Gotta say my all time dream car has to be a R34 GTR Skyline. But I'm really starting to take a fall for the Silvia's. They are pure power! And god their sexy!

I've got a thing for light RWD 70's/80's cars, datsuns, corollas, geminis. I think just because I've had so much fun in them!

I'd sell my left testicle for a Ferrari F40 though...

Nothing bogan about that buddy...amazing car, amazing styling, a real collectable. If you don't want the original, a VK is easy to pick up for bugger all cash, and body kits are easily available as well.
Do it do it do it...

I too love the Jap stuff from the seventies to early eighties...there's just something about the little cheap cars. I've seen a growth in the popularity of late model rear-drive Corollas...the little square ones like around 1980 to 1982...and they look really great with the right paint and wheels.
Of course I have an '82 Celica, so I'm a little biased...

Totally agree but they won't so if you can find a high res picture of an XFR in the new Italian racing red and post that up we can all drool some more.

Yeah the Jag XF is a piece of art...I was crossing the road and paused for a minute gawking at one the other day.

Lincoln/Ford have no idea, they wont pull that off.

I have to say I even like the new XJ, it just oozes the sophistication of the XF on another level.

Yes I know it is a love/hate style but I love that XJ look, beats the S class and 7 series for me (visually).

Had one as my first car and always wanted to do it up. Its had to find a vk without rust all through it though. Boot and around the rear window in particular was always a pita.


Ideally, built 308 pushing about 300rwhp, supra 5 speed (maybe turbo 400), rest would just be restoring the car and making it a mockup cream leather interior would be nice too! No gizmos or gadgets apart from a cd player and some vital gauges.

Mrs says I have to buy her a car first :(
