Check out how fast it shifts

A car has to have some sex appeal, and the Carlton, nice car and all that but as much sex appeal as Maggie Thacher in her fluffy bedslippers with her hair in Curlers.

That was the whole point for me. It's a bog standard car. Like one of your Holden whatcha thingies

But it goes like stink and handles well. I love the Q carness of it.

Bet the fungus grew at a faster rate than the car ever managed!

I can't remember if it was that or the mini he had. He used to work for Formica in Seaton Delival and he would get off cuts of Formica to do the house with.

Strap the to the top of the car and try and get home without the wind picking him up off the road.

My first 'proper' car. In-line 6 with triple carbs this thing would scream! Purchased it (not this exact one, don't have my pics here) for $9,500 and later sold it for $12,000. This same thing now goes for close to $50,000. Brilliant.

Paint by 'Valspar' and applied by hand with a 2" brush?

My favourite car out of all those that I have owned was a BMW M535i, a superbly capable all rounder. My dream car would have to be a BMW M5.

Changes often. Currently I like this one...

Gotta be the Shelby AC Cobra. Fell in love with that beasty in the late 70's in the movie 'Gumball Rally'.
