may actually own one day, too. I think that adds to the appeal.
Dam, what a hot Acura!

okokok... I'm weird but at least I know it

1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible


1981 Delorean


But here's something a little more normal


1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

The Delorean and Super Beetle because how often do you see them in great condition. The Shelby GT500... well, duh! Cause I'm a man

Kuroshio , I'd have to go with the Mustang or the Beatle , Though I do have a hankering for a VW camper van

Dylan , you make me realise how I limit myself ! It's fantasy land and I'm still thinking practicality what an old fart I am

Hangfire, as soon as I saw the 300ZX, I remembered how much I love those cars. I've come sooo close to buying one so many times.
I've never been a big fan of the 'Cuda or mustangs...
I like the Chevelles and Camaros. (Although, I'd drive 'em all....lol)
The lotus is hot.
