 LOVE 1st generation Celicas, and i am not even slightly ashamed to admit it! Had one of these for my first car which i will forever regret selling to my best mate when i lost my license...one day i will convince him to sell it back to me. Oh, this and pretty much any other Jap cars from the same era. Like the GTO previously posted...fender mirrors

I had a Celica for many years...Loved it.
Great to see what people's car secrets are...As long as no one has a secret love for a Lada Niva!

Id happily have another 75 929 (or even an RX4).
This was my first car, was bought new in 1975 and passed around the family till it died of rust with me. Even though this picture isnt of my 929, it is exactly the same, same yellow and all.

Well like most of you I guess I am a car nut in general. Just about every make has something that I would proudly own.
But it just doesn't include any Holdens, at all, the only GM I could ever see myself in would be a Corvette (C5 is nice) or a Camaro. This rest can rot in hell. Id drive a Hyundai around before stepping foot in a GMH, patriotism has no place when it comes to cars for me. As for the above cars, love them, FD's are the best looking modern jap cars (NSX is damn nice too..hello NSX-R!), old school jap is magic aswell. And yes, the best Volvo ever a P1800! Mopars are all pretty much awesome, and Id kill for a Viper. Love Porsche's, been eyeing off a 924 Turbo isntead of a classic falcon/fairlane but I change my mind more than my undies, and I am hygienic!

I am a lover of all different cars. But I do like MX-5's, especially ones that are a little riced up.

GULP....................................I LOVE the idea of an old car shell like a 60's stang / camaro / challenger / whatever with a new vehicle running gear and interior. I know many have done it of late but i like the prospect of having an old car....with all the creature comforts.
I also have a soft spot for little 4cyl jap cars. i used to have a nissan pulsar n15 GA16DE and loved it. I plan to have another in addition to a ford in the future and also plan on building my brother a laser for his first car...then another for a racer, then another like a stang with a modern car underneath. |

Hi, my name is James and I'm a car addict.
(Chorus of "Hi James" rings out across the nation...) Thats step one out of the way... OK, my dirty little secret - I'm seriously considering buying a VC Vacationer or SL/E sedan, rip out the 3.3/4.2 and 3 speed slush box - bolt in a 2.5 Turbo Diesel / 5 speed out of a PE Courier. Fit a VC Brocky body kit, paint it in the red/white marlbro pattern and drive it as a daily....

 Get one if you have the means to. VERY easy to hot up and you get a smile and a wave every time she leaves the garage. I really like unique cars personally. Thus the Yellow Festiva, the Bugeye, the Citroen Pluriel (all gone now) and my current car a Fiat Coupe
