mark.supra Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I owned a Trans-Am they were great, but if i had to pick one it would be the DE LOREAN think its spelt like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Supra Mk II of course (the 2.8 version in two-tone blue). There's a beautiful red XR2 round my way that I see now and then, superb condition and used everyday. It's either lovingly restored or a complete shed with Halfords spray paint covering acres of filler and rust treatment! I think the Capri was in 2.8 Injection guise by then - the 3.0S was gone (as was the 2.0S 'Professionals' variant of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I had a 2.8 Mk2 in Silver. The second best car I've ever driven.. Much better then the Mk3 I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 928 was made cool because of the film Weird Science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 928 was made cool because of the film Weird Science Is it not Risky Business you are thinking of? 928 was great and yes electrics could be a prob but never had a problem with mine. I only had the poorly 4.7 litre, the 5litre was so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 No, Weird Science When Wyatt gets his Ferrari and Gary gets his Porsche. Its a 928 that they pick Kelly LeBrock up from the mall with. Then do a wicked burn out as they leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Nope beg to differ, Risky Business 1983, Weird Science 1985. Ask any 928 owner about Rebecca De Mornay and if it had any impact on their choice to buy the 928.

Countach is the all time greatest, simply because of the Cannonball Run movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
