I loved my 1983 Mercedea Benz 240D, no race car but dependable, comfortable, Inexpensive to operate (30 mpg), classic design. I sold it for $1900 in 2001 with 284,000 miles. Often I wish I'd kept it.

My favourite car was my 1984 Fiat Uno. Easy to park, fuel efficient and nippy around town. Could do 90 on a good day which wasnt bad for an 1100cc motor. Nothing I have owned since than has had the same charm.

Ow I almost forgot. This car I was allowed to drive on the Landrover Experience without my driving licence. My ultimate experience was driving the Landrover Sport Supercharged because it accelerates in such bloody speed that was just a total kick for me

That Astin is close, but I'd still have the DB9 over a Vanquish.

In the meantime,

My other car is a...

What is that second one you have got there?? That looks real sweet! Is that really yours?

It's a Bugatti Veyron, and I believe it is currently the most expensive production car in the world so I doubt she has one.

LOL I tend to believe everything haha! Not the first time. Looks real slick though

Its the Bugatti Veyron.
Worlds fastest and most powerful street legal full production car. 300 cars to be produced, at a base price of $1,440,800

I be she (plainsong) don't own one...

 

[Contrastique]

Oew..now I feel even more stupid haha!

 

[plainsong]

Uhhhhh, yeah, I have one. I just loved the C30 so much that I purposefully chose the 1.6L to compliment my Veyron.

Captain Slow goes really fast.

/No, if I were rich I'd have that db9 and gaze longingly at the Veyron. Girls can like fast cars too.

//Working on week 5 of the same tank of gas. The car averages not less than 10 miles a day. That's the minimum it goes. Some days that's all it does and on others we actually go places.

plainsong, after having seen a C30 in the flesh for the first time today (they come out over here in September, a local dealer brought one from Canada to a wine festival I was at), I am completely and totally in love with that car. We're only getting the T5 version here, but that suits me just fine as I plan on autocrossing the living daylights out of it once I get one.

Do you have a manual transmission in yours? Have any commentary about how it shifts? The shifter action seemed pretty nice in the example I got to sit in today, but I'm curious to see what it's like in real life...

Aren't some of those older air cooled 911s supposed to be hard to handle on the track?? a rumor I heard is that the rear end can get a little squeemish on tighter tracks.

Never driven one though... its just a rumor I heard.

Curious...

For me, it's gotta be the Ford GT:

I see one around town frequently, but have never managed to connect with the owner. He/she is a lucky person. It's the classic white with blue racing stripes, and has plexiglass/lexan boot, so you can see all the goodies. Just gorgeous, and mean as hell.

Elise's aren't actually too expensive, your dream car can come true. ($30,000 roughly) The only thing is that they are tiny, have you seen one in the flesh? It only comes up to my chest and I am 5'7. talk about a death trap.
