Our Cars (dream or actual)

[JerkStore]

Ok I’ll post mine. My dream car became mine in 2021. I’ve always loved every model of the M5 and my first love was the 1996.

M5 car meet from last weekend

@endo lovely photos! so great to see people using their vans to get out there and make memories. as for the engine placement - i kinda dig the engine in the rear. it saves/creates so much space, lowers the center of mass so you can take turns like you're in a sports car (albeit with 89 hp) and for rear wheel drives having that weight in the rear is great for driving in the snow! there are drawbacks for sure - the cooling lines have to be MASSIVE, thus, the volume of coolant is obscene (18 litres!!), i can be a bit noisy and create a lot of heat in the summer.

@Ross that's what i'm saying! i think its that perfect blend between the boxy and the rounded. just beautiful (but if we're talking boxy shapes there is def a special place in my heart for a g-wagen)

@JerkStore those are stunning

[Ross]

@Inorganic Mate! I'm convinced all those 'boxy' cars from the 90s we all thought were ugly 10/15 years ago are coming back round!

[Inorganic]

@Ross without a doubt. I'm just waiting for some hipsters to get clued into how cool the Lada Riva looks and its potential (omg if my 10yr old self saw me write that i may have topped myself).

@Inorganic I have seen some very cool expedition modified Lada Nivas out there

I had this Chevy Suburban, a 1978 or so, when I did my first long trip through the US in 1990. Three months Boston to LA, mainly just National Parks. Bought it for $800, lived in it all the time, derusted it with a friend in SF and finally sold it in LA for $1100.

Here are my cars:

1999 Z3M coupé, i have it for about 13 years, it has been prepared to race a little bit:

And my rare 1975 Innocenti Mini, the Italian version of it with more additional parts when they were sale brand new (chrome, front disk brake...)
I have it for 3 years now, it was really in bad shape and wasn't running great but with elbow grease and several spare parts, it's finally a little bomb that smoke a lot of small cars

Before:

And after:

And a photo of the 2 girls before the paint job:

@endo absolutely

@endo damn..what an adventure that must have been

[endo]

yes, @Inorganic a great trip, and all before internet and mobiles

[Inorganic]

@endo i try to explain to my son (10) the freedom of those times. I feel bad for the young generations of today/tomorrow that that moments are likely gone - but via social media/mobiles they will have an awareness of the world that we didn't. good with the bad i suppose.

I also find it difficult to judge here. Then, it was freedom and adventure. And more individuality, more contrast. But now it enables possibilities that were unthinkable then. If they are used ...
