another dream car of mine would be an all british car with an all british engine that beats all the other cars.

but that never going to happen.

also about the arieal attom. I WANT ONE i'd jsut love to turn up in to college in one then put my disabled blue badges up when i park in a disabled space LOL

Wow, erm...

Within the next 5 years: Peugeot 106 GTI

Ever: So many...

Ferrari 360 Modena (Only nice Ferrari ever IMO, although the new 430 is soooo hot)

Aston Martin DB9

Citroen Xsara WRC (The actual one, driven by Sebastian Loeb a few years back. It looked so good on the tarmac!)

VW Golf R32 (So beautiful)

Saleen S7 (Only saw it for the first time earlier this year, but wow)

But my favourite of all time, I must agree with altezza, is the McLaren F1

My Dream car that I hope I will someday be able to acquire is a 911 Turbo. It's a beautiful machine that I just love to look at and hopefully drive one day.

But I have been partial to this beast however.

Oh NO!  A RICE BOY!  The Fast and the Furious kind of 9sec Civic...  I don't understand this, buying a cheap Civic and changing everything in it....  Why not just buy a Saleen Mustang GT or better a Viper instead?

:D

Haha. Yes, I do like rice. ;)

And no, I'm not talking about "The Fast and the Furious kind of 9sec Civic." I hate that crap, that movie ruined the scene imo. It basically showed people what the bad side of imports are, body kits and crap like that. The Civic I am talking about isn't like that. Looks stock but when you open the hood, then damn. And to reply to your question on why not just buy a Saleen or a Viper, well because they are expensive. Yeah, I wouldn't mind a Saleen at all, but if you think about it, it is cheaper. You can go out and buy a Civic for what? 3, maybe 4 grand. Do a swap, which will cost around the same, then, depending if you want NA or forced induction, that will cost around the same also. So total would be around 12,000 for a nice 12-13 sec. car. Not bad at all. Now compare that to the cars you said. Alot more expensive. Plus a nice small Honda will do wonders on the track. ;)

I myself, like how imports look. I sure wouldn't mind a classic car like a GTO or a Shelby either. I don't get why you domestic people always make fun of people that like imports, it's all a matter of preference, you hate the body kits, I know. But think about this, most import enthusiasts hate them just as much. I too, don't understand what it is with people that basically **** up their cars and put a body kit on it like that crap on "The Fast and the Furious." Can't we all just get along? :laugh:

Has to be a Lotus Carlton for me, they are still legendary in my opinion upon release it was (still is i think) the fastest saloon car in the world.

and it looks mental considering what it's based on.

This was it's shell based on a Vauchall Carlton

A couple of years later and Lotus playing about you get this.

3.6 Twin Turbo

376BHP

0-60=5.4 secs

Max Speed=176mph

(this is the fastest someone ever took the car on the test strip, they literally ran out of track, a theorectical top speed of 250mph)

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
