Yes please, but only so I can get a Giulietta GTA.

That should look really good. Nice colour combo, and great colour for the leather.

Seconded.

Neat, although I'd have done something different with the front. Maybe reduced the size of the grille and headlights to disguise the odd proportions of the big front and tiny back.

Good spot. Complete with the slightly off-looking proportions and all.

Sweet. I have no intention to sell any of them, but I may need to sell the Jag to make space for something more classic, although I may try and convert it into something similar to the prototype estate cars and use it as a parts-hauler. I'm looking for a manual gearbox for it, but other than that it's complete to how

Nice stable. Personally, I've got an '89 XJ6 that I bought from my uncle for £60 as a non-runner and restored. That's just waiting for money to insure. I DD an Alfa 156 V6, and, best of all, I've got a '74 Spitfire that I'm restoring and fitting with a hotted-up Triumph PI I6. Should be brilliant. My dad and my

May not fare too well in Britain then, but I am fairly skilled at rust prevention so you never know.

SD1s are pretty damn cool, especially the rally versions. Who takes a big V8 RWD saloon car rallying? British Leyland, that's who. Also of note are the Group A touring cars.

Very true. They were par for the course when they came out, but most cars outstripped them in the years to come. No stock Spitfire ever hit 60 below 13s. Not exactly quick, but that's not what they're about.

Now playing

There's lots of companies in the States that do them, but I've yet to find anyone across the pond. I may have to import one, or maybe even cobble one together from a decent sized throttle butterfly.

It's still the case that you get auto-only licenses if you take your test in one. Love the old Cortinas though.

My dad rolled one of these into a field when he was younger. He was stuck in it for about twenty minutes as he landed on the front and couldn't think of a way to open the door. After a little bit, he just braced himself against the seat and pivoted the car over onto its side.

There's nothing wrong with a quiet car. There's everything wrong with a quiet car that fakes being loud. It's worse than that actually. It's a mediocre sounding car that fakes sounding badass. Not cool.

'Pathetic'

I rarely ever use the left mirror, and most of the cars I want don't have power steering. I'll just get beastly forearms :). Luckily for me I've got a really nice commute. It's 24 miles each way, but it's cross-country on great twisty country roads with minimal traffic.

Sweet. I really want one. Definitely in the dream garage as a daily driver. It's completely different to any other car I really like.

They are seriously cool. The wagons had twin springs and twin shocks to cope with heavy loads. They have higher load capacities than most pickup trucks.

Sweet. I hope it goes well. Those old TVRs are fantastic.

Exactly. My dream garage has one of these as a DD.
