dream cars

[M_P]

Due to the lack of car porn, i thought i'd add a picture of the miura.

 

It's the original supercar, and still to my eye atleast, one of the best looking cars ever built. I'm a bigger fan of older italian cars, however the new ones do still appeal strongly to me, particularly lamborghini. There's just something I love about their fascination of excessiveness and always making their cars over the top. That and their method for naming the cars they produce.

 

 

The Veneno for example looks like it wants to stab you in the face, and that's an idea I like very much.

Actually, I quite like the Lambo in the background of the Veneno.

Only because it reminds me of an F-22. Does it come in coal-grey and USAF markings?

[M_P]

It does indeed

Getting really in to 240z's at the moment:

The Veneno looks like a transformer in my view but if I was given one then that would be nice.

I would still love an original mini even though the other half has a bmw version its a good car but its not a mini.

 

For a retro car it would have to be an avenger if anyone remembers those, for an affordable car a nissan 350z and for something speedy probably a skyline.

On the other hand my bike restoration when its finished should be cool - if it ever gets finished .......

I know this is a bit of a necro post, but slightly better than making a new thread.

 

I've found my mid life crisis buy - the Ghurkha RPV

No idea, I've emailed the UK distributor asking for a price yesterday, whether they respond is any bodies guess.

My father actually has both a mk1/2 ferret and a command variant Saracen, and he loves them both to bits, so highly recommended, plus the parts are pretty universal between the 2.

 

slight update - the pricing seems to start at $450,000 from the factory door, so probably looking at the £500,000

Dream car would have to be a reconditioned DMC Delorean. Although if I could get my hands on a decommissioned road-legal Scimitar I'd be equally as happy.

hey, I've still got at least 25 years before even the beginning of a mid life crisis arises.

Would have to be a Honda NSX for me. Not super powerful but seem rarer on the roads than Lambo's or Ferrari's. Almost affordable too lol

yeah i love the NSX, rare because i think only imports in the UK dont think they were ever sold here plus they didnt make that many

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

I have a thing for older merc diesel wagons

 

 

 

Guess it's because I sort of grew up with them,along with 190Ds since they are extremely common in Ukraine. They're not that rare in Ireland in all fairness but so many people ruin them by 'stancing' them too much and often have horrible service intervals. Not only that but insurance is hilarious. I'll get one though,mark my words! Be it with dodgy eastern european car salesmen or restoring a slammed one from some dole dutchie scummer

They were available through Honda NSX approved dealers in the UK, remember seeing one at 2 Mills Honda back in the 90s but they are pretty rare here. New 2015 version may see a few more here possibly?
