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

(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)

    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
    • Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen
    • Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
