I know that's a great car, but it's not available on my given choice...

Lambo is of a different (higher) class than those above cars...

Pick another one, please! :D

The Honda looks too normal, the TT looks like crap and there are so many Mercedes-Benz driving here that they're nothing special for me (although the SLK compressor is a damn hot thing *g*).
The Toyota looks nice but if I had to chose I'd pick the Z3 (cabrio).

The Z3, I've always liked BMW's.

Aston Martin DB5 ,6 or 7 ........... of course, given that i spend my money on Neo Geo stuff, i would be happy with any bloody car at the moment, my BMW is officially dead! :mad:

BRABUS 600 SL (modified mercedes for those who don't know) with MAE suspension kit.

6.9 l V12 500 hp more than 310 km/h WOW I love this car !!! :cool:

BTW - are you serious ?!!! already expensive in europe, so to be imported in aus must be really $$$ !!!

The price for that car here is AU$104,000.

Not that much for such a great car!!

My dream car would be a......
Nissan Skyline R34....
This baby can beat all your lame cars!.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha h.......
burn baby .
BURN! :cool:

...The "Choices given" suck

...I`d take the Jaguar E-type

Actually, I wouldn't buy any of them. Mercs suck big time... over rated and over priced.

I've owned an S2000, it's a cool car, very fast and handles beautifully... so if push came to shove I'd have another one of those.

Right now I'll stick with my MG TF - British sports cars baby!!

I also have a BMW 320i, and an RS 200 - the quickest production car in the world - 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. :)

BMW coupé or a Audi TT!


Or a Porsche 959 (Fucking EER)! <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

I forgot to mention:

BMW coupé Turbo Diesel 3.0

I love Turbo Diesel!

McLaren F1 if you please, if were going to dream lets do it properly. Rovers are shit, lets face it. If it was built in Germany the brand would be a laughing stock, it sickens me when Autocar and Car praise every model that rolls off the production line. Patriotism is all very well but this is going too far. Ray you have managed to come up with a list comprising only of hairdressers cars (with the possible exception of the s2000). You arent a hairdresser are you? What about Evo 6/7, TVR, type R etc ? If were talking old school I'll go for M635csi, 850csi or 750iL although I've always fancied an E30 M3.

Ah yes, the 330D coupe. I'va always hated diesels but this car is changing my mind.

Cars suck anyway.

But if I had to choose from Ray's list, I'd take the Mercedes because of it's good reselling qualities and the engine.

Exactly, that's the reason why I get this car.

Then open a motorcycle thread! For favourite bikes (and trikes)!

In terms of overall performance (handling, engine, performances) the best one is the Honda S2000 :cool:

"Nissan Skyline R34...."
VERY nice

Mazda RX8...decked out to the fullest...just like in The Fast and the Furious baby :D

Sorry ray your choice of cars was pretty poor <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

Porsche 928s

skyline (not this years model -the latest ones suck)

1996 300Z twin turbo

1996 Supra

All of these are affordable and fun cars. Of course I'd sell my neighbor's children to Arab slave traders for a midnight blue Lamborghini Diablo, but let's be reasonable.

It's been my dreamcar since I first saw one in the Transformers episoder where Megatron get's vector sigma to give life to the stunticons.

Hey Ray_7, your pic shows an AMG 32 version... :cool:

Of course if he had any idea he'd buy the Brabus version... <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

RUF CTR Sport - fuck me they are frightening to drive :eek:

I'm a poor man, the only 'car' I can own is my 5yrs old Proflex 756 and my Litespeed boo boo but one day, I get myself a real car.

german cars all the way:

audi (shawn's car), porsche, mercedes, bmw & vw of course...

the coolest sports car i ever saw (in magazines) and the one i would like to have is the Porshe Carrera GT <img src="graemlins/drool2.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool 2]" />

I already have my toys , a 1990 g60 corrado with 284 h.p. and a 02 gsxr 1000 with 152 h.p.
but I do like the audi tt, that would be my pick if I wantd to get into debt again.

I would love to get a Brabus version, but since I'll have this car for not so long, why pay so much?

I'd rather save that money to change cars again in the near future...

Ray_7, I'd go with the S2000 if you drive in a climate that doesn't have much of a winter.

If you DO get a winter, I'd go with the TT and Quattro.

I'm in the hunt for a new car right now.

Either:

Or:

BTW, the non-AMG SLK looks and handles like shite (in addition to being underpowered). I have driven one extensively:

Mercedes pays homage to the god of black plastic:

Hi Wolf,

nice choice of car you got there, get the BMW!! I love that car!

And regarding my choice, well, S2000 has always been my 'dream' car, but since I don't really like to drive manual (and also, there's some shitty speed limit here), and clutching too much, I'd love to get a car that does auto (and manual) like BMW and Merc.

And after knowing all the safety features (and some brilliance) of the SLK, I'd definitely go buy one!

edit: I also love the hard-top of SLK's!

That's what my dad has. I'm always jealous of him.

Yeah, my stepdad has one of those. Great car for cruising. It's fast, but comfortable. Keep traction control turned on though! Those SL500s are quite skittish when the tale gets loose.

Those cars are all so mundane tho...

Did you know for example that a MKII 16V Golf GTi is quicker than the current GTi? New cars are just getting slower...

A Lancia Delta S4 now THAT's a real car... 600BHP turbo charger and super charger... I drove the rally version and it was a right bastard to get it to go around corners... awesome in a straight line tho...

BMW's are nice, but too common. Need to get an Alpina version to stand out from the crowd. ;)

BTW, Ray, on average I don't keep a car longer than about three months b4 I change it...

Honda S2000.

I just bought a 2002 Honda Civic SI and when I pay this bad boy off I am going to trade it in for a S2000.

Not everyone has a car business in the family ;)

Lol! When did I tell you this?

yeah, it's great... I don't pay for tax, car insurance, servicing (altho usually I do my own unless it's a very technical repair involved) and half the time I get free petrol!!!

Fantastic <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

So, I suppose if I come clean, apart from the RS 200, all the cars are company registered (great for evading parking and speeding fines). I do get the benefit of trying out new cars for free and the huge discounts available to the trade - I can claim VAT back on most purchases...

I'm a bit of a cunt really.... <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

Any car?

1968 Camaro 302

McLaren F1 - Duh!

Ferrari F50

Vector M12

Hummer Turbo - Not the SHIT H2's

Lotus Twin Turbo

Damn, there is a lot...

Right now I own:

1988 Jaguar XJ6 - 50,000 miles
1995 Cadillac Touring STS Northstar
2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport - The grocery getter
1991 Acura Integra (riced out with Nitrous) I hope it burns! 13 second 1/4 mile
1988 Jimmy with 30's (big mud slingers)
