Cars! - Page 25

I like the old-new style of the Ford Thunderbird that they started making again. I like the Mini too.

god i miss driving.... my first car was a 1974 Datsun 1600 - I loved that thing. 1600 engine, rear wheel drive, turboed - the most fun car i ever had. Little rally thing that loved to be thrown around. Followed that with a Suzuki Swift GTi - had a lot of fun in that thing too. All in all, I prefered my Datto - but I liked the Swift. Had a R33 Skyline GTS-t after that, which a lot of people loved, and for raw horsepower was hard to top - but i found it heavy and cumbersome and got sick of the insane insurance I was paying on it... Sold it and bought a Mitsubishi FTO GP version R, which I custom imported into Australia from Japan. That car rocked. Turned so many heads. Only thing I didnt like was the front wheel drive, which cost me some drift points (esp compared to the Skyline), but on the whole, I much prefered it. Plenty fast enough for my needs...and then I moved to Asia and have driven about five times in five years.

I was in of my neighbours garage and came across this beauty:

That really is very depressing.

Yup, almost half a year old and less than one thousand miles on it.

My next car (dream car  ) would be the W12 Audi A8.

I must say there is nothing, just nothing, like a V-12. They redefine smooth, and have unerring presence. Sad about the governor, though, unless it is near the actual top end. Roy, less than a thousand? It is sad to see that all the recent used Astons available always have really low mileage -- I suppose those who can afford them tend to have drivers, and the ones who do enjoy them never sell them.
