Cars that you like

[Sandy Braille]

What cars do you guys like? Let's share some car-porn. I'll list off a few:



1) Alfa Romeo GTV6, 80s

2) Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione II

3) Any 2000s Aston Martin

Maybe I am partial to my land of heritage, but I have always loved the Lotus Elise. Surprisingly affordable for a toy car as well. Maybe actually will be in reach someday.

Audi R8

 

[Bronco70]

My favorite of all time; '69 Boss 302 Mustang

A close second; '70 Challenger R/T 440 six-pack

'67 Mercury Cougar. I had one in high school that I regret letting go of.

And, of course, '66-'77 Ford Bronco. I have a '70 in my garage, mid project.

And yes the R8 as well, but I'm pretty sure I'll probably never even drive one, let alone own one.

A more reasonable and realistic Audi? An S4...

British cars typically have very thoughtful designs. From Jaguar to Aston Martin, to Lotus, to McLaren, right down to Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Their cars have a lot of character, which is pretty much the main thing I look for in cars.



For example, American cars from the 60s-80s ooze in character. Consequently, I've pretty much popped chubs with all of those pictures that Bronco posted.


But a 2003 Chevrolet Camaro? Simply not the same.






Good choice though, scoots. Hit up a few test-tracks sometime. They sometimes allow you to rent out cars for a day or whatever. Any other British cars that you like?

Cant believe you let go of a 60s Cougar. They damn sure dont make the same anymore.


Question: My neighbour has a '74 Javelin AMX chilling in his garage just wasting away, and hasnt really done anything with it. Do you know much about the car, and would it be cool to attempt to restore one? It seems like its in pretty good condition already.

Swap the Challenger and the Mustang, throw a Charger in the middle, and add a Camaro SS before the Bronco.

I'm too lazy to find pictures and tell the years and why. I even like the newer remakes. I like the muscle cars, never been huge on the Bronco's though.

Sometimes Bronco70 I wonder if you are a long lost brother, and then I remember you like the Utes.

Would rep if I could.

No mention of the Chevelle SS, and Plymouth Cudas makes me sad.

I've been inside a Golf R, but never driven one. As far as a Golf R32 specifically, I don't think I've ever even seen one.

Amen to that. I had a '67 XR7 289, metallic emerald green with a black vinyl top, black interior. Factory AC and front discs. Immaculate. Oh I miss that car so bad... It wasn't the fastest, but it was a head turner.

If it's in reasonable shape (within your abilities to repair) you should definitely consider it. Javelins are relatively rare. The flip side of that is, it's a little more difficult to find parts - original or aftermarket. But if not too much needs to be replaced, and you can get it for the right price, those Javelins can be awesome cars.
