What is your dream car?
Posted by: wellyspyder on 23 April 2006
Mine is the Bugatti Veyron. Just an engineering marvel. Bloody bargain too if you can afford it, as it cost almost 3 times to make than the retail price.

0-60 2.9 seconds
0-186: 14 seconds
Top Speed: 218(limited) 252 MPH(actual)
Engine
W16
Horsepower: 1001
Torque: 922 ft lbs @5500 rpm
Oh I can dream, alright!

Wow! it's yours? Very nice indeed
Not so much of a dream car then!
I'm impressed and jealous (although I bet your trips to the petrol station are scary!)

Sorry about the parking <blush>
Jon,
At 120 it was like driving a boat, and the vintage SL500 is similar.
More modern cars are like driving on rails by comparison, with so little noise and effort, it is easy to speed without noticing.
In my old GT6, you felt like you were sitting on the road. The stereo was drowned out and was switched off at speeds over 50, and you felt like you were doing 100 at 65. It also did a gallon of oil on a run from Newcastle to London! Memories!
My point is that the driving experience is governed by the cocoon that surrounds you. One of the reason why bikers are so tuned in to potential danger.
The Aston was still brill to drive, and a lot more challenging than my BMW.

LOL. Brilliant Gianluigi. I want one but I prefer a right hand drive.

Luckily I own my dream car. I had one of the same before it too. Spelendid car, which more than adequately serves the purpose. A Volvo 240 GL first registered on 1/3/1989! A real winner!

I don't think it looks too bad but if I had one of the 200 odd in existence I'd be using the originals. Obviously they'd have to suffer a bit of kerbing at Tesco's....

When I get bored of my current car (which isn't likely to happen for the foreseeable future) I fancy one of these...

They need to remove that reflection from the windscreen. Apart from that....just about perfect.

How about this one?
Posted on: 30 April 2006 by wellyspyder
Try again!

Not showing, and that is how it is with me!
Of course when a horse shows it is embarrassing to old ladies, so may be we are lucky dear wellyspider! Fredrik
