Seem to have a yearning for this parked on the drive. All 3 tonnes of it!

Wanted one of these for years. Have no use for it. Wonder if anyone’s done a cool engine conversion in one? Hmmm

I don’t know if it counts as cool but a few of these have gone electric in California, I believe.

I acted on a strange yearning and am now the proud owner of an original Audi RS6 saloon thats been off the road since 2014.

Were you suckered in by the "Easy fix but never had time" that all sellers put on their adverts?

Pretty timid for this thread, but I've always wanted a Citroen C6, and I still do.

I don't know if you're brave, foolish or both!

Was my Mother-in-laws. Previously Audi dealer demonstrator, she bought it when it was two months old and had it ever since. Change in circumstances meant it was garaged in 2014. 47000 miles from new.

So I know pretty much everything about it, so felt the gamble was worth risking.

For a second I thought it might be an LS-swapped Audi 80!

I know it will be rubbish. But rumbling around with the roof down in one of these for a summer has an appeal.

This has been living in my head rent-free since I started playing Snowrunner a few months ago.

Lovely looking things and as the early Porsches were in effect posh Beetles, there is a good amount of tuning kit available for these, just as for the Beetle. Would be fun to have a tuned one but with absolutely no external clues.

I've been looking at picking up a cheap wagon for camping/outdoor trips. SUVs don't quite cut it and proper stuff like Landrovers/Wranglers are too expensive! Have an urge for one of these, very cheap as they aren't fashionable, acres of room with the third row down and plenty of room for sleeping in the back if needed. Thinking a proper roof rack or roof tent and a bike rack. Could be prefect

When Hyundai launched the Porest motorhome, it was mocked for being ludicrously ugly, although brilliantly specced for the price. But I really like it. Unfortunately, not officially available in the UK

I really fancy an automatic Lexus IS200. I know it's not really that bizarre, but they're slow, thirsty, 4-speed auto, probably boring and come with a bit of a strange image. However, they're extremely cheap to buy, reliable, RWD, 6-cylinder, nice to be in and i think the exterior is really nice too.

But I want one. (FJ Cruiser)

Yes, but in yellow & white only

Are they any good off road, or really just for black top.
