      That SM looks fuckin' awesome Hectic.
      I nearly bought a black one once, 'till I found out how much they potentially cost to run.
      Nice learner car Simon, I learnt in a Datsun Cherry around Lee on Solent !
      By the way Simon, the SM was down near the Alver Bank Hotel.

        Hectic, if you ever go to the Haynes Museum, check out the SM there, its beautiful with a lime green velour interior. Sounds nasty, but is actually sweeeet.

          That old Vauxhall was great, 3 gears, no seat belts suicide doors and a top speed of 50. We had the best of times in that thing at 6th form.

              Nope, but once moving you only needed 2nd & 3rd so not too hard.

                  It has to be this: 1960 AC Cobra, preferably the 427:

                    I dunno Giles, I think I'd prefer the 289.  I've read (no actual experience, of course) that the 427s have ugly understeer from that massive engine.  Not that I'd give the keys back if someone handed them to me, mind you.

                      Very nice choice Giles,

                      I've got a dream car for just about every muscle car, 
                      I'm a sucker for the early 70's mustangs.

                      this also got my attention and has held it for a while,

                      what's up with no one posting their cars?
                      this is my toy,

                        Yeah, but for me it is the sheer chutzpa of even trying to shoehorn a 427 into a little thing like that.  It is quintessential Iron Heart mentality…..G

                                  Audi A6 or A8 would be more than fine.

                                        Thats just such a classic. I was just soooo gutted when I found out it was a set up and that the film car was a Volvo estate and that the film had been sped up. Its still a 250GTO to me  😎
