Bmalone: One of the guys I work with is a "R code" fanatic; probably has at least ten "R-code" cars scattered all over. Even has a couple of Cammer engines!

Hmmmm. No, a Cobra isn't in my Top 5.
1. 1937 Talbot Lago Tear Drop (hubba, hubba! Last one sold for $7M though, Often called the most beautiful car in the world) 2. 1946 Bristol 400 3. Ferrari F-40 4. Dodge Viper (America *needed* to build this car) Ya gotta love the Porsche 959, the Modena and Enzo are already classics. A Morgan+8 is one that I adore, but have never been able to justify in my driveway. I'm thinking of getting rid of the Viper and getting an Aston-Martin DB-4 (the Delorean is not how you do bare metal, the DB-4 is). A old Jag (lightweight, of course), E-type would be the perfect vintage racer. I love the suggestion of the TVR Cerbera (the one car I want to come to the US), but I think number 5 has to be: 5. Lotus Super 7 - the ultimate go-cart |
Since Cobra cars are waaay too obvious and y'all already tagged Ferrari's 250 Spyder/Enzo, and a long nose KW won't fit, I'd pick
- Jag XK150 3.8S - Porsche 904 - Hemi 'Cuda - Unimog - Lamborghini LM002 |

sticking to the cars i have actually owned, not "dream cars:"
my SPF is of course first. But i still wish i could go back in time to have my: '63 TR 4, put 44,000 miles on it in the 11 months i owned it, as a college student. Was my first car, and the memories.... Then my '69 Dodge Charger R/T with the 440 motor, took it to Germany where of course there were no speed limits My second TR-8 ( had 2), the V8 one, what a fine road car that was, burned in a garage fire from a fuel leak, something Brit cars are wont to do, i guess. Then my '71 VW Squareback, which i highly modified, and drove over a quarter million miles, then sold running. Last, the '65 MGB, the one my first wife flipped 360 tearing off the top, with me and our sleeping son riding. Replaced the top, continued on our journey. My son Chris recently got his second vehicle, an "00 Boxster, and he is proud as can be, and says he will always have at least one Porsche. He will no doubt always remember his first Porsche. |
