Speed listing...cars
Like Speed Dating, don't ask too many questions, don't think too much, you can always revise your thoughts based on intuition later, when you've had time to digest it. Don't explain, don't justify (again, can do that later) just list. What are your 10 all...

512BB...
Hi, Jerry, Ah, the Boxer...I can't believe I forgot that one (see? "speed listing" opens up all sorts of questions...) I love the Boxer, and it played a very special place in my fantasies during my formative years, along with the Countach (remember the fa...
I love the 512 BB , the perfect example of the pre Crash test homologation sportscars,
all the cars after that started to put on weight.
Ironic....
That you mentioned Crash Testing. I remember following one at Calder Park (well, it roaring came past me and I started watching it's taillights...) and as it exited the Speedway back onto the main road circuit, the rear-end gave a huge lurch, sending the ...

Hi PPlater (lol! P Plater, or PP later? I always wondered, glad to have that cleared up!) The Pantera and Maseratic 3500GT (esp the Shah of Iran one off) are on my list of favorites. Surprised the MB 300SL gull wing isn't on more lists

Love the 1961 California as much as the Lusso, Daos
Just sad about Ferrari reusing the name Cheers Luc photo credits to conceptcarz.com m...
Wholeheartedly agree, Luc.
This business of recycling the names of iconic models for new cars is troubling for the most part. The newer cars are saddled with so much emotional baggage already -- so much to live up to -- before anyone even considers them on their own merits, be the...

What - no Hudson Hornet? . . .
. . . not to mention the Nash Rambler . . . cordially, Art
Well, most of those cars have the privilege of putting a smile on your face...
and a smile never hurts, better than a car with no soul It reminds me a Dauphine Gordini...
Luc, it pained me somewhat
because my mother had a Dauphine in the early 60's. she really loved that car. cheers, elliot
Don't get me wrong, I love the Dauphine, I probably expressed me
badly, when i met that those cars put a smile on your face I was not ironic. My apologies if it did not come across how I meant it I was not meaning the Dauphine Gordini with no soul, I was meaning other cars with no character. I made the mistake of remin...
2 Lists for me:
Old Models: 1. Miura 2. DB5 3. 250 GTO 4. Birdcage 5. Jag XJS 6. Merc 190 2.3-16 (odd choice given the above, but IMO the best looking non-supercar ever, and Ayrton Senna daily beater!) Current Models: 1. Maserati Gran Turismo 2. Carrera GT 3. Alfa 8C 4. ...

Pre 2006 S65?
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I thought the S65 AMG was only made during 2006 and on? The W220 series was produced between 2000 through 2006 Model years. The W221 series was produced between 2007 and on W220 Series W221 Series...
Great Thread....
I really enjoyed reading everyone's fav. cars, very cool , I've always loved cars and as a child and even now it is an obsession, so please forgive me, some of my favorites: 1) Mercedes The Gullwing 2) Mercedes AMG 6.0 SEC Widebody (1989-1990) 3) Maserati...

Salman, thats cheating. its supposed to be 10, not 50 :) good choices Graham
LOL! Portion control, my friend Salman, portion control!
reminds me of a certain night spot nearby the Hyatt Regency Dubai...so many choices, so we end up with none. ;-) Seriously, 10 was to keep it to "the first that came to mind" and no other reason... and I asked for "(your) all time greatest cars" not "(you...
