Our Cars (dream or actual)

[Chris]

Love the WRX; it is on the short list for my (eventual) next car.  I gotta have it in WR blue, though.

the mechanical design for this wrx is totally next generation for subaru. however i feel apart from the fancy looking interior(which i totally like, eg, steering) the use of cheap plastics make it feel cheap. like a no for me..

You don't buy a WRX for the interior though. I had an 08 and it was one FUN car.

Amazing looking Bugatti, but honestly which Bugatti doesn't look amazing. Still for vintage looks, it's the Morgan Aero 8 for me.

[Graeme]

The BMW i8 was released yesterday. There's currently a year waiting list, but it looks seriously cool.

Want.

@Anesthetist - if you're after a Morgan, get a Plus 8 Speedster.

God-damn ze Germans sure know how to concentrate 500 portions of wank into a one minute flick…

Well done lass

[seawolf]

Has anybody seen this yet? I'm not big into muscle cars, but this car is so interesting looking and is so damn powerful. I would love to drive one.

That's just SICK.

[Anesthetist]

@ summ3rhays she will love it. Lexus makes one smooth car!

And it's the Japanese Mercedes…

[Graeme]

I went along to a preview event for the new Mercedes-AMG GT on Tuesday. It's an impressive beast, but I think that the i8 is more interesting.

[Graeme]

A few of Mercedes' greatest hits were also on show…

If @Giles ever wants to trade in his AMG and Land Rover then he could get this instead. It's only a second slower to 60…

Here's a picture of my car. I've owned it for 15+ years and dumped more money into it than I care to remember.

Great pics Graeme! That new merc looks pretty badass.

1fookntitefd- 3rd gen 7's are one of the nicest looking cars ever made. I prefer a more stockish appearance, but your car looks great. What kit and wheels? Still 13b?

The kit is from Fujita Engineering and wheels are Volk Racing CE28n. I am still running a 13b, albeit with a ported motor and a single turbo conversion. The car is making approximately 380 horsepower at the rear wheels (450 at the crank). Here is a picture of the engine bay:

Here is me driving the car at ButtonWillow Raceway in CA:
