Not to everyone's taste but I'd love a series 1 RS turbo.
A good mate had one, I worked Saturdays in his dad’s hifi shop, so had a chance to get rides in it.
It had quite a few issues from new, front discs warped, front suspension uprights kept failing, one night four of us coming through Savernake Forest on our way back from a hifi show in Ade’s RS heard an almighty bang and sparks lit up a car going in the opposite direction when we hit the bottom of a dip in the road at some speed; turned out it was the fuel pump hitting the road!
Oh, and there were issues with the Recaro seats as well.

like how do you post pics?
Google an image, right click it, select 'copy image location' then select the 'IMG' button and paste the image location in. Preview it before you post and you'll know if it's worked or not.
i used to love this thing but I'm not sure it looks quite so good out of the 80s -

First car I fell for at a dealership:
Nissan 300ZX
[img] 
[/img]
I don't care if it's a US market oddball with little going for it, I still thought (and still do) that it looked awesome.
Another bit of J-Tin, Toyota AE86 Trueno Sprinter (waibu panda paint job optional)
[img] 
[/img]
Just for sheer tenacity the VAZ2105 aka Lada Riva. My dad's never let him down till he traded up for a Cherry (that was also a mile muncher). Pictured in normal operating conditions.

Much nicer than its successor, Ferrari 512 BB...
[img] 
[/img]
...but not a shade on the car it was designed to compete with.

Liking the Buick on page one, always liked Damian Lewis' one in Life. On that note I would like to nominate the 1975 Dodge Monaco sedan. Also, more 30's aero!
On an aside, did anyone else gleefully await the next copy of the annual (?) Daily Mail Motor Review?

2002 with an S14 E30 M3 lump in it
I don't care if it's a US market oddball with little going for it, I still thought (and still do) that it looked awesome.
I used to love the 300ZX, looked really ahead of its time IMO.
Even considered buying one in the noughties, but realised I wasn't actually interested in driving fast and got a Scirocco instead.

A great every-day performance car, great-looking, and I had one. And it was as much fun to drive as my Mk2 GTI. Loved the interior layout, the way the back seats folded flat for bikes, the weighting of all the controls (I guess that's a Porsche-thing but I wouldn't know, I've only ever driven the 944).
Lot of very angular 80's lookers, i always preferred German curves:

And probably the only car i've owned that be considered a looker..

Seeing a Toyota up there reminded me, I always liked the Supra.

There were many outrageous coachbuilt cars in the 30/40s but the 1949 Delahaye once owned by Diana Dors is up there with the most stunning.[img] https://rmsothebys-cache.azureedge.net/8/1/5/4/1/4/8154140c7c6eb38a10d92d697e0fd9aa7cbc5377.jp g" target="_blank">

forgot this one -

Don't think anyone has posted one yet so:
[img]

And how about a nice mk1 Opel Manta
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
I know the Countach is an obvious choice, but how about the one off special built for the then company owner, Patrick Mimran, in a sublime metallic burgundy. I wouldn't mind a bike in that colour!

That W123 estate is the right colour! 8)
The whitewalls and rack ruin it, however.
And, as for the 190 Evo on the previous page...
HubbaHubba!

well I thought mine was awesome at the time...

Toofarwest - not a pretty car, but was that F1-powered?
My friend had one of these very briefly (it turned out to be a wreck).
I've been in a few fancy motors but nothing felt as gangster as the mk3 Cortina GT...

Renault 8 Gordini, an unlikely looking rally weapon[img] 
[/img]
On the back of this thread I have learnt about the Alfa 33 Stradale and would like one of those, please.
On the back of this thread I looked up Renault 5 Turbo 2 on Autotrader. There's one there if anyone's feeling flush.

AC cobra. First thing I'd buy with a lottery win
Pondo: Busso 3l v6. They were basically a 75 in a not pretty frock.
Colp mentioned a car that I'd been trying to remember, although I was thinking of the later version.... The Opel Manta! Granted they were probably utterly Shi'ite but I liked them when I was a kid.

I love those 30s / 40s American cars with the enclosed wheels.
Opel Manta!
White with tartan Recaro seats.
Nice. 8)
