What's Your Favourite Car?

[mightyboosh]

I'm a cathead (obviously) but I'm also a petrol head. So what's your dream car? Mine is a Jaguar Ftype R coupe. 500+ bhp of muscle and sounds like a machine gun on steroids. It is a big cat after all. If anyone on here has one, congratulations but I hate you!

1948 GMC five window pick up- I know a guy who has one- the bed is all original wood, all original chrome, it's a beautiful truck.

Also one more- 1965 mustang convertible

Yeah, classic cars are cool. I also want an Austin a35 (very cute and quirky) or Triumph herald.

I think the first car you mentioned (or something that looked very much like it) I saw driving down the road last halloween. They had purple lights strung on the inside of the cab and there were people dressed up as creepy scary clowns all packed into the car, and they played scary music, and just drove down the road really slowly staring at people with the windows all down.

Yea it was a car that looked like it because there was a front and a back seat I think, but it looked just like that.

This is my dream car. 1964 stingray. I've always wanted one and I drool everytime I see one.

Do you mean the Jaguar? They're two seaters. A Nissan GTR looks similar and coincidently it follows very closely to the Jag in my dreams. The Nissan has four seats.

1969 green Mustang. It was my first car and love of my life.

No i meant the austin a35. It was a classic car they were in all lit up purple inside. It was all creepy.

I learned to drive on one of those when I was 12. I think it was a '42 though.
Manual column shift, starter on the floor, battery under passenger side floor, manual brakes and steering, wooden bed.
I loved that truck

For looks I like the modern Dodge Chargers. Apparently they're gas hogs and aren't very reliable so I'll just look. There are some others that have that kind of blocky front but I don't know what they are.

For driving I just like anything that starts every single morning and has working heat and AC .

Really? an Austin a35 in the land of giant cars? I know they must be there of course but what a coincidence re: this post. Excellent, and yes quiet apart from the occupants it must have looked weird. Can't get the image out of my head now

It's Lamborghini for me. I almost stole one once at an auto show but couldn't get out of the parking lot because it was too crowded. There were two right next to me, door open, engines running, waiting to be loaded onto their trailer. I wanted the red one but would have settled for the black.

I sat in a purple and gold (!) one and almost got stuck. It felt like my fanny was right on the ground and the seat wasn't sized for my American butt.

My husband knows of my love of Lambos. However, I drive a big Ford Expedition. One day we were out when I heard a Lamborghini nearby. I couldn't see it, but the engine sound was distinctive. I pulled up to a light and heard that beautiful engine idling. The light changed and we took off. That car matched mine, shift for shift, driving me crazy. I slowed and the Lamborghini slowed, too. I romped on my "big" V8 and was rewarded with the throaty growl of a real engine. I still couldn't see that doggone Lamborghini anywhere.

My husband was sitting there, grinning. I knew there hadn't been an engine transplant, but he clearly was up to something. Finally he confessed. He'd gotten an app for his iPhone that provided a Lamborghini engine sound. The sensor in the phone told it when to change sounds as I shifted or accelerated. I couldn't decide whether to kiss or kill him.

That's probably as close as I'll ever get to driving a Lamborghini.

Your Robert is a hoot, isn't he?

OK, you all know my story......Me with Clarence, my 2001 PT Cruiser and the automotive love of my life. As I type, Clarence is in the garage being painted. I should get him back sometime next week!

If I had the money, I'd grab an older cherry red Jag convertible with black interior. Alas, that will never happen.

mightyboosh - Yes, yes... I know. In its defence though, it is packed with the Koenig twin turbo package - for eating Veyrons the way Bob eats tuna.

Terrific photo of both of you!
