An Audi A4? Why not do it properly and get an Audi S8? Excellence without Excess. Yeah baby! Or for a runabout I'd love to grab an Audi TT convertible or for a weekend in the mountains, a Mitsubishi Pajero Evo. Back on Planet Earth it's a '93 Ford Telstar TX5 SE, V6. Fits 2 mountain bikes, 2 snowboards, and a couple of guys with no self preservation skills. Alternatively, on a good day it's a Merida extreme 907, or on a bad day, my Merida Pro SX. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
Hey Chris... I think that this is good for the next Pool. What do you think? Cheers!!! :beer: Carlos Antollini.

Mines a 2000 Golf 1.6SE but I'm gonna buy a new Lexus IS200 from www.wundercars.com Has anybody bought a car over the net?
Currently, I have a 1997 Ford Escort. That's all I could afford, being a starving college student at the time. I would love to replace it with a Chrysler 300M, but the student loans and mortgage payments have been taking a bit of a priority in my life, lately :-) On the other hand, a Mercedes-Benz E320 would be nice... Or I could really go for broke, and buy an S500! Okay, now that I'm done dreaming, reality has just hit me with a "clue-by-four"... ;-) -- Paul "I drank... WHAT?"

lol I'll bet you never expected to get such a huge response to your post huh! From the looks of things we have the full gamut of "pocket protectors" taking the bus to work through to "balls of steel" ducatti and Ford drivers ;) Heh, people are almost as excited about cars on here as they are on Linux/Windows bashing. regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

If I still worked for my dad, I would have said 1-ton Dodge dually w/ Turbo Cummins diesel, but I'm a software geek now, so 1/2 ton is big enough for me. Jon Sagara Sagara Software

I have never bought a car over the net. I want to try it first. Right now I drive a Nissan Primera 1.6 SRI from 1996. It was brandnew when I got it and I still love it. Has driven 139.000 km in it :) My wife have a Nissan Almera 1.4 S from 1998, it's also a great car. :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
If I had enough money, I would have bought a Lamborghini Diablo :-D But reality is tougher than we think, so I bought a Toyota Corolla. BTW: Corolla is the Lamborghini Diablo of its class. :) ;) ;P :-D :cool: Farhan Noor Qureshi

By big, I mean not a Ranger/S-10/Tundra/et al. I wouldn't mind getting an F-350 4x4, but I really don't have a need for something like that. Besides, my wife drives the truck (the Buick and the bikes are mine).
Your comment just reminded me of the guys I used to work with out in Utah. They all drove big F350's and Dodge Ram's etc. They were always making fun of my little Ranger :(( I told 'em it wasn't how big your pickup was, but how well you used it. But they would just push me around and laugh ;) "Want to know what makes me mad? Everything!" The Ranting Swede.

Want a *real* car? Get any one of the following: 427 S/C Cobra (fastest *production* car ever made?) 1965 R-Model Shelby with down-draft Webers or matched Carter AFB's. 1969 Tunnelport Boss 302 1970 Hemi 'Cuda 1969 Chevy Camero 396 SS 1965 Corvette Gran Sport 1965 Thunderbolt Fairlane (with 427 SOHC) Anything else is an also-ran.

Toyota Tazz 1.3, goes damned well for such a small engine and as they say, reliable as hell. Driven from here to hell in back in it and the worst thing that has happened is ending up halfway through a macdonalds sign with a collapsed wall on my bonnet, it was the other guys fault of course ;) Take this a bit further: what car would you drive if you had all the money in the world? For me it is the Mitsubishi EVO VII or VI. Nothing beats it for sheer thrill and attitude. Looks like an outrageous Toyota but goes like a Diablo or 550. My next car though would be an Audi A4. Audi has such class and elegance. Of course inbetween the Audi and my current Tazz I want a Suzuki GXR600. Bikes rock! regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org
Hi Paul, I have an Audi A4 myselves, and it is *really* a nice car. I bought it 3½ years ago and it has almost gone 100.000 km without problems. Goes highly recomended :-) Christian Skovdal Andersen

Have you played Test Drive 6? If I remember correctly, it features a lot of the cars you mention. And, I think in the game the Cobra has the fastest 0-60 acceleration, but then the Camaro (or something similar) blows it away at higher speeds. Me personally, I like fast AND sexy cars. Those older cars just don't cut it. Here are the cars I would have in my garage, in order: 1. Ferrari F355 F1 (gorgeous but expensive) 2. Corvette Convertible (gorgeous and relatively inexpensive) 3. Ferrari 308 GTSi (Yes, Magnum's car!) 4. BMW M3 Convertible (very sexy) 5. Mercedes Benz SL500 (class and style) Regards, Alvaro
