What boring cars did you really desire once upon a time?

Um, I'm 34 and I'm still aspiring to one of those!

I still think they are a very good looking car. It is very smart. Also, thanks for posting a picture - at the time it would not let me.

When I was a kid I used to dream of owning a Bedford Rascal...

I was on my iPhone and I could only send the link. I could not save the picture in my Photo Album on that specific website. It only allowed me to zoom in or send/copy the link.

Volvo 480ES or Turbo. Are they boring? Still not made my mind up about that one, but have no interest in them now

I wanted my Dad to get one so much, but he bought a 240 estate instead... I agree though, not sure if they qualify as boring

Granada Scorpio.

Indeed, just for the button on the bottom of the seat



I fancy buying one for the sheer hell of it.

All because I had a toy one with a steering wheel that was mounted on the roof to make the front wheels steer. TBH 'd still have one but it would need some sort of mental engine conversion to sleeper it up!

My first car LOL. Mind, it was 1989 and that sweet 12 valve Honda engine was quick enough to make it a bit of a sleeper. Sort of.

I used to want a Ford Probe when they came out. I was about 10 at the time

We must be about the same age, a 24v probe looked so futuristic I wanted one.

I remember being 18 (1985) and quite fancying a Volvo 740 Estate. I guess I got into barges at an early age. I also remember loving my mates big old Granada 3l. I got my own slightly newer 2.8 not so long after.

Just thinking back to when I was a kid, for some strange reason I really, really wanted a 3 door Ford Maverick. I got the brochures from a Ford dealer, drew pictures of them, even worked out how many years it would take for me to save up and buy one(with pocket money??!)

Ironic really as I could probably pick one up for less than a grand now!

Any odd car desires you can remember from childhood or early motoring life that you laugh at now?!

(Naming genuinely great cars that you'd still have now doesn't count!)

Vauxhall Omega
Volvo S60
Ford Granada
Jag XJ6
Austin Metro (Mainly to make a 6R4 out of though, so probably doesnt count!)

Actually looking at that list I really do have a thing for big motorway barges!!!

[ClaphamGT3]

When I was about 8 I wanted a Tahiti Blue TR7 so much that it hurt.....

[jontymo]

Datsun 120Y!!!!!!!!!

For some reason loved being in 1 when i was a teenager!

[Fox-]

I really, really wanted a Peugeot 306 DTurbo.

My first car was a volvo 360 glt but for some reason i really fancied a volvo 440,i was very young and stupid!

Other youthfull hankerings were a probe,mitsy gto,nissan 300zxtt and a green goddess,ive grown out of the of the formers but will have a goddess one day!

Calibra turbo

[carlingofblack]

Montego 2.0EFi. When I was 9, we had a C reg 1.6L in brown. It sucked.

Toyota Corolla Twincam-16 - the hype far outweighed the experience.

[8potdave]

Lots! As a kid I wanted a Cavalier, by the time I was driving it was a Corsa Gsi. They are the only two I'm admitting to though

[driverrob]

[shame]Nearly 20 years ago I remember thinking the new Mitsubishi Carisma looked quite good (in comparison to my Datsun Cherry).[/shame]
