Dream Garage - a new approach

US: Corvette prefer the 58, but would settle for a 63-65
Geramany: Porsche 928 S4
UK: Jaguar XJS-RS
Farnce: They make cars? Bugatti Veyron
Sweden: some sort of Koniegiseigggggg or however they spells it
Japan: a Saab 9-2x
Korea: Have not a clue what interests me from there
Australia: Holden Maloo
Italy: a Zonda

Man up and pick something! Remember, you have to fill every slot, why do you think I put Korea in there? To make it more challenging, of course! Be glad I didn't put in China or India.

The Saab is/was made by Subaru and I think that qualifies it as a Japanese car even though I believe it is made in the USA. EDIT: it is made in Japan

If I have to man up and chose one I will take the Pontiac Lemans(88-93) which I will promptly kill with fire.

Now that is style. I like!
 
  • 1970 El Camino SS 454 (4spd)
  • 1967 Mercedes 280SE]
  • 1967 Sunbeam Tiger MKII
  • 198x Renault 5 GT turbo 2 (the wide body ones)]
  • 1972 Volvo 144 GT
  • 1995 Mazda RX7
  • Hyundai Pony... for the lulz
  • 2010 HSV Ute
  • 1961 Fiat 500

That was tough. I had no idea for Korea, because I don't want a Korean car, I also realised that I didn't choose a 4x4... I might swap the Sunbeam for a LR Defender.

Well, if we're including Australia and the Russians, I have to add these to my list:

Australia: (And I can't believe nobody's picked this one yet) 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Hardtop/Coupe with the Arcadipane Concorde nose and a few... upgrades.
O3.jpg


Russia: BDRM-2, one of the later variants with the ingress/egress bug fixed. Yes, they do sell them for civilian use with a fully road legal lighting scheme.

Before someone complains, yes, it's a car - specifically, it's classed as a amphibious armoured patrol car.

Korea - Hyundai Genesis Coupe - it was hard to actually think of any Korean car :p

Australia - Holden VE Commodore SS

I'd swap the boring and uninspiring Korean slot for Czech Republic and there I'd go with MTX Tatra V8

I know, it's a rebadged Impreza, but I thought you'd used quite a cheeky way to circumvent the rules :lol:. Open to interpretation though, I classified the Falcon as an Aussie car, where technically any Ford would be American, Holdens too, I guess.

Anyways, I didn't correct you, because it was a fast one :lol:

Edit: As far as Korean cars go, laugh if you will, but instead of having a beater pony, I really am quite warm to the new KIA Optima. If I were to buy a car in that particular segment, I'd probably gravitate towards that car. It looks great.

Many of the choices are brilliant guys, and I'd have no problem choosing them as well.

Germany: Porsche 959 (lusted after one ever since I played Test Drive 2)

US: Tucker Torpedo (because it's awesome)
https://pic.armedcats.net/m/ma/magnet/2010/04/03/tucker-cars-1.jpg
 
Damn, I can't believe I forgot the Tucker. That car had such promise.
 
Technically, there would have to be several dream garages on several continents, as most of these cars are not legal in the US; but I guess the key word is "dream".

U.S. - 1968 Dodge Charger R/T
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/1968-dodge-charger11.jpg

Germany - Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/porsche_911_carrera_rs_2-7_72.jpg

UK - Aston Martin DB5 (Who wouldn't want to pretend to be James Bond?)
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/Aston_Martin-DB5_1963_1024x768_wallpaper_02.jpg

France - Peugeot 504 Cabriolet by Pininfarina - one of the most beautiful postwar French cars ever made
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/Peugeot-504-Cabriolet-a19323774.jpg

Sweden - Volvo Amazon/122S coup? - like the one pictured, only with the bumpers removed and a set of Minilites
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/img1508.jpg

Japan - Nismo R34 GTR Z Tune - the last Skyline with the legendary RB26 engine
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/news.jpg

Korea - Proto Spirra: because I got sick of seeing the Genesis :lol:
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/2005102214243900spirra24ch.jpg

Italy - Ferrari Daytona Spyder, what else?
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/1971FerrariDaytona.jpg

Australia - Ford Falcon XB GT coup?
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/20070210_IMG_6524.jpg

Russia - not on BlindIo's list, but a lot of people are including it, so here's my pick: ZiL 130 (Needs afterburners, though.)
https://pic.armedcats.net/p/ph/phoenixsac/2010/04/03/ZiL-130__ZiL-131.jpg
 
godamn, this is hard... I've looked over this whole thread so far and haven't seen any bad choices... and I'd probably change my mind myself if I had a lot of time to think about it... anyway, heres my try:

US: 1969 Cobra Jet Mach 1 with Shaker Hood Scoop
48_3.jpg


Germany: 1929 Mercedes Benz SSK
070707-091631.jpg


UK: DB4, because I decided that I would do unspeakable things for one of these a long time ago
DB4-2-1.jpg

(yes I like the bugeye headlights better than the recessed headlights on the DB5 and 6)

France: Bugatti Type 35
1928-bugatti-type-35b-grand-prix.jpg


Sweden: Koenigsegg Agera
Koenigsegg-Agera-2011-02-1.jpg


Japan: New NSX... this is production...ish :p
Honda-Super-GT-Racer-widescreen--1.jpg


Korea: K-131 Jeep, just because I don't think its been picked yet
K-131.jpg


Australia: Ford Falcon XB GT coupe
xb2dgt.jpg


Italy: Ferrari 250 GTO... yeah... I just went ahead and picked this one before this choice drove me crazy
250gto.jpg


Russia: Volga M-21 V8 KGB edition... which i'm pretty sure this isnt a picture of, but you get the idea
GAZ21-Volga_1.jpg



But Wait... theres more!

Spain: this Hispano-Suiza

(I wish I knew the exact model...)

I give up. This one is way too hard. I can't decide if I want to go all out on super performance, or get collectibles (i.e. Ford GT vs. Tucker Torpedo, Koenigsegg vs. Volvo 850, etc). I also can't figure out how to strike a good balance.

The only country I was able to narrow down is Russia:

The ZiL 41047

I thought of it, but "the last of the V8 Interceptors" doesn't count as a production car IMHO. A "normal" Falcon XB would be cool, though.... I decided for its modern successor anyway, but I see you've started a trend. ;)

Well, I was saying that I'd take the Falcon and upgrade it, really. And yes, others seem to have remembered the thing exists. :D
