    You wouldn't want the Integrale?

    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    iirc the Delta Integrales were a rally spec car from the era of The first Audi Quattros (now that is a PROPER car) I believe there were reliabilty issues (they were Italian after all) and left hand drive only. Wouldn't put me off having one though.

    Not over the Zagato Aston.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Ah right I didn't realise we could only have one.

    In that case I agree. I mean you never see Bond driving an Integrale.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    My fav's the V8 vantage, by a country mile, followed by the F1, because it's a proper sports car and fast as fuck (in the right way)!

    However, that Roller is just HIDEOUS, and everything the classic one's weren't, with the Bentley marginally less so. I wouldn't take either though in a gift, except to sell immediately!!

    Some belters there... Love the Ford F100 (cool as fuck), although that one has been overly pimped, not very tastefully either!

    Ditto the Ferrari 330 GTC, Camaro 427, Carrera GT, Ford Mustang, but NOT in that colour and Nissan GTR.

    Yeah they're just wedding cars. And the Maclaren might be superbly engineered but owning one looks like you're trying too hard.
