Re: Schoolboy's Car Dreams - Name the top 3 brands

anyway, after all your posts, are you going to change avatar soon or not?

As they say.. never count chickens...



Hamtaro (ie i) is still my daily drive and would be perfect if only...
a. I had better suspension (coilovers methinks)
b. I had better traction (wider tyres/rims)
c. I had better brakes and possibly most important...
d. other cars don't bully him as much!!

Lancia Integrale
Lotus Esprit
Countach/Diablo

The first I read about somewhere - about being an unassuming car, blessed with a crazy engine. The Lotus - "The Spy Who Loved Me, James Bond" and The Countach... well.

While I could never afford a Ferrari or Lamborghini when I was young (nor will I be able to from the look of things), I understand where centurion is coming from

My Dad was a petrolhead as much as I was, and I grew up with a staple of US car magazines (often peppered with scantily clad girls! haha so you can imagine what a heady mix the fast cars and fast women made during my younger years)

ps I just remembered another car I dreamed about.

The Lancia Stratos.

Did anyone else play those "card games" with specs of all the top cars (they also had sets for airplanes/jetfighters/navy ships etc)?

Card games: Top Trumps! Yes! Pininfarina Modulo concept, that was my wet dream. Plus, of course, the Lotus Esprit from `The Spy who loved me'.

SOMETHING has rotary engine but I am not sure it's the RR. Probably the Mazda Cosmo ... and YES, Rotary engine wins - though with current knowledge, Rotary Engine is actually lowest.

Mazda Cosmo. No one in the world apart from Mazda ever produced a road going car with a Rotary Engine in it. Even today - the RX-8 is the one and only rotary engined car in production.

Rotaries were covered very well in last month's Sport Car International. With great passion, i might add.

Rotaries have one nice thing now - ability to take biofuel and mixes without conversion.

And looking forward to the twin turbo version in the RX7 version 3.

Must guiltily say that the Porsche 924 and 928 were objects of my pleasure in my stupid youth. Not to say anything less for these cars, but I was wrong.

Re: Schoolboy's Car Dreams - Name the top 3 brands

When I was a kid, I didnt know the name Porsche, Lambo or Ferrari. Sorry I am from a small town so a bit behind in that aspect.

The only car that I really liked alot and wished to really own it was Ford TX3, a hatchback that has won Sumatra's SONY rally championship. Saw my senior student driving that car to school...drooling like mad. I still remember exactly how the car looks like, so vivid.
