Our Cars (dream or actual)

[Giles]

@HoustonChris:

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.

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

This deserves to be on this thread:

[Simon]

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 

[hectic]

Yeah shame, but its soooo chic non? I like the last scene at the Sacre Coeur.

PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ferrari 250GT SWB Berlinetta.

Yes… YES!.. 250 GTO is so beautiful... Man I could post cars all day... Some real nice'uns in here already...

Just to proof that not only old cars are nice:

And simple but raw as fuck:

That Alfa is GERGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hectic]

The Veyron is so outlandishly capable. Did you see that vmax run they did with the new version on Top Gear - 420kmh!!

[Seul]

Saw the ep - didn't the test driver (not May) go a lot faster on average?.. 440 - 450?.. I should re-watch that bit…

[hectic]

Oh, yeah, you're right. Still, 400+ is always going to be hallucinogenically fast.

Crazy Germans !

Went to see my friend today who builds hot rods. Here are the two he has on build at the moment. I really really want the 56 Chevy Stepside  . This baby has had a full nut and bolt rebuild with subtle mods: dropped 6" tunned engine, uprated brakes etc, the guy is a perfectionist, its awesome. He's going to want big £££ when finished which counts me out unfortunately 

[Giles]

So what are big bucks?

[Simon]

Something along the lines of £15-£20k ish. He's got a shoot for one of the Hot Rod Mags set up which should bring in the buyers he thinks.
