Yeah yeah, cars, whatever
I want to buy an old Vauxhall Magnum and do it up, proper strip it out and respray it all myself. If you had the time and money, what would you do?

I'd like to buy a car and tie enough helium balloons to it to lift it into the air
and also include some kind of device to detach the balloons once the car was over an important football game, or wedding, or police stand off.

I will be selling advertising space on the car

Read up on a Fusion Brain
it's a 30 quid USB board that lets you connect about 10 relays to a PC, as well as 14 analogue inputs. The software is logic-based, so simple stuff like IF temperature IS GREATER THAN 25 degrees THEN turn on relay 1 (which is connected to a fan, or a power window motor, or somesuch.) The home auto guys and the CarPC guys use it a lot.

I do love old motors
If I had loads of cash I'd have a Mk1 Escort, and make it mint. And a Z-cars Mini. And loads of other amazing cars :)
But I don't, so I have a Peugeot 309 Goodwood which I love dearly but needs plenty of work which I can't really afford if I want to buy a house :(
(littlelise - domestically challenged, Sun 6 Jun 2010, 11:40, archived)
I want the Vauxhall cos I'm sick of seeing Escorts get all the glory.
And I had a Viva GLS, which is a Magnum without the big engine. Vauxhall were great like that. Viva for the no-marks, Magnum for the flush and Firenza for the two-door brigade. But they're all the same fucking car.
(I helped save b3ta! Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Sun 6 Jun 2010, 11:43, archived)
I like the look of the Magnum :)
Old Vivas are also purdy, saw one at a Retro show down at Ace Cafe a while ago. We were surrounded by sexiful motors!

I like the HB's coke-bottle hips, but I like the HC front end and bonnet
but there's no way to combine them, practically. You have to get a Mk I or II Capri to achieve the same effect.

OOF! <3
Capris, nom. My dad had a mk3 2.8i special, its idle burble was supreme.
With older cars, I think I prefer the curvier models generally, I'm also a fan of old 60s/70s MGs, metal bumper Midgets and BGTs are loooooovely
(littlelise - domestically challenged, Sun 6 Jun 2010, 11:55, archived)

I have nothing against straight line cars
I do own a box on wheels, after all! XD .... I'd like to stick a bigger engine in it if I get the chance, the standard 1.9GTi engine in the 309 is barely any faster than the 1.6 GTi engine in a 205 which the other half has. I can't be slower than him!!
If money weren't an issue, I'd be all over the late 60s/70s sexy curvy cars. It's what I grew up with, the rents had alot of curvy classics between them.
The o/h prefers late 70s/80s boxes, his parents are 10 years younger then mine so I guess it's the generation gap ^_^

There's a 106 diesel dumped out the back for either of us to use if one of the cars needs fixing, or we run out of petrol!
Tis quite the puglet showroom outside our house. The 205 and 309 surprise people though, especially mine as it looks like an old man's car but it doesn't drive like an old man's car :D

So rather than learn a number of real-world skills and be left with an appreciating asset at the end of it
you'd rather spend a few months in complete isolation in the uninhabitable portions of the globe, blowing obscene wads of cash on having your skin flayed from your body by salt spray.

While the Riley is an ADO 16, meaning you can steal parts from three million austins and the engines are the same ones as in Minis. You can even bolt Metro/Maestro engines straight in if you need more modern reliability.

For a 24 year-old is that so wrong?

(adam_is_saxy, Sun 6 Jun 2010, 13:16, archived)
The only way I'd buy an e-type is as an investment
and then sell it on to the sort of lazy uncultured swine that think cruising around in a green jag is tasteful. There are plenty of similar period cars that are more interesting (Daimler Dart, Jenson Interceptor) to people who know about cars. And there's no point in owning a classic if you're not going to be a massive snob about it. Being 24 is nothing to do with it.

Z-cars it!!
I used to have a Mini, it was so lovely. The Mini community is awesome too, I used to go to all the big shows and arrange local meets, and still help to run The Mini Forum.
I had to sell my Mini after I got my own place, couldn't afford to run two cars so the fun one had to go :(
If I could have another Mini it'd have to be mint, Z-cars with a 1.6 or 2.0 Vauxhall engine, preferably a Clubby estate or some such sexiness.

i'd rally it
they are such fun to drive
bucket seats, bigger engine, light as possible
such fun
and a decent stereo system
i could never hear the last one over the engine
(I helped save b3ta! baldmonkey a frothy foul-smelling vaginal discharge, Sun 6 Jun 2010, 12:39, archived)
I didn't have a stereo in mine
The engine was more fun to listen to :D
I bought mine as a standard 998cc Mayfair, and made a few wee changes: group 2 arches, weller wheels, cream classic bucket seats, and added a "stage 1" kit to the engine - i.e. different carb needle, maniflow cooper freeflow manifold & exhaust, K&N filter (in std airbox).
I loved it so!

Boo :(
I had mine for just over 2 years, it's still going and it's new owner is also on the mini forum. Unfortunately he's put "angel eye" headlights on it, replaced the awesome buckets with the original seats, and... I can barely bring my self to say it... Put NEONS under it :'(
I want it back so I can put it right again!!
Our region did a rolling road shootout once, we got featured in Mini Magazine, and mine won fastest small bore :D

I like how other mini drivers say hello by flashing their lights and bibbing their horns.

you could park it just about anywhere, but it was scary being on the M25 with a juggernaut either side, wondering if they could see me.

I want a Vauxhall Senator, sort of.
haven't got a clue why, I just do.

I'd love to restore a car, a Saab 900 or something. I don't have the time, money or skill however.

I'd buy tthis house I'm renting
and make changes. Firstly, I'd fit every room with a picture rail.
Secondly, I'd wire the house for gigabit ethernet.
Thirdly, I'd come up with a bet way of distributing power - I've got three multiplugs in full use where my telly is and two where my PC is. There must be a better way of doing it - maybe a 12v DC ring.

Apparently the head they used in Alien
was a combination of moulded plastic and fibreglass.
And the guy they casted for it was a freakishly tall and skinny fella, so he needed holding up :-(

Bentleys are as common as Ford Fiestas round here
go into Banus and its hard to spot a different car in amongst all the Bentleys. Like the sound of the Aldi though, is it made by the cut price supermarket chain?

There is a bloke in north cyprus who has a really sooped up farrai, I can't say the model but the thing looks flash and it takes up 3 parking spaces (maybe 2 if he could drive properly).
It's probably the son of one of the biggest casinos/maffia people.

There is an Urban Legend type thing that he once blocked the enterance to [my local] harbour, it's a small fishing one, he was there for about 3 hours, eventually someone scratched his car in fustration, and the guy came out and pistol-whipped him.

I wouldn't mind having a go in an R8
but I've grown out of sports cars. And it's the constant twiddling and fixing of older stuff that appeals to me, while understanding that the need to never do that on a new car is why other people like them. But they all go wrong eventually, new or old. New stuff is machined to such a high level of delicacy that a grain of sand in the wrong place can fuck it up, whereas old cars will run on vaseline and piss if you can find a way of getting it into the tank.
