You wanted that when you were a kid? Are you really young (seen it in gone in 60 seconds but you were a kid) or really old (seen the real deal)?

Same here, can't believe I forgot about that, I was 12 when that film came out, only feels like yesterday.

For me it was any of the these:

 

Not a super car (well maybe the 220) or Japanese sports car in sight :rolleyes: but Rallying was huge in the early 80's :-

I remember having Jazz the Transformer growing up and when Bad Boys came out when i was 13, i fell in love with that 993 Porsche! I still want one but can't believe how expensive they still are! I nearly had a heart attack when I looked on Pistonheads. 20k-100k! :blink:

I always wanted a Jaguar MKII (red like Insp Morse) or XK 140 Roadster (White). Such lovely elegant cars.

 

I liked the Jaguar XK220 but I won a competition called the Rover Challenge at school and got to go and visit the manufacturing plant and drive one. Kind of spoilt the dream for me on that one.

i always wanted an Escort RS cosworth, then after that i think it was a Imprezza P1, but i was young then so settled for a 206 GTi, that was after trying to put an cosworth bodykit on an XR3i, that was about the time the fast and furious came out and i started to notice the supra, then on the A1 after being on leave i seen a red UK spec supra that left me standing, after that i watched 'getaway in stockholm' with the black supra and had to have one, so i part ex'ed the 206 for my first aerotop supra in 2004
