or DeTomaso Pantera GT5S or Lamborghini Countach

or possibly a custom Mach1 Mustang.

or possibly a Koenig tuned Jaguar XJ220.

Dont want to get flamed so I wont say what I dont like :D

No joke, I have seen almost every sports/supercar in the world with my own eyes, and heard/seen a lot of them running.

Those are great classics, look better in real life. Straight six 3 litre with 3 carbs, try keeping it in tune for very long :D , not only that, but your boots will melt to the floor over where the exhaust runs!

BMW Z3 Coupé (which i am buying in about a month, by the way :stickout :D) and the Ferrari Testarossa ...which is a nice car for the price you pay (US$ 314.000).

Ah, I have 2 cars I love:

1) Ferrari Maranello - RED ONLY with black interior

2) Merceded CL 55 (AMG) - In black

What do I drive now? BMW M3 (2001)....the other cars are a large step up :) I feel so puny in my car now :)

I'm pretty sure it's a Plymouth Barracuda.

It's so unfair that the car prices in the US are the same as here in Europe, but that you guys have an average income that is 2 times higher! And your taxes are much lower also! :mad:

Anyway, I drive a Renault Megane Cabrio Kaleido (2000) now, which I'm very happy with. (not sure if you guys know "Renault", so here's the link, http://www.renault.com/gb/produits/cabriolet.htm )

Yeah, its a plymouth Barracuda.

Very Rare Car.

I run an immaculate Volvo740 thats 15 years old (hope to custom it to Pontiac V8 someday :) ) and a show winning TR7 Convertible that spends more time under a dust sheet than on the road :(

A friend of mine that likes these old cars has said to me that the model of the car of Nash Bridges is called (i don't know if officially or not) a Emy-cuda (or emi-cuda, maybe?)

This Emy (emi?) was a big V8 engine , an the emy-cuda was a restricted series with came with this motor...

If I'm not wrong, the car is owned by Don Johnson, himself...

Well, I always has thinked that the guy was a moron, but at least he's a moron with a great car!!!

And my pesonal favorite it's the Cougar... But you all don't know how difficult is to find one of then here in BRazil... :(

1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible with a 426 Hemi engine and twin Carter AFB four-barrels that puts out 490 torque and 425 HP.

Better question for me would be dream bike...

as for car, my realistic dream is a japanese subaru Impreza wrx with custom exaust and a pumpin stereo. I say japanese issue because they come stock with mor HP possibly 300+, but i would settle for a north american one too.

I dont want to get into my unrealistic dreams!

Here in India, the ultimate we get is the Mercedes S Class and soon the Bentley Arnage - costs the equivalent of a big posh apartment in Manhattan.

For now I have to settle for a Ford Ikon Rally Sport.

We used to see many of those Holdens in India years ago. The ones especially from the fifties/sixties were quite interesting cars. Later they were little different from other GM cars. I remember once in the eighties, seeing identical cars from Holden , Opel, Vauxhall and Isuzu all together near my Home. The Isuzu was a Gemini diesel belonging to a friend and light beige colored. all the rest were white !. It was quite a sight.

Now Holdens are rarely if ever imported into India. Nowadays
Mitsubishi Pajeros' and Toyota Landcruisers are most popular.

Most of the imports in India are those that have been brought in by individuals . Therefore we get to see get to see cars which are rare in Europe/US such as Toyota Sera (The one with the gullwings) etc..

Did a search on it.

So thats what that odd little thing is, seen same one in the UK frequently (running around the city I live in) but I've never managed to get a close look. (people tend to get freaked out when I follow their cars for a look:D )

Matra, hmmm, suprised you didnt pick another make with that name :)

Well,
that reminds me of the Matra Simca Bagheera, a little French sports car with three abreast seating. Probably the only such car
ever. Wonder if they make it still.

Actually, my name here is derived from my actual full name and not really the car. That was a happy coincidence.

That reminds me of another French car the Renault 5 twin turbo a pocket rocket which makes a racket.

Best I know production ended a long time ago for those.

Good ones can be found but are rare, I've only ever seen a couple. Although I think its replacement the murena was better.
