So what car have you been obsessing about today?? (Vol 2)

[Crusoe]

Not sure how much bork potential it has (probably a lot) but like the sound of a manual supercharged straight six jag in British Racing Green.

Alpina B3 Touring.

When I said the D3 was pointless on the Alpina forum, as saving £80 a month on a car costing £900 a month isn't worth sacrificing 60bhp and a sweet straight six for, I got shot down.

The first new car I've seen for a long while that I really want

After seeing the Chevette saloon in beige going around Swansea recently, and then the HS hatchback and Firenza in this weekends Harry Flatters rally (Firenza driven by Jimmy McRae no less!). Also remembering my Dads stories about his Ventora. I really fancy a slice of old school vauxhall...

Fond memories of those

Is that a picture of a diecast model??

It is!!!

Just seen the image on a high res monitor and you can see the model company in the bottom right.

As a kid one of the teachers at the local art school had a Manta with the Opel racing graphics on it.

dam cool cars, quite like the idea of a tatty one with a XE on ITBs to "abuse"

Saw a lovely Alfa Romeo this morning

The lovely Renault Clio 182 Trophy!

I start a new role on Monday which would mean that my weekly mileage could dramatically decrease meaning I wouldn't need a car with creature comforts and whatnot. If my new role has the potential to be permanent, I do see myself being very tempted by a Trophy when a immaculate example appears in the Classifieds. It would HAVE to be a Trophy though because I am sold in such a way that a standard 182 wouldn't suffice. To reference a quote from Jeremy Clarkson;

You will pull up to the lights one day in your 182 (for example) when a Trophy (example) will pull up alongside and.....

Never owned a Jag, or even considered one, but was sat outside a bar last night and and XKR sat there and fell for the looks big time, and as it pulled away it sounded superb.

I have been thinking of selling the ML and getting a B3 Touring, but my wife said, why not keep the ML and get one of those?

So found this on autotrader.......

You hold onto her. The wife that is!!!

Wish Mrs K made such wise suggestions!

[BenMk3]

Fell in love with my normal Puma again, really wish I could have one of these



Perhaps more realistically



My own car, but fully repaired/restored/modified to how I'd want it. New exhaust/all the rust repaired/tracking sorted/wheels refurbed/lowered slightly/lambda sensor replaced etc, the list goes on for a while

I just reminded myself in another topic that these exist:



Too much want.

Not a single 164 or 166 for sale on ebay

Nearly bought a 164 wish I had.

There's a nice XKR locally to me...black with cream leather. Looks fantastic (much better than green/grey IMO) and as you say, sounds great.

Why not a DC2/DC5? Or do you just have something for Clios/Renaults? Just asking.

I can't afford the insurance on an import so a DC5 is out the question, and besides i wouldn't want to use a DC2/5 as a daily and i am not in a position to keep 2 cars; and i want something relatively new(ish) for daily duties.

melvster said:

DC5's have been on my mind for a few days....

I reckon a DC5 would be fine as a daily..

[va1o]

Change of role means I might be working on the road a lot more, so potentially going to need something that can eat up the miles whilst returning reasonable economy. This would do the job nicely
