Title: Petrolheads...... Post by: KingPoker on June 01, 2007, 01:07:38 AM Following on from another thread about cars, everyman or rather every petrolhead has at least 5 if not 10 favourite cars.
So what 5-10 cars would you have sitting in your virtual garage? Minimum list of 5 cars and pics more than welcome! Title: Re: Petrolheads...... Post by: byronkincaid on June 01, 2007, 01:50:53 AM F40

Post by: RichEO on June 01, 2007, 03:41:06 AM If I had the cash for a 5 car garage it might line up something like this, different cars for different purposes. There's 5 but the RS4 and IS-F are pretty much interchangeable, I'd have the RS4 until the IS-F is for sale next year.

5-10 of these in assorted colours. Title: Re: Petrolheads...... Post by: kinboshi on June 01, 2007, 08:52:38 AM The Bugatti Veyron is obviously an amazing car. But this car is just brilliant, and is perfectly usable as an everyday driver - also love the fact that it was developed in Britain by a few men with flat caps in a shed smoking woodbines. Ladies and gentlemen - the Bristol Fighter T.
(http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/pics/FighterT-A.jpg) (Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it). Then there's this lot:
Title: Re: Petrolheads...... Post by: kinboshi on June 01, 2007, 09:13:13 AM But, for a more realistically priced (but still well out of my price range) car, it'd have to be the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR, probably one tuned by MINES.
This is one they tuned a few years ago (look how quick the pick-up is through the revs - that's one torquey engine): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-348078270231384071 This one belongs to a friend, and for some reason he's selling it. Maybe due to the fact that he lives in Jersey, and the speed limit is 40mph there? Still, it's only 70mph here... (http://www.cicarscene.com/forum/download.php?id=1684) Title: Re: Petrolheads......

Lamborghini Gallardo Aston Martin V8 Vantage Any Ferrari ( My favorite car manufacturer ) (These three below if I never win the lotto, but am comfortably well off ) Holden/Vauxhall Monaro . I have always liked these cars, they are mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md7tJYX2lpI&mode=related&search= Alfa Romeo GT TVR Sagaris Title: Re: Petrolheads...... Post by: KingPoker on June 01, 2007, 09:42:18 AM Probably the most famous skyline ever, the JUN Lemon is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsFdPbMOq-o (do other searches for it. Its renowned in Britain and my mate showed me on the skyline forum of a biker who had posted on thee asking who the owner of this lemon skyline was who blitzed the biker who was on one of the fastest superbikes you can buy!- I believe its on sale aswell for summat like 50K or summat) Trouble with the bristol is it looks hideous. The veyron looks like a bruiser and up for the challenge, the bristol looks a bit limp! Will post mine on here tomorrow! Great choices so far, especially junglecats lol! Title: Re: Petrolheads...... Post by: kinboshi on June 01, 2007, 10:18:09 AM A bloke called Mick owns the Jun Super Lemon now (well he did at the end of last year, and he was thinking of selling it). Probably is the most famous due to the Top Gear exposure - but it's far from the fastest in the UK. You wouldn't lose it in a car park though...
The Bristol is hideous? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I love it (it looks even better in the flesh so to speak). You missus loves you. Love is blind, etc. Anyway, my next car is probably the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I remember seeing it at the motor show in Brum in the 80s (when I was a little whipper-snapper) and thinking how incredible it was. This is the actual one. Did you know that the colour of this one is called Chichester Blue, and 27 coats of the stuff were used when painting the Aston.

The Noble M12 is another beautiful car (IMO), with the performance to match. Frighteningly quick, and handles like a go-kart. Probably the fastest car I've ever driven on British roads, and probably one of the biggest smiles I've ever had. Not ridiculously expensive either (but still well out of my price range...). Title: Re: Petrolheads...... Post by: kinboshi on June 01, 2007, 10:30:59 AM My fifth choice is for when I have kids and have to join in the school run with the other chelsea tractors.
I'd go for the Bowler Wildcat - made famous by the Paris-Dakar rally and Richard Hammond driving one on Top Gear. (http://www.motorpasion.com/images/2006/12/bowler_wildcat_200.jpg) They've recently brought out a Range Rover model as well. Again, some fellas in a shed - this time in Belper.

I don't know what I like more in terms of muscle car, either the Holden or the GT500. The Holden Commodore is a fantastic car . |
