Our Cars (dream or actual)
-
you guys are really lucky with cars in europe and US, try comparing the price in singapore…
-
RS4 perhaps?
-
you've gotta be kidding?!
we've only got cops in s80…. and so they've got lambos in italy? -
That's a terrible police car. I can't imagine they're very reliable, and who's going to do a PIT maneuver in Lambo?

So many dreams…..so little money.
I would love an old 30s model A, chopped up and laid out. Sometimes I like the really extreme bagged versions, sometimes I'm more into the classic rods that look like they were done up in the 50s.
I'm also a sucker for the early 1950s 'lead sled' style. Again....much more into the ratrod driven look than the chromed to all hell trailer queen look.
Moving on through history...I think everyone dreams about 69 chargers and 69 chevelles (and I do as well), but I really love the 69 Nova. It just looks mean.
When it comes to the 80s, nothing beats a 1988 E30 M3. Yes please.
I can't think of what I like from the 90s....but I'm sure there's some stuff.
from the 00s....I love the Audi R8. Sure, it's not as flashy as some other supercars, but its got a reserved sleeper quality that I love.
I used to own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee with 5 inches of lift an 33" tires. That was a fun toy. Totally impractical and a piece of shit....but I learned a lot keeping it on the road. I miss it.
I'm a month away from graduation and my first car is gonna have to be 'practical' since I'll probably have kids before I get another new car.....right now I'm thinking of the 5-door Subaru WRX....but we shall see.
Once we get a house....I'm gonna be claiming a workshop for a project on wheels. Chances are its gonna be a bike first.....but someday I will own a ratrod.

Lambos in Italy aye but that can't be too many
If I remember correctly, they only had two, and they were used mostly for organ transfer and an occasional emergency. They also serve as the model for one of the coolest Lego sets ever.

Just what I was thinking Irish, a wrx when I get to perth next year, but then there's always that 34 skyline on my mind. Just can't seem to decide.

New family car arrived last week. Got rid of my Audi RS4 ( sad to see it go, a fun and robust car ) and picked up a new Alpina XD3.
The XD3 is based on the BMW X3 330D M sport car. Alpina have added there own suspension system, engine mounts, air intake ducting and hand built 330D straight six diesel engine, titanium Akrapovic full exhaust system, plus some styling additions inside and out.
Impressive so far, 350 bhp, 700Nm Torque, and 44 mpg. Comfy ride, practical and can go like stink if you floor it. Only 13 of them in the UK to date.
This was not really my choice but a reasonable compromise between myself and mrs Trash. She is very keen on it and I made the political masterstroke of putting her private licence plate on it ( still waiting to go on ) which of course leaves my private plate to go onto something a bit more interesting at a later date.
