Budget 300SL. I like it.

I don’t hate the Juke. I especially don’t hate one in purple.

That Delica is already almost perfect. I’d not even try replicating one of these old vans with it - just make some detail changes and paint it in the most 1980s colour scheme possible.

I love the teal trend. The cars might have been shonky but teal paintwork was a ray of light in the dark. Now we have great cars but everything is painted silver/white/black*. It’s depressing. Bring back teal.

Definitely. Easiest burnout machine I’ve ever driven though. 40% more torque than a Miata put through less than half of its contact patch.

And too awesome for all three, right?

It’s neat, but I do prefer the Brubaker Box. Apart from anything, I suspect it’s easier and cheaper to get hold of a Bug chassis than it is the undercarriage of a Bus, which go for silly money these days.

I quite like pop-ups (Mk1 Miata owner here), but I prefer the NSX without them regardless.

Hands-down the most entertaining car I’ve ever driven. But because it’s so light, I’d actually say the numbers on these are still pretty impressive, even if the power output isn’t that high.

Well yes, that’s actually the crux of it. People may have their preferences but ultimately both look great. “Ruined” is far too strong a term.

Calling it a “classic” design is probably a bit of a stretch in the first place. The NSX is a bit of a blank canvas - modestly attractive and nicely proportioned but little more. It’s why I think the changes were quite effective - it wasn’t fundamentally changing the car into something different.

I prefer the facelifted NSX. The front end as a whole is tidier, as the bumper was different too. There’s something about the changes that make the later NSXs look wider and lower than the earlier ones too.

I quite like that interior. But that steering wheel is hideous. The 1990s called, they want their enormous airbag carbuncle back.

I’ve done Route 66 and Route 1 in the past, but this is the best option. The last trip I did, in 2013, ended up taking in 6500 miles of driving in a month. We had some vague ideas of where we wanted to go, but the route wasn’t set by any means.

You’re right, I did forget these existed, though I’m from the UK so that’s my excuse. But I’ve now remembered how much I like them again.

That doesn’t excuse the 4Runner though. Am I out of touch by imagining those on big balloon tyres very much suited to dealing with things bigger than potholes?

I like the BRZ, and I like the ethos behind it even more. I’ve driven a few now and the way it drives and the compactness of it really appeal to me.

GPL is a great choice, still one of the most realistic driving sims I’ve tried.

Road trips. Don’t care what car, and don’t really mind where. This one was a rental in a cool location, but I’ll happily take my car on a jaunt to see some friends or do a big European trip. But spending all day on the road and getting somewhere is probably my favourite thing.
