cool. I guess you would like also fiat126, the young brother My father's first car was "Zastava" cant't remember where were did produced, in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, whatever, but it was licensed 500. Maybe you will also like another polish miracle - syrenka 105 (the siren), it was powered by 3cylinder engine from waterpomp isn't it wonderful?
great choice Roman, although i prefer normal Testarossa from 80's - a symbol...had pleasure of driving one of those in south of France...quite uncomfortable, very noisy (forget about radio) but...it has a soul and 400 hp can take u into other dimension in a matter of seconds (it isn't really that hard to drive it) PS. last time i checked, prices start from 40000 euro
Is that a REAL Ferrari or a replica? The nose looks weird to me. Or was there a facelift in the '90's? My fav dreamcar is the Shelby Cobra, the 427. Never seen a sexier car.
The Shelby was a awesome machine, but a tight fit for bigger guys, and even with the roll bar, if you were taller than 6 foot you had to worry about your head getting bludged in if the car rolled "short wheelbase means it could flip easier than you think" while Id love one, Id much rather go for the 1958 Corvette Convertible....one of the first fuel injected sports cars that the average american could find a way to get And If you could pay for the gas now-a-days and are looking for ultimate classic american Style, nothing says it like the '49 mercury...God Id love one of those....
Yeah, old hot-rod cars I'm in love with them... used to see a turquise/white '57 Bel Air around here, man, is that a beauty!
Ferrari 512TR can run at 315 kph. Thats 25kph faster then oringinal Testarossa. (Not to mention 50hp more) 4.7 sec to 100 kph. It also have cleaner lines. I bet it have a better cocpit also.
I don't have a car (my father does in my hometown) and my bike is broken, I take the subway or the bus (line 67) to go everywhere in the city
I take a bus or ride a bicycle. Ya don't want to ride a bike ANYWHERE in Canada for about 8 months of the year. Where I am, the public transit costs extra during "Peak Hours" [Canadian stupidenglish for RUSH hour]. Rush hour here, in my city has been defined as 5:30 am until 6:30 pm. Drunks are interesting. I like to fart in a crowded bus. I once fucked a chick in one. One time I had to throw up but the fuckin' window was jammed shut... ALL the windows were [some suit in the Provincial Capitol decided that opening a bus windows was UNsafe]... it was an "express buss" and the cocksucker who was driving would NOT listen to my pleas to "Pull the fuckin' buss over man!" So I lifted my tee shirt up and made a little bowl out of it and hoiked up my pizza/red wine/stomach acid broth. The fuckin guy pulled over. As I was leaving, I said, "Here, you prick!" and served him the bowl of gastromix right there at the entrance of the bus. And I said, in passing, "Next time, PULL OVER when I ask you you cocksucker!" Now, if I had been driving, all I would have had to do is roll down the window... I wouldn't have even had to roll to a stop...
Ah yes... throwing up in buses... Here in England they drive like they have 'The Evil One' on their 6. So fucking violent acceleration/deceleration. Mixes up your stomach pretty well. Once I didn't manage to hold myself (man, trying to hold down your puke requires Dalai Lama meditation skills!) and I threw up in the Coventry Citizen (I think it was that newspaper, there were lots lying around). The look on the passengers' faces was priceless. If I was not so fucked up, I swear I would have laughed my ass off right there and then!
I like to sit in the bendy part of the buss.....your body goes one way while your feet get pulled another......simple entertainment.
Allsop, you live in The One and Only Country that has produced the most beautiful cars ever (zem, you may stuck that RS up where ever you wish ), and you keep talking about imports!!!! OH Shit. Eg. that -58 vette, one of the finest classics ever. Support your local motor industry, get yourself a decent car, not a lawnmover Support small block or big block or Hemi or your favourite in the fields of making fine engines that play in octets.
My transportation: Dutch train, type "Hardloper" Dutch train, type "Sprinter" Dutch train, type "RegioRunner" French/Belgian/Dutch high-speed train, type "Thalys" (new model TGV, called "HSL" in Holland, used on Paris-Amsterdam route) German high-speed train, Type "InterCity Express" or "ICE" (used on Amsterdam - Frankfurt route) Dutch regional bus ("Connexxion"), Mercedes-Benz Dutch city bus, Rotterdam (RET or "Rotterdam Electric Tram (company)"), Den Oudsten customized Volvo bus. Rotterdam subway ("RET Metro") at station Wilhelminaplein (Erasmus-line), model 1999. Rotterdam tram (RET), new model ("Citadis") And when I've got some money to spare, I drive around in a luxurious Mercedes:
What's wrong? You don't like 4.2 liter V8's with a bi-turbo? You don't like 450hp? Or you don't like the subtility of the design? Oh well, opinions <Z>
Kari, Ive said it so many times now it makes me sick....there are alot of reasons I cant own a classic car despite how badly I would love to have one... 1. Price, A good running classic car that is in good condition with a respectible year would cost a fortue...a fortune I dont have at 16. 2. Fuel Prices- Big Block, A word that doesnt work well with fuel consumption...it would get very expensive as my daily driver and basic transportation. 3. Insurance, V8 in america means you better have a fat wallet because unless you agree to only drive the thing like 100 miles a year your going to pay an arm and a leg for insurance. 4. The art of the find. Do you know I only wound up with that 1960 GMC because My grandpa GAVE it to me? 5. I live in washington state, the west side, its wet and damp here year round, classics rust easily, and on the east side, "mt. st. helens" blew before I was born and most clossics have ash in their intake. So its not that I DONT WANT A CLASSIC, but that I CANT AFFORD to have a classic, while I could buy a Ricer that runs forever "i hear 200k miles" before needing any major work and they are cheap on gass and insurance. If I opened a pay pal account would you all donate to me? lol.
