Thanks to Todd Simpson, a thought came to me regarding this new topic 
What is your dream car ladies and gentlemen? Post a picture with the 4 wheel vehicle of choice!
Posted by: Nihilist1 May 23 2012, 08:48 AM
Spyker C12 Zagato. I saw it at the Los Angeles Auto Show back in 2009 before I left California. Before that it was the Lotus Elise.

You seriously don't think I'm gonna be content with just one do you ?? 
Posted by: Sensible Jones May 23 2012, 06:34 PM
My Dad built the original GT40's and went to Le Mans with them when they won for the first time!
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 23 2012, 09:50 PM
I can't repeat what came out of my mouth when I just read that ! WOW ! What history.. this must have been '66, '67 maybe ?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 23 2012, 10:20 PM
Triple wow!
dude! That is HISTORY we are talking here

Dear God Man! is that a Radial Aircraft engine on that chopper?
Posted by: Sinisa Cekic May 24 2012, 12:17 AM
Mercury Monterey 1950.

DIETER! A fine choice sir! I'd LOVE one of these. These are Military Spec vehicles built by mercedes then released to the public. They are about $100,000 each and are built like a tank. Having literally died once on a Racing Motorcyle, than AGAIN in a small sports car, I tend to like LARGE vehicles now. My third near death experience will have to wait. I've come back twice and I"m done with that.
Posted by: jstcrsn May 24 2012, 01:02 AM
of course Finished it will hold ten , suck gas and ride low
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 24 2012, 07:08 AM
Nice rides gentlemen 
@Neil - that bike can fly right? I had no idea about the engine belongs to a plane actually.
@Dieter - the G Class is my dad's favorite as well and honestly, I wouldn't say no to such a solid piece of German engineering
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 24 2012, 08:48 AM
A suitable car for The Godfather !
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 24 2012, 08:56 AM
This is an easy choice for me 
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 24 2012, 08:57 AM
This is so you could go back to the time when Pinball was KING !!
Posted by: Dieterle May 24 2012, 09:41 AM
@Sensible Jones,
thats a BIke , there is only one problem for me , on the placement of the tank should be more space for my antinode budge ( i hope its the right word for a bit to fat ).
@Ben Higgins
Ford Gt 40 i ownd one when i was a child .. a matchbox in yellow and black stripes
@Todd Simpson,
Ford Gt 40 i would like too but i am to old for that kind of cars , my back is hurting and when i would sit into a car like that i wouldn't get out alone of it Must dream about the Benz!
@jstcrns,
this repaired and fixed a fine car and enough place for my family and dog.
around my place there are some freaks who like to buy such cars and make them real great ones.
@ Bogdan Radovic,
wich car is that -- Lamborghini i can't remember ?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 24 2012, 10:25 AM
Heeey
what movie did I see this one into? 'Back to the future' maybe?
Posted by: Sensible Jones May 24 2012, 12:48 PM
I can imagine, believe me!! Yeah, they won 66, 67, 68 and 69 although they first raced at the Nurburgring in 64.
One of his most treasured possessions from that time was the Steering Wheel from one of the winning cars!
(We still have the Steering Wheel.)
dude! That is HISTORY we are talking here I know, I and my 2 brothers were all brought up on stories of racing Cars and Motorcycles!
After he finished with the GT40 he worked on the AC Cobra's for a while too!!
It is mate!! A 2.3 ltr 7 piston radial!
It makes the most beautiful noise!!!
@Neil - that bike can fly right? I had no idea about the engine belongs to a plane actually.I know, makes it even more awesome!!
thats a BIke , there is only one problem for me , on the placement of the tank should be more space for my antinode budge ( i hope its the right word for a bit to fat ).
It happens to us all!!
I have a spare Flux Capacitor in my Tool Box if you need one mate!!
Sinisa.... A man after my own heart!! We should team up with a certain Mr Jeff Beck!!!
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 24 2012, 01:56 PM
what movie did I see this one into? 'Back to the future' maybe?Yeah, this car is a DeLorean.
Posted by: Nihilist1 May 24 2012, 01:58 PM
They are remaking the Delorean and releasing it in 2013 as an Electric Car.
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 24 2012, 02:00 PM
Really ?
Well hopefully it will have better performance than the original which was notoriously slow !

As I happen to be at my Mums I just took these pics of the Steering Wheel!!

Nice !! Now let's see if we can get the rest of the car piece by piece !! And have a communal GMC GT40 !
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 24 2012, 04:50 PM
I can, I can..... I have no clue how to put it together, but I'd be thrilled to be involved 
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 24 2012, 04:52 PM
There's a place in Worcestershire, England, called Tornado and they make GT40's.. if you all sent me some money now and again I could start getting the body parts and wheels, engine etc..
Posted by: Dieterle May 24 2012, 05:02 PM
must talk to my wife first , maybe when we cancel our daughters pocket money and here and there some stuff ... one day
Posted by: Sensible Jones May 24 2012, 06:01 PM
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 24 2012, 06:14 PM
Yeah I'm sure she'll understand just how important this is !
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 25 2012, 02:21 PM
So, what's the account number?
Posted by: Jesse May 25 2012, 04:30 PM
Probably a 1969 roadrunner plymouth, Cadillac eldorado or something like that
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 25 2012, 04:36 PM
Very nice..
if it's gonna be American Muscle then a Plymouth Barracuda would be my choice
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 25 2012, 04:39 PM
Exactly!
Bass To The Future
Posted by: thefireball May 26 2012, 02:14 AM
I am with Ben on the GT40, but seriously what came to my mind was the Corvette 2012. 
Posted by: JTaylor May 26 2012, 03:21 PM
My wife and I both have our dream cars. Hers is a 2001 Toyota Corolla. Mine is a 2003 Dodge Durango that needs a paint job and sometimes does not run like it should...... and they are both paid for.
Posted by: Dieterle May 26 2012, 03:29 PM
Yeah to be honest , my wife`s and my car ,is a Saab 93 build 2002 its paid and i am looking forward to a nother five years 
Posted by: JTaylor May 26 2012, 03:59 PM
With a Saab, you should have no problems
. We're going to drive our vehicles until the wheels fall off. Then we'll put them back on and drive them some more.
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 26 2012, 06:01 PM
Good taste, Fireball.. I nearly posted a C6 'Vette as well !
Posted by: Yash May 29 2012, 03:27 PM
This is mine, The Mercedes SLS AMG 2010
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 29 2012, 04:22 PM
Wow

Posted by: Ben Higgins May 30 2012, 09:23 AM
The ultimate phallus on wheels !
Posted by: PosterBoy May 30 2012, 03:12 PM
Cars don't do it for me, in that way thankfully.
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 30 2012, 09:58 PM
Pretty strange way of putting it
Posted by: Ben Higgins May 31 2012, 08:25 AM
You know me, never conventional
Posted by: Yash May 31 2012, 09:11 AM
What's phallus ?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 31 2012, 09:17 AM
It's a metaphor, man can't quite explain it in the forum, but uncle Google will help you out
Posted by: Yash May 31 2012, 09:20 AM
can't quite explain it in the forum, but uncle Google will help you out Got it. That was a strange way to put it Ben.
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 15 2012, 09:56 AM

Posted by: Dieterle Jun 15 2012, 02:04 PM
Wow a whole lot of parts and pieces........

Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 15 2012, 04:09 PM

Posted by: Marcost Jun 15 2012, 04:30 PM

Aston Martin DBS
Posted by: Dieterle Jun 15 2012, 05:56 PM
Aston is a nice Volkswagen
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 15 2012, 06:02 PM
Aston Martin DBS
Oh no ! I've got a bad feeling you might be a little bit disappointed...
The DBS is a beautiful machine.. the best Aston !
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jun 16 2012, 09:38 AM
COSMIN! I just noticed you mentioned this thread came out of something we were talking about? Was it during a chat? Now I'm curious! I don't remember talking cars, but did we?
What is your dream car ladies and gentlemen? Post a picture with the 4 wheel vehicle of choice!
Posted by: Yash Jun 16 2012, 12:45 PM
I realized that I have a very slim chance of owning an SLS AMG (until and unless I make it very big in the music world and get as big as Slayer ), so I thought I'd act practical and post something I could really own, and more importantly, DRIVE in Delhi.
So, I present, the Chevrolet Cruze. 
According to me, this is the best car I can own and practically use here in this city where we have serious traffic problems, you might just spend 15-20 to even 30 mins at the same spot on road. And, what do you need for survival... ???
An A/C in the car, and of course, LOTS OF HEAVY METAL
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 16 2012, 12:54 PM
An A/C in the car, and of course, Some HEAVY METAL
Yeah, the AC would definitely be an asset !
Posted by: Yash Jun 16 2012, 12:57 PM
And maybe three burgers, 500ml Chocolate Shake, and some French Fries too.
Or maybe Coke
