Heaths poo brown UC drag car
Thunderbolt grease slapper
No, not really,

hahahhaa now now, the ORIGINAL UC 'Brock' edition would have been fantastic if I replaced the valve springs for the day, bagging it out is like kicking a crippled kid. Jesus!

As far as the coolest cars are concerned, in my opinion. This list is subject to change without notice, as I find mad shit that I like a lot all the time.

#1 would be my dream car and my next project, yessssss!!! LX hatch with a fibreglass or carbon fibre targa top and lots of lightweight panels (but looking like original panels) held together with a full cage tagged to the pillars, 355, T56 and R32 rear suspension with a DeDion rear axle, all fabbed up and everything adjustable, adjustable coilovers all round, 5x114.3, fat modular wheels, phased mechanical introduction LPG. Loud exhaust & amazing street presence. Making myself hard just thinking about it. No photo coz it's just a secret concept, if I showed you I would have to kill you. But i just described it all so meh

#2 Bolwells, Giocattolos, midgets, Caterhams etc. Anything that is just ridiculously fast, only owned by enthusiasts and doesn't look like a normal car.

#3 When you are talking 'cool' you need to have a goon. My first choice would be an MS55 Crown

Transverse dickie seat, two benches, manual on the column, dumped on classic wheels. Already has 5x114.3

#4 My car, if you don't love it, then... you're obviously not me. Because I love it, and think it's cool! hahaha

#5 Non bogan-spec HQ wagon or ute (or HK, EH etc). No 80s accessories, no grey cloth trim etc, just cream or brown vinyl. Wide stockies or rally wheels, low, ratty or original paint, red rings etc. No EFI or any of that shit, practical car you can beat around that still looks cool.

Wow, really hard to narrow down to 5 but,

1. Buggatti Royale - any of the bodystyles will do me. OMG that engine.....infact the whole things is incredible and hand built back in the early 30's. I got the chance to see 3 of them in France 2 years ago. The largest car I have ever seen by a substantial margin.


2.Bugatti veyron (supersport model)- again saw one 2 years ago in France - I can't believe how small they are.


3. Ferrari Enzo - prefer the look of the F360 but you just can't go past the performance of these things.


4. Lotus Exige turbo - Budget Rocket that looks awsome - I much prefer these hard tops to the Elise.


5. Last but not least - 1995 ZR1 Corvette with 441ci Twin turbo - What can I say, those engines are sweet.


I found it really hard not to include the Canta in my list but those above bumped it out of the top 5 :-). These buzz around Amsterdam everywhere.

I like some american muscle cars, like pro street cars or original rally pack ones with a bit more poke, 4spd and lousy suspension, and I like all the standard looking Novas that have turbo SBCs and BBCs with like 1000hp and shit, love the NRE cars, and I like the big block Cobras and the GT40s and all that stuff. And the Trans-American racing series is amazing. But that Foose stuff does NOTHING for me. That split window Vette might be cool if it didn't have the gay new model wheels on it.
