Cars...
1.
I have always loved the Jaguar XJ series,
the top of the line model was the Daimler Double-Six Vanden Plas.
2.
The only “modern” car I like…
The Morgan 4/4
3.
My father’s uncle had a 1952 model Mercedes-Benz 170,
it was sold and replaced by a VW 1500.

There is a car fairy…
...and the car fairy has granted you three wishes (congratulations! ). You may choose: 1. the car of your dreams any era, any price; 2. any car in current production; 3. one car which was once in your family, but which went to someone else. Given thos...
Easy answer for me.
Ferrari 250 GT SWB California. My garage would be so very happy. Best, JerryW
"See above!"...
But you have two wishes left, Jerry - what car in current production, and what car from your family's past, would you park alongside the 250SWB? Cheers, pplater.
A difficult question.
But if I have to answer I choose the following: Current production choice would be a Ferrari 458 Spider and the family past would be a 1957 Corvette (fuel injected). Need to clean out my garage now. JerryW
Easy for me: Aston Martin DB 5, Ferrari Dino, and Porsche 911 2.7.
But I am quite happy with my Volvo P 1800. ;) Best, Nicolas.
In my world! :)
In the current production, since you insist to make me come ti modernity, I would say: Aston Martin DBS, Alfa 8C, and... The new 911. You see, I am not far from my former selection! Best, Nicolas
Sooooo easy !!!
Well, for the family-car at least without the shadow of a doubt the Mercedes W123 230 E my grandfather used to drive, and i got to drive it too from the age of 16 :-) ... . 2/ Current production would be LP700-4 3/ Whatever car ??? Seriously ???? Any of t...
You have great taste, my friend.
But I am surprised, I expected something like an Alpine Renault, or a Renault Alpine, from you. But, after having tried an A 110, I wonder how you can go into one... ;) Best, Nicolas.
Most classic cars ...
.. are difficult to get in to .. for me at least :-) Today i tried (sat in / not drove): 1) Ferrari 328 GTS ... without the roof no problem :-) ... 2) Ferrari 365 GTC ... barely ... but i wouldn't mind :) ... 3) Jauar E-type Coupé ... to my surprise i cou...
The A 110, it is even worse. It took me 3 minutes to get in.
With the wheel on the legs... ;) Best, Nicolas
Very Difficult Question...
Limiting it to just three..... 1) Lamborghini Diablo GTR 2) Pagani Roadster 3) Aventador Roadster By the way the list changes every 5 minutes so don't hold me to it :-) S Pic Credit: Google Images ...
Ahhh, Salman...
Which one of those is the " car which was once in your family, but which went to someone else "? Cheers, pplater.
Oops :-)
That was my Top 3 from five minutes ago LoooL, this is the family car that is gone off into the sunset Alfa Romeo 75 from 1987 Speedy thing, Dad was stopped by the Cops quite often :-) S ...
Today's choices.
1. This: or this would be fine too. 2. 3. Nothing really interesting I can remember right now. vte ...
Life's about choices and options, isn't it? :)
I was just giving an option, there are others, of course. cheers vte This message has been edited by VMM on 2013-05-11 03:08:38
Clearly...
grown educated literate adult men turn into babbling 5 years too excited to read the owners manuals on Christmas morning, when you ask them to fantasize about the car faerie, given many of the answers offered up so far... :-)
Three wishes ...
in that case it would be: 1) Porsche 550 Spider 2) Porsche Cayman S or 911 Turbo - latest ones. Would be hard to choose, even when they are coming with different price tags. 3) BMW 502 V8 Can I meet that fairy in Asia or do I have to fly home before? :-) ...
Yes, will have to ask ...
my mum if she (still) has some pictures. Hello from Beijing and see you soon, Oliver
one answer only
#3 Wish i was 21 again with my VW Beetle convertible, have so many good memories with/in that bug :) :) :)
time and context...
At this moment, given current "circumstances"... 1. Any era, any amount of money or even "no amount of money"... The UR car with the "scissor doors" aka "Lamborghini doors" and the wedge school which was epitomized later with the Lancia Stratos Zero - per...
As the years go by, the older BMW's look better and better...
and their longevity and reliability more and more appealing...
Car Fairy, where art thou!?
Ooh, I have been waiting for this moment for my whole life! 1. Car of my dreams, any era any price: 1930 Duesenberg LeBaron Barrelside. It is such a stunning automobile and from such an historically important maker. Only 42000 miles, too! 2. Any car in cu...
