@Evil-Jeremy: Have to agree, if this were a Datsun 510, yeah, engine swap that sucker if you're bored. So what if its a generic motor from the parts bin in the UK? Really, its a TVR. Quirky, fun to drive, impossible to keep on the road, and pretty likely to kill their owners. Perfect car hell.

I say go for the C70. One thing to watch for though, on the 99 and up S70/C70/V70's, they went to a drive by wire throttle. They are notorious for failing at about 70-90k miles and its about a 1k visit to a volvo delarship because, well they are the only ones that can make the programming work again after you

Hoonage that makes it to the weather channel... Skillz. Whom ever this guy was, I salute you sir.

God, even today thats an incredible car. Proving that bleeding edge tech from any period, if executed with styling befitting the incredible technology, will always be appreciated. The Veyron of its time this car was, and even today will draw drooling gear heads from all walks of life.

The sad part is I know exactly where that is but have never had a camera handy when driving through there.

Actually as long as you aren't looking for huge speed, the little 305tbi would be ideal for long run times and cheap parts. It wouldn't be smoking tires too easily, but then again, when the injection system is a cross between a carb and efi, how hard can it be to keep running? Oh and good gas mileage too, something

I have no problems with bikes (and pedestrians) when they do things correctly and pay attention. Most of the anti bike and pedestrian sentiment seems to be coming from the fact that if I cross three lanes of traffic and cut someone off, then I can be ticketed, but often times you see bicycles do the same with no

To those that don't get this car, please refrain from commenting about things like "reliability" and "cost" and other such things that are thrown out the window when doing a project like this. If you don't get it, you just don't get it. If he wanted huge power, a small block v8 would have been easy enough. A

@ifonlyihadthemoney: I'm pretty sure he won't have a problem with the sideways part, but he may never keep it straight long enough to make it to the corner.

Ahhh. For the guy that can't afford a Koenigsegg, but still wishes to go through the pearly gates backwards in a ball of fire at 200mph, we present the v12 Miata. extra points for fabrication skillz aimed solely at hoonage!

Seeing as I'm always looking forward to my next automotive purchase, I voted for #7. Nothing quite like a reason to go and buy something different and unexpectedly.

@UDMan: The russians actually run on a 6 day week, so now he has one for every day of his week.

Hmmm.... So, thinking in terms of production like aspects, if you got for a single color, less ghetto fab wheels, you have....A unibody pickup capable of high 20mpg-low 30mpg rating. Hmmm, if it has about a 1000lb load capacity and maybe a 2000lb tow rating, it'd sell like hot cakes. I'm in.

I don't know if there is one single item specifically, but man are there alot of options I'd love to be able to remove.

Did they actually watch any of the Top Gear episodes? Seriously. Ummm, Their attempt at a James May is pathetic. Just because May enjoys his little Fiat Panda, doesn't mean he has no love of REAL cars. He has an extensive automotive journalism past and while not as mainstream as Clarkson's or Hammond's tastes, has

I see a stunt for Jackass the Movie 3 with a set of these. For those that have seen the previous movies, remember the toy car? Yeah, modify slightly and there you have it.

Just because she was so pretty...

I miss my 1985 XR4Ti. Body was perfect. Black 1985. ONE, I repeat ONLY ONE small ding no larger than a pinky fingernail width, in height. That was it. No Rust anywhere. The motor...well it never did run right, no matter what I did. Just wouldn't really rev past 5000 like it should. And believe me, it wasn't

I had a 1976 Gremlin with the huge 4.2 258 I6 and the craptastic (and only thing to ever fail on the car strangely enough) chrysler 904 auto. Car even had A/C...THAT WORKED! (Gotta love any a/c system that has a "Desert" setting) Great first car. Eventually it went from a half dead (but still let the car run)
