You can keep them all.I'll have an E-type convertible please.

Bugatti, without a doubt, of those two... but if the rules are changing, I'll agree with your Shelby suggestion Barry - but make mine a Mustang GT500 - I need more than 2 seats!

Sorry I am very boring when it comes to cars Marco-I am a car hypochondriac, evry noise I hear when driving I think means that the car will break down any second. Plus I like gadgets which the Lexus has loads of. At the weekend I love driving my wifes Suzuki Grand Vitara-great driving position, nippy and fun.
Yep, each to his or her own matey :)
I'd have something 'practical' like that too for reliable long distance driving, and the other cars for fun to cruise around the country lanes near where I live.
You've gotta admit though, in terms of sheer style, individuality, and sleek looks, the classics above are in a different league altogether to anything made nowadays!

My views on classic cars have been tarnished by all the crap ordinary cars I have had in the past. A very nasty example was an Austin 1300GT. Looked nice when I bought it-white with a black plastic leather roof. It failed the MOT five times because of corrosion and the welder who repaired it ruined the seats with his blow torch. It had three gearboxes fitted and when I sold it the exhaust was blowing blue smoke because the piston rings were knackered.
I had a 1300GT and loved it, but like all of it's brethren it dissolved in the summer rains.
This is how some of it ended up:

is the reason I'm into American cars. When I was about 7, my dad swapped his Escort Van for a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible, V8, with Hurst manual 'box... Picked me up from school with the top down, the first I knew he was getting it! A bit different to most dad's Morris Marinas, Hilman Hunters and of course Cortinas at the time, don't you think!?
Been thinking about this and I've got to say, bearing in mind that I'm a bit of a petrolhead, if money was no object I wouldn't bother with cars at all, I would get myself a light plane (prop jobbie, twin engined) and smile to myself as I flew along the m-ways gazing down on the traffic jams.....

Too right, matey - that's a cool set of wheels for a dad to have! :respect:
There's definitely a certain charm and element of coolness with some 'brutish' American cars - I can't quite put my finger on it. For me, the golden age of cars (from most manufacturers) was the late 50s to late 60s. The style of design of some of the cars produced by prestigious manufacturers around that time (such as I have shown) were for me second to none and oozed pure class and sophistiction, which is the sort of look I love (American 'brute' cars aside) - I'm just that sort of guy ;)
Then CAD came in, f*cked it up, and everything lost its individuality! :steam:
Another one to add to my list...
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am:

Well, as no one else has taken the plunge, I'll post details of my pride(s) and joy. This is my current daily driver - 2008 Chrysler 300C - an (almost) sensible "American" car (American designed, but basically a Merc underneath as it was designed in the "Daimler Chrysler" days when Mercedes owned them.)
I love it to bits, though some people will probably think it is an Austin Tayshus (get it??!:lol:)

(The reg no I bought for my baby girl when she was born last year - September 21st - she's called Tamzin Daisy Laura.) I bet she won't think I'm a cool dad at all!!! My wife hates the car, and refuses to drive it. I love the fact that it is a bit different, plus it has a great Boston Acoustics sound system, which is ace! (WHF gave it 5 stars (really!) so it must be good!!! :eyebrows:) I love the built in sat-nav, don't know how I managed before!
And this is my weekend toy (since the two wheeled missile stays in the garage these days, on the count of not wanting to become an Organ Donor now I'm a dad...)

"Maggie" the 1991 Land Rover Defender spent many years doing charity work in Africa until I bought her last year to give her a well earned retirement here in Suffolk... then thrash her to within an inch of her life off-road! (Well, it's a Landy - they're supposed to do that...!)
This sounds a bit trite, but i really don't think I'd change either of them if money were no object... I would add some others though, 1969 Dodge Charger - a.k.a The General Lee a definite, Marco!

Although in a 'cost no object' dream world, it would be easy to go for the obvious 'boring' choice of a Veyron or something like a 250GTO, but if I could have anything, it would definately be an Aston, and one of the new ones at that.
In fact, it would be the new Aston V12 Vantage, which combines truely beautiful lines and a car which is relatively compact (just see a Lambo in the flesh to see what I mean), with that awesome V12 engine.....

And me - hence why I posted a pic earlier of said car! :)
For me, modern cars (as reliable and well-equipped as they are) lack 'soul' compared to the best vintage designs - it's a bit like valve amps and solid-state, or vinyl and digital ;)
Also, I like to be able to do some basic servicing on cars (change plugs, oil, air filter, etc) and be a bit 'hands on'. You can't do that with cars now - everything's bloody computerised!!
I also hate the way that CAD has destroyed individuality and made all cars a basic 'shape' (I value things in life that are bespoke and hand-made/built with 'love'), and the use of bloody plastic and cheap materials (even on expensive cars) instead of the likes of wood and chrome; everything is 'built to a price' now with out-and-out profitability being the main goal - I could go on...
Don't get me started on another area where freakin' computers have spoiled the 'romance' of life. Grrrr!!

Sorry can't help you there; I just typed in Cobra 427 into Google and chose the best image. I also like this one - bit more chrome, but not too much (and not enough to keep Coca Cola in business :eyebrows:).

Sorry Marco, but brutish is exactly the right word. Just look at the elegance of the original car, and compare it to the teenager's wet dream that resulted when a bloody great V8 was shoved up the poor thing's nose..

'Brutish' doesn't suit the Chelby - save that for Dodges and Transams!
I don't think there's ever been a car more suited to the 'brutish' title than a Shelby... It was a complete monster to drive.
Basically, take a Bristol Ace and shove a dirty great Ford V8 engine in it, and you have the Shelby Cobra.
A similar but slightly more refined approach is a Sunbeam Tiger - take another quaint British sportscar, (Sunbeam Alpine) and "bastardize" (sic!) it with a big (4.3L) American Ford V8

My tastes are quite modest. I really like the Alfa Brera but its probably not as good as it looks?

From what I've read it is very good,as long as you remember it is a GT car,not a sports car.I used to have a 166, best car I've ever owned.
