Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.


Am I right in saying a PHer owns one?

[Lets Torque]

If your thinking of Stu R then he will be getting one later this year.

He has just bought a Chevy Silverado in the mean-time.

I have a rather strange obsession with the Nissan GTR, if I won £50m tomorrow it would be the first car I would buy and it is my next car hopefully.

I love the fact that it has biblical speed and power, yet its "only" a Nissan. I'm not drawn in by badges and I aint really fussed on the more exotic stuff (fezzas, masers etc), bar perhaps a 997 GT3/RS/Turbo. I found AM especially boring (I'm only 24)...

However, last week I was followed by a DB9 and thought it looked really menacing, the desire soon faded. Today however, I see something in my rear view mirror, slow to almost a crawl for it to catch up, it soon became clear it was an AM V8V, the car was burgundy with gun metal alloys and red calipers - I genuinly can't stop thinking about that car....

With the £11k GTR minor bump thread in the forefront of my mind, my new target may just be the V8V!

I didn't even know they made them like that. Would one fit on my drive?

[Egg Chaser]

No idea why.

Better to obsess about this

Not to everyone's taste, but I love its rear view. Like a modern Triumph GT6, and I can't think of another car this side of an Aeromax that achieves a similar effect with its tail.

Like a modern GT6.... never thought of that... yes it is in a way... I also like these....

Having been lucky enough to drive one recently, my current obsession is a Caterham Roadsport (preferably with the 2 litre Duratec engine).



I never really liked them that much, but now I understand the appeal.

There's been an absolutely glorious Mercedes W123 (I think - may have been earlier) parked outside the office lately. So I'm going for something like this today:



Possibly a derv version running on chip fat to waft along the motorways.

I'm not in a position to buy right now but I hope to be in a few months... I actually went to a BMW dealer to see a black Z4 coupé today... parked under a tree, covered in sap (for a good while, by the feel of the texture of sap/dirt on the paintwork) and uncared for in the corner of their compound... Scratches on the front bonnet... Clearly uncared for. I know it'd be superficial but if they can't be bothered ot make sure the bodywork's in shape, I dread to imagine what state the oily bits are in. So much for BMW Approved Used Cars. When I've got the wedge together I'll look for one privately, methinks.

EDIT: I wouldn't test drive one til I'm ready to buy. I'm not there to waste a salesman's time. But a bit of factfinding doesn't hurt.

Lovely old buses. My dad has a 2.8 straight six powered coupe version tucked away for sunny days.... HUGE car, wafts so well

Boring though it may seem I've become obsessed with Subaru Legacy wagons this week so far. I really, really want one, to the point where I'm having silly thoughts... I don't even know why I like them so much!
