besides mini--next favorite car?

Although I have no pictures of the original morris traveller (1958) I owned ,I came across this picture recently that is identical.Until I got my MCS ,this was my all time favorite car.Wish I still had it

I love both the new and Classic the same but my favorite car has to be the one I learned to drive stick in: An MG1100 Sports Sedan (also known as a "big Mini")

Yeah, except for my MINI, I'd have to go back to the classics (Mini and other) for a next favorite.

Miatas or S2000s would be on my list, but I just can't do a 2-seater.

My 1969 MGC, of course! Except when I fancy the MGA (everytime I look at it, such great lines).

MGC


MGA


Kenchan,

Is that Senna's 1991 V-12 McLaren? What a great race car that was.

This is a very close second for me - an MGBGT V8. This particular car belongs to John Cooper's nephew, Anthony, and it is in absolutely flawless condition.

Actually, my current favorite car would be the one on the right in the picture. It does everything from off-road to near-8000 lb. towing, not to mention quick acceleration and amazing handling (given it's a SUV), yet provides seating for five with uncompromised comfort and luxury. It is indeed a well-rounded vehicle that does pretty much everything. Although whenever there's a need for speed, the one on the left with x50 option is absolutely .

Oh my, Rick! I LOVE this car! Did you go to his ranch a few weeks ago? I couldn't make it, dangit! That is a GORGEOUS vehicle!

Citroens are funky-cool

In the ultra high-end catagory I like Aston Martins better than everything else... I'd have a classic DB5 and a DB9/Vanquish

Basically Im torn between 4 cars.... here are the cars and the reasons:

Audi S4 V-8
Good power & Acceleration, Very comfy, and at 45k how I want it over 10k cheaper than an E46 M3 and less common

Corvette C6 (wait for Z06)
Cheapest out of the sport car bunch with great performance. However, inside just feels to generic... but its SO DAMN CHEAP in comparison to....

Dodge Viper SRT-10
....drool. Just a sexy car overall. However, its about 30k more than the corvette.

Porsche GT3
Take a bit more saving, but is it worth it when I could get an S4 AND a corvette for the same price?! Very very nice car, but the corvette could really give it a run for its money performance-wise.
