    I think the cool/uncool decision should be made as if Top Gear was doing it…unfortunately. If you think they would rate the car uncool then its in!

    Those cars are not uncool at all – you want them because they are quirky hip trendy cool.

    This is what I want, and is the least cool car here:

    Estates are never cool, so an estate version of the much-maligned XJS can only be the automotive equivalent of Dwayne Dibley.

    And I want one.

    That Talbot would be the ultimate MTB vehicle

    I do remember working on similar Talbots back in the day and they were horrible vehicles – but they did have a certain charm 🙂

    Jools – that pick looks like the back of Mam Tor?

    Always wanted one as a kid and, as I’m still a kid, I still want one:

    Messiah, a mate of mine has a g60, and besides that frowny headlight thing and the borbets, his looks rather unmolested. It has got blue hoses and then he lost me on whatever else he did to the engine, and he claims he ‘lost’ an r32 on the motorway down here last time I saw him. 😀

    I remember working for McAlpine and the site agents had Cavalier Commanders, thought they were very cool back then.

    Cool site to find how many cars are left.

    Supercool Captain Flashheart! If I ever venture back to classic cars I’d be in one of those (or an earlier model)

    Mine’s the same colour, with a cream fabric interior and has been loved from new. It lives in cosseted luxury, which I think is rather nice for an “ordinary” car. It’s not some super-duper special thing, just a “good” car that my grandfather bought new in Germany, collected from the factory in person and left in his will.

    Pigface, it’s about the same size as my London pad! In fact, could be bigger! 😉
    YoKaiser, if it ain’t a W123 it ain’t super cool un-cool! 😉

    And, here’s the Auto-Bahn-Barge in person;

    Not my pic, I should add…and, not the best pic, but there next to a friend’s rather lovely V8 MG in the background, at the rather lovely “Drive It” day at the Royal Oak in Bishopstone.

    Oh, and I think this is another…

    I did wonder if that would crop up. First thing I thought of when I saw the thread title.

    Rare as owt, probably worth a bit.

    One of these. Utter junk but if I could have any car ever, then without hesitation:

    I was just wondering if a DeLorean had been mentioned yet – I briefly had a go in one and the bit I loved was the way you have to climb over the handbrake to get in. I wonder how many people crashed doing that…

    There’s a feller lives near me who has a DMC-12… It’s probably as rubbish as people say, but man does it have some presence.

    Obviously if I had one, I’d need to turn it into a back to the future replica though.

    Me with my first love, a Renualt 5 Gordini Turbo, probably around 1990….

    Very, very, very unreliable car and and very uncool compared to the other Hot Hatchbacks around at the time, wish I could get another, great fun.

    Likewise. Tragically, my longing for a Delorean comes simply from a childhood obsession with the BTTF saga. Every time I catch glimpse of a Delorean in real life (oh so rarely) I turn into an excitable child.
