One of the cars I've admired made the list to be voted on for 2010 World Performance Car of the Year an annual award voted on by 59 automotive writers from 23 countries. "Three finalists from each category will be announced in a few weeks at the Geneva Motor Show." | ||

I would like this, its a one off modern interpretation of a 1956 Holden, it was built by Holden themselves (Holden is a GM company and doing surprisingly well considering it parentage)   | ||

Delta, I'm not a fan of the first one, but the Tigra, Stratos, and Escudo all would be way too much fun! | ||

Wifey had a VehiCross for a couple of years, fun unit, but she wouldn't let me trash it off road. Only 4000 brought over to this continent. Recaro seats, lots of power, and very high tech too. I wouldn't mind having it back again.  | ||

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California.... Oh yeah. | ||

As temperamental as it is (you have to run it at 4,000+ RPM to keep the plugs clear), I'd have to go with the Ferrari F40. Even with two worthy successors, it's still my favorite.  (Message edited by hmartin on February 11, 2010) (Message edited by hmartin on February 11, 2010) | ||

Phelan the delta is ugly but it did very well and was very fast (and I like the name  ) | ||

Here is another little Aussie icon I would like to own. only about 300 built in the mid 70's,about 19 built as convertibles, available as a kit car initially, mostly fitted with a 179 Holden motor, then later as a limited production with a Ford 302, their getting fairly exy now.   | ||

Probably a touring car like this. And then a southern cross country tour, say Myrtle beach to Yellowstone, through to Death Valley and back. About a months time.  | ||
| Phelan |
Graeme, I like that car a lot! What's it called? | ||
| Gjwinaus |
Hey Phalan, it called a Bolwell Nagari | ||

the Carrera GT is awesome. I took my wife's car in a while back to be serviced and it was humbling . . two MacLarens in line behind me and 2 Carrera GT's up on lifts. There is one for sale near me if you are interested. . . too rich for my blood . . but damn fun to look at.  | ||

Started the project yesterday with this eBay score:   V12, 6 litre, 402hp, 428ftlb torque... it's going to get tweaked a bit  | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
Mark, Thats a slepper if i ever did see one lol, nice score!! Whats in the works for it lol? Jake | ||
| Mndwgz |
Jake, go back a couple pages and find: Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 03:15 pm: Right now it needs some 18" rims, window tint, and it needs to get a couple inches lower, for a year or so until I get the rest of the parts together. | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
Mark, VERY nice, i cant wait to see the final result!!! how much did u steal that car for? Jake | ||
| Doughnut |

I thought of you guys today . . . pulled in the parking garage at the Doctors off and stuck my killer Ford Focus between 3 Bentleys . . a Rolls Royce, a Maybach (they are currently on sale for $100,000 off MSRP sop the riff-raff are storming in) and an Aston-Martin . . . yeah . . . I got pics before they made me stop. | ||

'92 600SEL... in '93 the engine was detuned to 389hp and in '94 they renamed all mercedes and they became S600 and was detuned a bit more. They used a (green) biodegradeable wireing under the hood and most are plagued with wierd electrical problems.   I found it on eBay, 20 minutes from home, 4 hours before the end of the auction, called the owner asked where it was, went and looked, got back home and I called him again with a couple questions and while we were talking hit the buy it now button. A bit over 5% of the MSRP bought it. 92,500 miles and $7,000 in new wireing and all the service receipts and history made this a deal I couldn't pass up. These engines are good for 500,000 miles with regular oil changes and cam chains every 100,000. I might name this one Lokey... |
