I had 2, ARS. The Flying Pig was a brilliant car. Little White William with a brown suede roof not so (only paid £300 for it though). If 'Little White William and his Brown Suede Roof' isn't a euphemism for a certain act of love, then it really should be.

like this len? same fella designed the princess, marina and TR7. the latter looks a bit sh*t now, but as a kid in the 70s, that and the fiat X19 seemed pretty cool. sorry for hijacking a bit sandy, but i don't think we can let 'a' pass without doffing our collective caps to one of the most pilloried british cars ever produced...

*makes mental note to suggest to sandy we run a CHEAP World Cup a la CHASM* *makes mental note to like eps' idea*
good choices sandy
and herm...how old exactly is mini-herm? you've made him sound like the most jaded of motoring journos there...
He turns 11 in less than a Fortnite... I mean fortnight. I typed word-for-word his writing, except he's dated his work and titled it CHHQ : Ariel Atom. He calls this place HQ for an unknown reason. Although I fear it emphasises the jaded bit, he's always liked your username the best on here! Oh god, what have I created?!

To be honest, I'm torn between the DB5 and this absolutely stunning V8: I am really struggling to separate the two at the moment, but the more I look at them both, the more I could well be leaning towards the latter.

The DB5 is without doubt a gorgeous, iconic car. The Cobra is also a work of art. However, my vote goes to the Quattro on the basis that it was a total game changer in the world of motorsport, and a pioneer in 4x4 technology!

I have to admit looking at this thread that I feel something of a fraud and interloper in some petrol headed love in! Good job I like gooseberries

I know A has been and gone, but we forgot to add this to a CHEAP annals... Garth’s 1976 AMC Pacer. Which is excellent.
