    I like this guy, and I like his car. I'd want a rollcage (or half cage) but thats just me. He could totally make one out of wood or something.

    Not knocking, the bruisers turn my head too but for the same money, if i had it, I would have more go than show.
    I love Lotuses (Lotii?) for the same reason. I quite like the Elise 111R.

    and I used to own a 55 Chevy. Sold it to pay university fees. I still have the hood bird. In my Lotto garage is this:

    which kind of proves you can take the boy out of bogan-town, but the boys still a bogan.

    I always fancied a 150 model '57, done up black and white like a cop car.

    This 210 is good buying I reckon:

    And then some. Nothing better than an old 911. I'm saving for one dollar by dollar (it's gonna take a while!)

    I also love anything with an engine, Car, Bike, 4WD, Plane. To be fair though, there is not much more joyous than flight, the moment the wheels leave the tarmac... it's something special.
    Yeah, nah.

    But they just have... "something"

    I can't explain it, they're just the Rabbai's prok chops.

    As much as I'd love a GT2 (and it's pretty rare they're ever available), I'd take something like the Cobra every day. Just love the whole Shelby thing. I'd highly recommend a trip to the Shelby factory in Vegas for those that do... wow... a selection of history in the front, and in the factory original cobras still being made, optioned with the aluminium body, restos of owner cars, and on the other side a massive production area for the new models... Owners can also send their Mustangs there for a Shelby upgrade.

    Saw a GT500 Super Snake last week... argh, the noise

    It's my favourite by far, it was the only one to have a realistic physics engine by the standards of its time

    Anyway, back on topic, a car I find immensely exciting I have a minute Tatra fetish...

    Car market is flooded with these old American cars. Cunts have gone crazy on importing them, cunts still think they're worth big money, look at all the dreamers on trademe whose listings are over a year old for 60s Impalas, Tbirds, El caminos, Silverado pick ups or Mustangs. I suppose I'm fortunate enough to own one worth pouring a bit of money into, 56 hardtop rust free, picked her up for fuck all, I probably wouldn't bother if it was a 4dr.



    ducati lover, there is one of those Tatras at Southwards!
