Ok, maybe not so unusual to desire such a thing

It suffered various mishaps including the time I put it into a field on the Northern Lights Road Rally back in the mid 70s.

My navigator was a nice chap, but sometimes forgot which way we were going relative to the map - calling out the road to me:-

" 100 yards - 90 left".....BANG...."I mean right......sorry.."

Happy Days

I marshalled on the Northern Lights back in the early nineties!

Other cars that come to mind without including the unobtainables are:

Alfa GTV6
Fiat Coupe 20v
VW Corrado VR6
Mk1 Astra GTE
Audi Quattro

This is the post I relate to best. Bar the sd1 and the astra, I adore each of these cars, especially the 1275gt.
I suppose this is the place to mention the Toyota AE86 to

I'd also love an Alfa 156 Gta..

For me it has to be the Lancia Stratos.

Not exactly something to lust over, but this was one of my earliest cars. A mate wrote it off into a tree on a pub run. £35K for this one.

This was another one, just £10K now. Lovely whitewall tyres and lots of lights.

Are they as fast as Richard Prior made out they are in The Burbs?

What's that Tut? I'm sure I have a picture of me as a baby with my mum sitting on the bonnet of one of these. Zodiac, Zephyr?

A mate and I bought one of these in the early 80's to customise

a runner without MOT, sadly we never got to drive it as my mate got caught shagging the owners wife so he kept our £100 AND the car
