chico Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 my favourite cars are any boring family hatchbacks with 2.0 turbo diesel engines. Great for blowing off fannybaws boy racers in any situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW Corrado VR6 - fast as f*ck, brilliant fun, gas guzzler. 211838[/snapback] Always fancied one of those Corrado VR6 - even now Dead right about the MGF , looks good , ambitious design ( mid engined sports car from rover ?!!!) - shit build quality. Mine blew up the day before the big expose' on Watchdog about the gaskets on 'k' series engines. Shame really cos the k was a good engine but rover in thier wisdon designed a metal gasket with a rubber seal for it ( why?!). German or Japanese from now on. Into bikes now anyway - you get a bigger bang ( smile ) for your bucks !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Datsun Cherry 100A............. Various too numerous to mention up to Saab 9000 turbo............. One a car of history, One a ten year old flying machine............ A car's a means of getting from A to B , that's all, too many dafties use them as status symbols................ I for one will never buy a new car again, one turn of the wheels and at least a fifth of the value is ta-ta................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the gay horn. I loved the horn on my old merc (twin air horns as standard fitment). Very effective in communicating to people to get off my land!

stuartmunn Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) 1) Jag S Type R ... Quite Nippy 2) Alfa Romeo 155 V6 ... Quite Nippy, Had it for 7 years, never broke down, always started first time. Used to use up tyres and shite in the snow. 3) Lancia Monte Carlo ... I cried when I sold it... I wish I kept it ... 4) Innocenti Mini , Bertone styled Italian built hatch on a Mini chassis looked cool, but combined the worst of english engineering and italian electrics... disaster! 5) Austin Maxi 1500 -- first car , gearbox blow up at 70 mph on my way to see Nazareth at the Glasgow Apollo 1978 ... The gig was superb though, the 140 miles tow back to Aberdeen not so much fun! Rock on.... Edited November 25, 2005 by stuartmunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
