If you won the lottery or something and could pick out any car,
what car would you drive home in? What do you think is the greatest
car ever?

And what do you think is the worst car you ever been in contact with,
when it comes to repairs and failures and such?

Niiiiiiiiice. Love the DB9, but what a price, way way way way to much
money for a car.

There was an episode of Unique Whips where Jeff Gordon pulled a car in straight off the test track. Will Castro and his team chopped it up, painted it, installed a stereo, all kinds of neat stuff. It had the coolest exhaust cut-out setup I've ever seen. The best part is they kept the entire drive train. Hendrick engine in a street car?!?! 8O

It's a toss-up between a 1966 cherry-red Mustang, or Inspector Morse's car (Jag Mark II). I like me some expensive cars!

Nice pic, a little to flashy for me personally, but a really good looking car.
Has a "smooth look" to it, not much air-resistance I would think.
Probably no fun to roll over in :)

I stumbled across a site once, with crash-photos of only exclusive pricy cars,
thats worth a look for car-people.

For those who like it, Gumball Race 3000 with the jackassboys is good fun
and a lot of great cars going way to fast through a bunch of countries in
europe. One of them got stopped on the danish border and pulled out a regular
sheet of paper and gave to the cop. It was a regular copy of a driving license
issued in california, he had lost the real one :) But guess who kept driving.
Another one drove straight off the road in about 110 mph or something, clipped
a cow, (cow made it ok :) ) totally wrecked the car and walked away. The race had
to go on. Some got hi-jacked in jugoslavia and lost cars and everything to local
gangs. And Steve-o woke up on a boat one day with 2 knees on one leg. Not kidding! :)

am do not do competition type stuff so wont be winning any money,but am would like a mustang,like the shape a lot.
am had asked one of the staff if motability [they give those who get HR DLA benefit a car of own choice within reason] would give am one of the new mustangs,he said never,so it was settled on getting another great car instead,ford focus.
even if it isnt top of the range,am still see it as a great car to be in,it feels great on the move,even if sat in the back of one,there isnt too little space like others.


sister is a driver and she has had several cars,a pegeot 306 and a renault clio.
if am remember correctly,its the clio that has been causing her so many repair bills she is fed up with it but cant get another as she has her house to pay for.

I really want one of those, for grocery shopping and such trips :)
That would be something :) I like big space, long legs, have a to
small car now, something old men usually drives, I like it "quiet"
and not to flashy.
