chartoo Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 I also like anything made by decorides Quote
nizm0zed Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Dream car? Nope, cant pick just one.... There are several i would love to own, but at the end of the day, i think the only way id be happy with just one dream car would be with a blank cheque and my own personal team of designers, ala the 'Homer' Quote
zr240 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Thats a good choice lurch love the speed 12. Shame they neverit them into production. I have an articale on them when they were checking it on the dyno and tge dyno broke at 1000hp! Quote
Sirpent Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 If only they would put it into production, complete with the front mounted "Flux Capacitor" LOL Just goes to show that the boys as Broardie can go one better than a Vette or Mustang. Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted July 19, 2011 Administrators Posted July 19, 2011 eagle speedster just got my vote http://www.octanegossip.com/driving-blog/eagle-speedster-bespoke-e-type-jaguar/ Yeah Clarkson was raving about it on Top Gear a couple of weeks back. Nice car, but hefty price tag that's for sure. Quote
zzzzed Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Yeh. That episode only aired here just last night. Hence why I put I. Up Quote
Aliangus Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 + another one for the eagle speedster. I've always preferred the Jag XK120 shape though - would be interesting if the company that made the E-type into the speedster gave the same treatment to one of them. Quote
chartoo Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 The growler is another re imagining of the e type also avalaible at a riduculous price Quote
zzzzed Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 With the eagle speedster they took every thin. I didn't like about the e type and fixed it Quote
chris240 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 meeeh...jags smags. give me a 72 valiant with 3 on the tree anyday Quote

luvemfast Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 meeeh...jags smags. give me a 72 valiant with 3 on the tree anyday I almost got me one those, how bouts a '71 Charger with triples and 4 on the floor..... I had a 71 VG Pacer hardtop. It was 3 on the floor. Wasn't very nice to drive but hot damn I was the coolest MoFo around when driving it! Quote
chris240 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 hehe when I was 18 my parents had a 69 Valiant VF regal 318ci...It was white with a black vinyl roof, that Val flew...it was nicknamed the "Thunderchicken", and my pride & joy uptill the mid 90's was a totally mint 74 VJ charger...I should never have sold it and yes, the eagle speedster is not too shabby.

chev z Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Speaking of chargers I reckon the American 1968 to 1970 coke bottle shape Charger is hard to go past and they sound brilliant Did anyone see the front cover of the Full Circuit mag. March 2011 edition , it shows the Nissan ESFLOW concept. Forget that it's electric and think how cool it would look as the next Z model with a high performance petrol power plant I personally think it would outsell the 350z and 370z, to me the ESFLOWs shape is more in line with the original 240 Z...luv it Quote

I think they have so much potential and we should have junked Internal Combustion years ago. That's my opinion I know others will disagree, but for me the whole concept or requiring oil and fuel and air + spark is just well antiquated when you compare to the simplicity of electric. I've watched a couple of documentaries about it, "Who killed the electric car" was interesting and whilst I do admit I'll miss the sound an excitement of a petrol engine when you really think about it working on electric cars will be far cleaner. We can of course still have the old school cars as a hobby / antique / restoration thing, but electric will be the daily driver and I'm thinking lots less headache's too. I love this electric drag car. Quote
AussieZed Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 (wipes drool off chin) I want all of those!! I own two of my dream cars ... my 240z (obviously) .... and my other toy...http://www.wildtoys.com/vehicross/VX_MyPics/VX3quarter2007_600.jpg Quote
perrin_07 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 eleanor. - i think Jeremy Clarkson puts it best...."POWER!" but i do do love the camaro z28. http://ref-chevrolet.info/chevrolet-camaro-z28.html the car i fell in love with at such a young age. http://www.seriouswheels.com/jkl/Jaguar-XJ220-Australia.htm Quote

I love this electric drag car. Sweet, someone else that thinks just like me. I'm going a step farther and making EVs part of my hobby. I have a 1985 GMC Jimmy (A little SUV) that I am converting to EV. I plan to daily drive it, and in time with some upgrades I have planned, after the initial "get it working phase," tow long distance with it. Quote
