There is a 1978 S reg black Scimitar with it's front end in the air in a village halfway between me and the coast, visible from the road when you are stuck at the lights, has been there since I learnt to drive in 1981 never moved an inch

All of the old Ferrari were amazing and my choice over any Lamborghini. Personal favourite maybe the 512BBi.MelvinsArmy wrote:I'd have a hard time choosing between any of these three:
From my own early cars the VW Golf GTI I Pirelli Edition 1983 with Porsche special colour is the one I´m missing. Very lightweight and short gearratio so even more fun than my current car with twice the power.

I always wanted a 1970 Chevelle SS....but I'd be happy if someone made a realistic 1/10 body.

Re: Cars from your youth
Huh? 288 GTOs were not grey market conversions, they were Ferrari's flagship in the mid-80s. Ferrari made 272 of them.flipwils11 wrote:You beat me to it! Yeah, that's a very cool car but they were all greymarket so some were converted better than others I'm told.jwscab wrote:the 308 isn't a 308....it's a 288 GTO, one of my all time favorites. Not too many made, 400 hp twin turbo V8.
I've heard the Vector had a nasty habit of lighting itself on fire.jwscab wrote:
so of those I could NEVER afford, the GTO above, as well as vector W2 were the ultimate.

Re: Cars from your youth
So it would be like owning a Ford then. 
A few years back there were some rumblings of Vector producing another car. Looking at their site it doesn't seem like much has happened. I'd still love to own one though!

I have always had a thing for the 80's turbo dodge Shelby cars. GLHS, CSX etc. Its always fun when you bust out a 12 sec pass in a 4 door omni

Austin Mini Cooper S
Mine took corners like a Tron Lightcycle!!
Cost £8 to fill the tank, beat everything to 60mph, and was the only time I came close to being the 'cool' kid in the neighbourhood!!

Do, or do not! There is no 'try'!
RC; Boats, Buggies, Trucks, Bash's, Racing and of course 'VINTAGE'!

Re: Cars from your youth
I couple weeks ago I had a dream that I was shopping for a Dino. I was riding around in a beautiful navy blue Dino and we drove past a red one that I had already checked out. It was a good dream.
Reg, the Stratos is one of my all time favorite cars as well.
If I could own any car that was ever made, it would be a Lamborghini Miura SV. An incredibly rare Miura SVJ, one of 5. I'd rather have an SV, but this car is amazing.
