Hummers: They’re not the prettiest of machines admittedly but I love their chunky, macho asthetic.
I also love the sleek looks of the classic Jaguar XJS - even though they were prone to overheating issues  |

"Aston Martin Vantage. I like the original model released in 2005. Think it's lost the look and character when they changed the front end and added a Merc engine."
I have a friend who restored one nice car smooth, and cool but not my fav. Ifni haven't driven one, or been driven about in one. I can't put it in my fav list |

My personal favourites are the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado or the '59 Chevy Impala (those fins in the Impala  )
However, my collection actually includes a Triumph, a couple of similar Morris models, a big hydropneumatic Citroen and, after this weekend, an MG

Think it will become a collectable in years to come. |

Bugatti Chiron. Just spectacular looks and engineering.
Bentley Continental GT. You know, as a runaround.
TVR Chimaera. Purely because I have always, always wanted one.
60s Corvette C1 to keep at my place in the states. |

Favourite car I’ve owned was a 1992 Nissan pulsar GTI-R, which I tuned to perfection!
That’s a car I paid a small amount for compared to a retail buy. I worked as a mechanic for a import company at the time and asked my boss to source one from Japan for me! That’s car was a lot of fun when it wasn’t spitting it’s gearbox internals out !
Car I would like the most is a standard untuned 1970 dodge charger. Wouldn’t be any fun already tuned ! |

MK.1 Lotus Cortina, Keith had one when we first met but sold it to get us started out in life.
We are now searching for another one all these years later, Keith would prefer an ultra rare Lotus Anglia but only a handful were made before Ford considered the Cortina was a more realistic model to place the engine in. |

I never knew that about the Anglia. They must be as difficult to drive as they are to find. I only drove a couple of standard Anglias and they were all over the road on their crossply tyres |

Yes they tried the engine in the Anglia initially, I don't think they ever went on general sale.
Unlike our old Lotus Cortina all of the Anglia's came in Midnight Blue.
Apparently they fetch over £50k but are almost certainly in private collections.

"A Saab 9-3X
They don't cost that much to buy, but with a £675 / year road tax bill and average mpg of about 15, you need plenty in the bank to run one"
Googled it and like so many others it comes under my heading of 'space sacrificed for stance'. |

Or the car's I've owned my personal favourite will always be my beloved

Full race modified went like shit off a shovel and such fun to drive until I killed it 
Be worth around 20k now! |

"As a man of simple taste, I’ll just take Billy Gibbons old shopping cart- CadZZilla…and a new wider garage to store it in 
Or one of his 32 3 window coupes  "
Think I’d prefer Andy Saunders 47 Pontiac lowrider or Andrew Vella’s 60 coupe de ville ?? |

"It would have to be the Aston Martin DBX.
Tested one a few weeks back. Beautiful car, stunning handling but I hate all the centre console buttons"
Drove one today at work. The centre console buttons are awful but the noise it makes in Sport+ mode is aural sex, it's savagely fast too
