Posted by: Julian H on 18 July 2009

Ok, so these are mine. What are yours. Some of the more well to do peeps on here may even own their dream cars, cool, show us. Me, I just bought some SL2's so a Fezza's out this year

First off, I have to say as a non-driver, I find cars a bit of a bore. And without wishing to sound rude, all of those modern Bugattis, Astons, Mercs etc at the start of this thread are pug-ugly. They're the automotive equivalent of a beefy rugby player with cauliflower ears: big, powerful, impressive, but utterly lacking in style and grace.

This, however, is the car world's equivalent of a supermodel...

No wonder she's getting all this attention. Has there ever been a more beautiful car?

Here are some more shots...

A Miura P400 has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever built, not the puce green though. Just be careful not to trip over one in a car park.

£250,000+ and one is yours.

If I had £250K to spend a car it would be on a Miura. Can you imagine picking up your kids in one?

I do know someone who's driven one, and he says it's as satisfying to drive as it is to look at.

If one of them was very small - nursery school age perhaps - you could stuff them in the boot.

....if it had one, just an over size glove box I think.

Right now, it would have to be this - the Alfa Romeo 8C

I would just love to own a BMW 850csi. There was an M8 prototype but the project was shelved. What we have in the 850csi is essentially a detuned M8. As you can see from this rear shot, some owners have decided to designate their cars as an M8 anyway.

Dream Cars?

I wouldn't mind owning any one of those!

As well as the Jag XK140 and the Lambo Miura which are two of my all time favourites, here are some other golden oldie beauties:

Nice choice Mark

I know, the grey metallic and red leather looks well on the Merc, Julian.

GT2 anyone?

Posted on: 20 July 2009 by BigH47

Well done Julian, I must admit to being drawn more to a Porker than any Ferrari (except a 250/330 GTO, probably the best looking car EVER).

A Porsche at last. Now we are talking.

I was very tempted to put the GT2 up, indeed an amazing car. It didn't quite make the cut as its not 'outrageous' looking enough.

Not got a clue what happened to the Zonda picture i put up, that writing wasn't all over it when i posted!
