Guilty motoring pleasures...
Discussion
I'm sure we're all hiding secrets! Submit pictures of crap cars which you may have a secret desire for, or perhaps something equally as shameful that you've owned already which you had a soft spot for. You might be slightly embarrassed, or ashamed to admit these guilty pleasures!
Forget the PH's "purist" attitude, it doesn't matter whether it's a crapbox from the 80's, or it's a brand spanking new Range Rover "Footballers Edition".
Let it all out and don't be ashamed any more!!!
For me, it's the Datsun 240z with a wide arch conversion... Not the best example, but it's soooo damn pretty!! Drop in a big lazy V8 and I'm in heaven!!
Some may not see this as a guilty pleasure... but I'm sure many purists would hate this. In a recent thread it caused a bit of controversy!
I WANT!!!

I still like the look of 106 GTI's and Saxo VTR/VTS. 
Me too. I had a VTR from new. Catastrophic depreciation aside, it was HUGE fun to throw around!I'm rather keen on the Volvo V50. Very fine looking estate IMO. Shame it's FWD only.
And this just looks dead cool IMO - my parents had one in the 70s.
I would love a nicely modded Nova.
This one is not too bad, needs a bit of cut and weld and paintwork to stop the door rotting away completely but it look to be in fairly good condition.

I'd want the full old skool boy racer spec though, 4-2-1 manifold, decat, stainless steel 2.5" straight through exhaust with a 5" tip, lowered on coilovers etc. Would be a total timewarp, and no doubt a reminder how far chassis strengthening has come!
