10 Ten Cars

[STEVEMCMORN]

2am - can't sleep and the forum has been a bit quiet recently so thought would try to spice it up by discussing a question everyone has a view on: what's you're top 10 cars??

My top 10 changes every few days but current top 10 (in no patrticular order) are: 

[size=3]Porsche 911 - never thought would ever get one - got one now - very happy

Ferrari 360 - I know new 430 is better and someone in the club seems to have one but still prefer lines of 360 (however will accept 430 if free) 

69 Camaro - Classic american muscle car - blue with white strips

Ford Street Rod - just kewl

Dodge RAM truck - gas is cheap in america compared to england so have to have one of these

SMART car - for whizzing around town

Jeep Grand Cherokee - always wanted one - now got one

Porsche 550 spyder (replica OK - lets not get silly here) - Sunday morning

Shifter go-kart - just look like lots of fun - never driven one though

Infiniti G35 coupe - other daily driver

Thoughts?

I suppose I could have said:[/*]
Plymouth [Roadrunner] Superbird (w/hemi)

AC Cobra 427 (more commonly referred to as "AC Shelby Cobra," or "Shelby Cobra"

Duesenberg [Model SJ Rollson Cabriolet]

Cord [812 Phaeton 38010A]

67 [Cor]Vette [Sting Ray] Coupe w/ 427 tri-power

Porsche 917[K]

Mercedes Benz [300SL] Gull Wing Coupe

69 [Ford] Boss 428 Cobra Jet Mustang

67 [Pontiac] GTO ragtop

FYI Carroll Shelby eventually filed suit against AC Cars. The ensuing settlement resulted in a joint press release whereby AC acknowledged that Carroll Shelby was (and is) the manufacturer of record of all the 1960s AC Cobra automobiles in the United States.

[ccm911]

Actually, the fact that there is no such thing as a Shelby Cobra was found in the book called "Shelby's Wild Life".  While there were Shelby Mustangs, the Cobra was always referred to as an "A.C." Cobra.

Sorry, I was bored at work and just wanted to stir it up some.  I honestly did not mean to offend. 

If you look at my list, you will notice that I left our the "R1" designation of the Avanti, did not know the year of the Porsche, and can not spell Issognius(Mini Creator) to save my life.

5. '68 Kharman Gia (classic now, classic then)
6. '60 VW Bug (slow as molasses, but only needed gas and oil)
