Both the Countach and the whale-tail 911 of the 80s. Wonderful cars!

Ford RS 500, RS 2000 Custom, RS 200, Capri X-Pack and 2.8i special and er, cough- a few Quo posters . I loved my Fords back then but only ever got to own one of them, the 2.8i Spec, probably my all time fav after this one of course...

Shelby Cobra had balls on it's balls & did it for me!
It was overshadowed somewhat with WW2 P51 Mustang pictures though - that V12 Merlin on full song is a sound that's hard to beat - been addicted to them ever since!

For me it had to be the famous White Lamborghini Countach.

I could learn something here: that car in the poster with number 104 on the side looks like a kingswood but clearly with a different front end. Were they sold elsewhere as something different?

Big thumbs up for the HF Integrale I still dream of owning an Evolution model in black, I had mainly Brock Commodores on my walls. The VH Grp3 Brock Commodore was always my favourite. If someone more computer savvy happens to find a pic and post it I would grateful.

Used to play Top trumps...You would always try and get the Ferrari BB 512 or the Jaguar XJS..eek (it had a lot of power but not top speed!!)

For me, One of the Group B rally cars! in fact any of them really!!!
Used to love the Peugeot 205 T16 and the bonkers Metro 6R4.
Another one I liked was one I rarely saw on the tv, Martin Schanche's 4WD Escort rallycross car..looked so sedate but would kill the rest on the track!
Later in life the Audi S8 from Ronin.

It wasnt Martin Schanche's RS200 that killed everyone on the track, it was his driving!! Fond memories of watching that bloke, he was alwasy up against Will Gollops 6R4 Metro as remember it, but Will (and everyone else!) had a bit more respect for their machine.
