Automotive

I sadly have many dream cars, in my dream list, like some Lotus, Super 7 or Elan, Porsche,such as the 356 or an old 911, Aston Martin, the DB 5 or a more recent one, such as the DB 7 ( Please, my purist friends, don't kill me for that ), and some Italian ...  

I'm lucky (and also unlucky )to not live in Paris or London, so parking is no problem. I also wanted since I was young a Peugeot 504 cabriolet. I still think this is one of the better designs from Pininfarina. Still stylish even for a 4 seater cabrio. You...  

I agree that the 404 Cabriolet and the 504 are among the nicest french cars ever made, with the SM and the alpine Renault A 110, without forgetting the DS Cabriolet. You are lucky to own one of these! The condition looks very good, too. But you know the s... 

Well...its Pinninfarina..who else! Cheers Francois

Were designing these cars in an époque when nice ideas, ideals perhaps, where all about expressions from one human to another, (you like! Good. You therefore, perhaps buy/purchase) you do not like, well, I try something else, I loose! As I see it, this wa... 

a nice glass of wine or single malt together. I agree 100% with you :-) and btw, I love foie gras (as being Belgian with some french background). Best regards, Dirk

This Saint's car is the only Volvo I like . Cheers,dreamer

I had the other Saint's car, the Volvo C 70, and loved it, absolutely. The makor issue with the C 70 was that it was a tad too big, and that the wheels didn't turn so well ( rayon de braquage, in french ). Smaller and this issue solved, I would have kept ... 

This car has long been one of my favourite, my father had 1 when I was about 6 and I have always loved it, his was grey with red interior. The Dino absolutely beautiful both the Ferrari and the Fiat, the Lambo Miura, the Alfa Montreal, the Fiat 124 coupe,... 

Don't you think? Look at the Fiat 500, the Mini Cooper, the Audi TT, Corvette, Posche 911... Strong and sensual lines form the past, which still exist. But like you, these lines, silhouettes from the Past bring, generate a strong and beautiful feeling. It... 

to be revived is the Citroen DS, I think that the design is timeless! You know the other day I was thinking about yesteryears when I was about 11, 12, 14, and either riding my bicycle or my Solex and I could recognise which car was going to overtake me ju... 

i like this one. the legendary 2.4S the most powerful non-racing porsche available in 1972. ...  

A car I have to get, one day. Ir is a promise I made to myself long time ago. ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas

. . . talking. First generation Porsche 911s and 912s are my all-time favorite. Is that incredibly delicious 911S yours? Jealously, Art

I'm in love with the Lamborghini Miura, the Lancia Stratos, Renault 5 Turbo (wide body - mid engine), Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, Ferrari Testarossa and who knows what else .... . As for contemporary cars i like Pagani and this : <iframe width="560" height="... 

Skills .... errrrrr ... still checking :-)

I agree, it has lots of class. It doesn't look like a Volvo indeed. There are many machines I've loved, and still loving. Here are some of them: Lancia HF Integrale (last model), SL300 Gullwing, BMW E30 body, VW Golf Mk1 and Mk2, almost any 911, the Miura...  

... this is one of your dream cars, and may be an affordable one. I was very fond of watching "The Saint" TV series in the 1960´s, starring Roger Moore, and admiring the white Volvo 1800 he drove in almost each episode. This car is truly a charming sport ...  

Even if I was more found of the Corvette featured in " Riptide "... :) Best, Nicolas

...you will find its story in a separate post here. Re Corvettes, I like them too. Never seen Rip tide down here, but the car is similar to the one featured in the old tv series Route 66, of which I talk also in my post. I wish you ll enjoy reading it! Ha... 

monogamy is my middle name :) I've always been fascinated by this sight ;) in all it's iterations and forms but this is maybe one of dearest Cheers Damjan ...  

How sensual is this Alfa! This one haunted my dreams, too, but not as affordable as the P 1800. Best, my friend. Nicolas

The Guilietta before it got all shiney and chromey :-) Old old scan... ...  

you owe me a spin in that one when I come around ;) Best D

....to come over in a few months time. The weather here is lousy and the heater and wipers are....sub-optimal

...  

ahh that engine..... :) Thank you for addendum Best Damjan

..photo is from another Alfa Spider... OOOpps.:-) I uploaded it from my files and took it down after I realised that it had a crackle-black cam cover and different exhaust manifold...Very nice real Veloce set-up though.

Good choice

Isn't it something erotic about it ;) :) :) Thank you for kind comment Best regards Damjan

Several years ago, he very generously and kindly, knowing my love for these machines, let me drive his dream Ferrari. Ever since I was a small boy, I had images of this in my mind as the ultimate car, the venerable 512 TR!!! The Boxer 12 is a beast and so...  

This is a Monster, here! A Legend in the History of cars. Best, Nicolas

Were too fascinated and engrossed in a superb & finely tuned Ferrari flat 12! I know the Irish brothers love sports cars and M.VH himself a lover of the 12 cyl engine, having owned at least one older 850i that I had the amusing pleasure of seeing him ... 

That would be a funny game... The JLC Deep Sea Alarm would be one, I think. A touch of sportivity in an ocean of elegance, in both cases. The Geophysic would be another one, as well as the Rolex Pussy Galore. Pussy Galore... That would be a nice nickname ... 

But I then I am some what partial to a red interior. Sorry not a DB5 but but a DB6 vantage. The smell of the vintage leather is to die for. And the sound of the hulking inline 6.... ...  

how does it drive? TM

Due to the lack of power steering.... But at speed a real joy. The narrow tires sometimes track off course on some of the dodgier LA freeway surfaces so you definitely need to be on your toes. The only other issue is that she would sometimes threaten to o...
