Well, understand your problem
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 don't see that anymore today!
So here is mine, so Nico even Frensh knew how to built cars (although thie 504 coupe and cabrio were made in Italy).
Br,
Dirk

One of my dream cars.
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 ...

A good friend of mine had this one, with a 6 Cylinders.
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...
Whaooo, I just mentionned this one..what a beauty..
Well...its Pinninfarina..who else! Cheers Francois
Hey Dirk don't thank me... Thank those designers who..
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...
Haha, think we should spend some time together to have...
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
Funny that you say that...
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 ...
Aaaah Nicolas, what a surprise......
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,...
THere is a strong come back to the Fifties / Sixties, nowadays
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...
Definitely Nicolas, one car which I would like..
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...
911 2.4S 1972
i like this one. the legendary 2.4S the most powerful non-racing porsche available in 1972. ...
Oooh Yes! A fantaisy I have since I am a child, too.
A car I have to get, one day. Ir is a promise I made to myself long time ago. ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
Now we're . . .
. . . talking. First generation Porsche 911s and 912s are my all-time favorite. Is that incredibly delicious 911S yours? Jealously, Art
Very difficult task my friend ...
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="...
Very nice Volvo.
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...
Hola Nicolas! Nice Volvo 1800 you show! I can understand...
... 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 ...
Another nice example, Abel. you have taste, my friend.
Even if I was more found of the Corvette featured in " Riptide "... :) Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas! Glad you like this pony...
...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...
Since
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 ...
So, Damjan, we share the same wife! :)))
How sensual is this Alfa! This one haunted my dreams, too, but not as affordable as the P 1800. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Make plans...
....to come over in a few months time. The weather here is lousy and the heater and wipers are....sub-optimal
That engine...
..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.
Yes it is
Isn't it something erotic about it ;) :) :) Thank you for kind comment Best regards Damjan
A true Gentleman Purist gave me the thrill of a lifetime...
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...
You look at the engine as we look at the movement. :)
This is a Monster, here! A Legend in the History of cars. Best, Nicolas
Funny how these amazing watchmakers...
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 ...
Now, the game would be to find the perfect Vintage watch for the P 1800.
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 ...
Love the colour combo.
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.... ...
Quite heavy at slow speed...
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...
