I got my uncle's car, a 1991 Ford Scorpio 2.9 Ghia while he's in hospital. That probably means I'll have it a bit longer, judging by the current looks..
Anyway: Too bad I can't afford one, for this car is a totalyl luverly drive!
Cheaper than a Porsche, maybe that's one for you, nodubmanshouts?

The 370z has been rating favorably in comparison to more expensive sports cars; maybe you should look into one of those.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Hey, I get to drive one of these (in rather poor and more-than-slightly-unsafe condition, too, I might add):

It's just a weird version of a Veyron, by the way.
This one is more ...ahem... 'common'. And also better looking I have to admit.
As for beauty, I still prefer the Miami Vice-mobile!
IZ.
Koenigsegg CCX(and it's got more horse power)? Caterham r500? Ariel Atom 3 ? a lot more beauty even Lambo Reventon's better.

Sorry, Iz, but that first version looks like a kitchen appliance, imho. 
For me, nothing beats:
...etc., etc., plus various assorted hot rods, street rods, bizarre Barris Kustoms...
Oh, and if I could have a Bugatti, I'd want one of these (or one of its cousins):
*Faints*
@ Iz: now I'll have Crockett's Theme in my head all day!

A black Peugeot 206 would do for me. I'm cheap & I know it.

thinking about cars soberly, from a monetary point of view, no cars that are new and sports-style make sense.Purple Light wrote:I'll join your club. That's what I mean really.SINsister wrote:<---Cheap, no. Poor, definitely.
The car that earnt me the most money by taking me to work and back reliably and in all weather conditions cost 150 DM, that's 75€. My last one, a Volvo 340. Others pay that for changing oil..

My last car (that's right, last, not first) was one of these:
But the car of my dreams is:
...only racing green, with a black interior...
(Yes, I am fully aware that I'd have to buy a mechanic as well - but if I could afford the car, I could afford the mechanic...)

Really, I couldn't have made a better list myself. Real bad-ass cars that just scream raw power, rock n roll and adventure. When I see one of these cars in the beginning of a movie I keep watching
Budget versions in the same vein: Opel Manta, Ford Capri, VW Scirocco - if you can find any of these still rolling, which is unlikely

Yay! Anthea's crunchy! 
My biological father (Mom's first husband) wooed my mom whilst driving one of these:
...and Dad (Mom's 2nd husband) had one of these, which he sold when his folks came over from England to visit, as he needed a bigger car to fit us all. DAMMIT! It could've been mine!

What I will have to have
What I would LOVE to have, and props to Norman Hunter who knows the love as well!
What I often spend my summers riding around in, and what I can get on the insurance for once I actually pass my test!
Had no idea there were so many petrolhead Heartlanders!
