View Full Version : Cars you lust over
Hiya all thought of this while having my 100th Baileys drink.
Post some images here of your favourite cars in the world, or some custom jobs.
Few rules
1) No topless or nudity around the cars.
2) No Adult content with the cars in ANYWAY lets not get this shut down this is meant to be fun.
3) Keep heavy debate in pm lets not have a free for all.
And with the above, and anymore should a mod see fit I shall kick it off with some from my mega collection of images.
I can't post a pic of my convertable then, as it contravenes rule 1) ;)
LOL nope I dont want this one closing before we get going :P
America Muscle. Dont make them like this anymore.
:drool:
Personally the red Honda is my fav there, 12000rpm :shocked: Vtec engine...gimme... :naughty: :drool:
and my fav of all time, unfortunately they do not make them any more.

Wow, I remember the good old days when the admin team made the rules :D
Anyone got a pic of a metallic blue Focus RS? That'll do for me :)
ROFL Russ ;) . Sorry been a mod on another board before coming here, sadly the owner, moved onto other things and we disbanded.
Andrew, did you ask SDA's permission for the lust over trademark? :D
ik
I am sure I could arrange a deal ;)
Especially due to the mass posting I have done there, perhaps we could negotiate a deal of a merger. :rofl:
Someone said they liked the MR2 Toyota old shape?
They are both Bond cars, but I find the Aston Martin Vanquish and the Lotus Esprit to be quite sexy.. The Esprit looks a bit dated now, but when you start the engine, by god does it sound like it means business..
That would be me......I love the Toyota MR2 Mk 2, it is the best car of all time in my onion.... :D
ik
p.s. here is another of my favs from last year
Both are very classy cars. One of my favourites has to be this one though.
8mpg*
*when going downhill...in neutrel, with a following wind...and a push.*
But man what a vehicle.
I don't think the esprit looks dated, I think it still looks the business.
ik
The Esprit looks Old Skool now, with fancy Aero Dynamic lines and vents and Carbon Fibre bodywork with high comp pistons and supercharged computerised injection systems.
Take the old shape Mazda Rx-7 into consideration still a mega fast car today, and uses the ****al engine, a engine without pistons, mega fun to drive.
Just that engine name ( please no puns lets keep it clean ) :erm:
Another nice vehicle, is this pickup truck.
3.6litre v8 engine
:drool:
it has now went downhill with the pickup trucks.
:(
ik
Ya just saying that, so this wont tempt ya back?
NO,
I am not a fan of german cars, I prefer:
Toyota MR2 mk2
Mazda 6 TS2, RX8
Honda Civic typeR, Accord typeR, S2000, Integra typeR
Ferrari 360 Modena (fav), Testerossa
Lamborghini Countach, Diablo, Mercialugo (spelling)
Mitsubishi EVO 8 (I want one)
Lexus IS200
Hyundai Coupe
Astin Martin DB series (vanquish)
Seat Leon 1.8 v20 (owned by a german company I know, I have a 1.6 s)
Audi TT (only german car I would like)
McLaren F1
Lotus Esprit, elise (and newer)
that's all I can think of
I hate:
Mercedes, BMW, pick ups, Hummers
more to follw, I need to think/see what I like and dislike.
ik
I want this, 1953 Cadillac Coup Deville or, the 1970 Dodge Challenger (middle) but I could be persuaded into owning a 1970 Chevelle (right)
Nice list and very nice taste my friend.
First of many from the list to arrive to this thread.
Lotus Elise, very nice love this colour and shape of it.
Oh and KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand)
:D
ik
I also Like bikes too, like the:
Yamaha R1
Honda Fireblade
Ducatti 999
Triumph Daytona
LOL here is KITT
:cheers:

Were you at the Motor Show too? Poor Paul had to prise me away from the Aston Martin stand!
No sadly I wasnt but I know plenty who was so hence all the images, that and a well used search engine.
I have loads of Aston images from the old to the DB9 latest.

and at only £29,000 much better value for money than the only car with a higher placing on their laptimes leader board.

Forgot to mention the van has its own power source and 4mb Satellite internet plus computer in the back. :)
My personal fav Aston Martin.
Oooh Yeah!!
Edit: Ok even I cant keep that up as a joke :D :D
ROFL a Nova???
Get some muscle under that hood.

Automotively speaking, we think so alike it is worrying.

I kinda lust over my current car I guess...
MY04 WRX with prodrive performance pack, prodrive WR spoiler and springs .....
and of course ISOfix baby seat fixing that attaches firmly (required of course;) )
A mad purchase soon after baby arrived but quite a lot of fun :)

First car is due here, sooo want one of these..family had one a while back but sadly got wrote off in a major accident. My father has decided now to stay of road, so trying to slip myself one over from states.
In case anyone is wondering, that red pick up in #59 is the Dodge Ram SRT-10. (http://www.dodge.com/srt-10/index.html)
It is a regular Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, but with the Dodge Viper engine and tranny. It is 500hp, making it the world's fastest production truck (Unless Ford produces their new SVT Lightning in 06/07), with performance like the Viper, and stops in the same space as a WRX which is incredible especially for a pickup. And it is only $46,000. God I love this country. The UK is so ridiculously anti-car. ATM $45k = 23k quid. What will that get you back in the UK?
Dont know, dont care, just give me the truck :D
So love that bad boy machine..
Engine sound is dreamy aswell, mainly due to me being sick of high revvy engines, give me big CC and lots of tourque.
. And it is only $46,000. God I love this country. The UK is so ridiculously anti-car. ATM $45k = 23k quid. What will that get you back in the UK?
That's why America accounts for more than 45% of the world's pollution (while accounting for less than 5% of the world's population)...
Anyway, surely the Mini Cooper S (which admittedly doesn't have the carrying capacity) would out-perform it while costing £15,000 ?
not the speed mate.
Just the power...that sound...that size...that look...
For those who like it then its a nice car, very inpratical and likely to make your wife leave you beacause of Fuel Bill ( no shoes! you mad i want a divorce :angel: )

aston martin DBR9 (even the DB9 will do I suppose, but the DBR9 is..... nope - there are no words...)
have a look in the gallery section...

Ah, I don't normally watch TG these days, but I caught a bit of this one with the Ariel Atom and that is one *seriously* insane bit of kit!
IIRC it costs about £22,000 , does 0-60 in *two point nine seconds* (if you didn't see it you should have seen the effects of the G-forces on Jeremy Clarkson!) and their driver Stig took it around their test track in a speed that put it in second place on their list of cars *ahead* of the Porsche Carrera and only just behind half a million quid's worth of Ferrari!

Performance is nothing like equal. the 0-60 of the supercharged model is 7 seconds. Fast by UK standards, but not really in the big picture. The fastest budget cars in the UK are the WRX STI and the Evo, which are £30k each. In the US they are $30k, and that isn't even taking into account insurance and petrol, which are much cheaper in the US too.
And here we go. The old you-have-a-car-so-you-are-destroying-the-world guilt trip. You should be guilt tripping people with older cars and trucks as they are nothing like as clean as modern vehicles.

Sorry, didn't mean to lay a guilt trip on you... Didn't mean to sound like I was having a go either...
Sorry I was not wondering.

Two old supercars that would still kick the arse of most cars on the road today, the TVR Cerbera & the Lotus Carlton.
Cerbera 4.5 V8
Engine type / Capacity (cc)
Speed Eight 75 degree alloy V8 engine / 4475
Max Power 420 bhp @ 6750 rpm
Max Torque 380 lbs.ft @ 5500 rpm
Max Speed (mph) 190+
0 - 60 mph (sec) 3.9
0 - 100 mph (sec)8.3
0 - 150 in 17.9 secs
Price (£) 46500
Sorry I was not wondering.
:D
ik
eh?
Sorry, didn't mean to lay a guilt trip on you... Didn't mean to sound like I was having a go either...
Ahh sorry mate. No worries. I am a bit touchy when it comes to cars sometimes.
not everyone likes the new style of BMW, and even fewer like the normal attitude of the cars drivers.
But the cars are lovely to drive esp the big lazy engined models with electronics for everything.
Well you can all keep your supercars, for me, all i want is a biggish pick-up, functional and all, even throw in a column gear change ( and throw the kids in the back :naughty: :p: ) :shrug:

I wonder if the 'Ariel' tag signifies a revolution in design like the motorbikes did, but was never recognised - why did the 'square 4' fail & the honda 4 succeed - apart from the handling, of course.......
The 250cc twin two stroke was the nearest to a 'racing' bike for the era, that I remember - even better than Matchless & the AJS csr14, sorry nostalgia isn't what it used to be ;)

The square 4 failed because the 2 rear pistons overheated & seized due to no airflow
The honda 4 succeeded coz all 4 pots were in the wind and they had a decent oil pump & a crankcase/gearbox that contained the pressure & the oil ;)
Having said that, some Arials were 'Leaders'
This car handles nice i think its a Tuned up Elise.
Thats a Lotus 340R, chassis may be similar to Elise's though.

According to the site that price doesn't include taxes.

Probably doesn't as nothing seems to out here. Sales Tax out here though is only 6-7%.

True, and I wouldn't say no if someone bought one for me...
Saw these and my gf said " I want one" so I know when they or if they come out what I shall be paying off. :erm:
Nice car though, well I like look of it.
I don't it's a Peugeot.
ik
We have had Peugeot Diesels all my life and they are excellent engines shame about the electrics and other issues with the 307 we had...
My downstairs neighbour has bought 3 different ones, and they all ended up having the same thing worng, the suspension, or more aptly the shocks go after a year, the garage always says he is rallying it, but when his dad took it in, they said it is a common fault.

It has ceramic brakes that can catch fire under extreme braking.
