I've always really liked Lotus Esprits
My dad built and drove one of these when he was young. No wonder he bagged my mother.
Love, love, my season |

worse, this is what he bought after that until i was 19:
He said "don't worry just slur when you tell them you drive a volare and they think you are saying ferarri" yeah, thanks dad. he bought an 87 VW Golf GTI 16V when I was 19 so he made up for it somewhat, i eventually bought that off him and it was very good to me until the timing belt broke and i damaged 7 of the 16 valve stems, do'h!

Hell yeah, shiney.
Babe magnet?
Hell, that thing is a babe black hole.
Bitches just get sucked off the sidewalk and stick to the side of the car.
Floop, one cannot entertain any reasonable VW enthusiasm without becoming enamoured with the Porsche- especially the early stuff. See that Speedster in the window of HPM's dad's car pic?
Every time I see a 356 I get all oogly. |

actually, that does look pretty cool too shine. although you probably didn't think so when you were 16. i guess your dad selling the Porsche was a way of saving your life, in a way. if i had a porsche when i was 16 i would not be alive today (it's amazing i am as it is)..
kim, yeah, i'm not a Porsche-guy, at all. at least the new ones.. they've always seemed very yuppie / old-man-going-through-mid-life-crisis-esque. but those old 60's ones. and even late 50's.. they're SO FUCKING COOL. i've been fixating lately.. unfortunately they're pretty up there in price (not like buying an old volvo).. but, we can always fantasize can't we?
yes please

I don't like most cars made after the 70s. I'm a big fan of the vw beetle. In Cape Town they're driven by all the students. In one houseshare I lived in we used 4 vw beetles parked outside at once with a camper van thrown in for good measure. At the time we had a crazy german student living with us, he had a curious penchant for strutting about the house in his y fronts with them yanked up to under his armpits, but I digress - Jurgen used to wake up at sunrise to photograph the sun rising behind all the beautiful Volkswagens - often.
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A

You had cooool parents. I used to love Firebirds as a kid. I remember when my dad brought one hjome from his garage when I was a kid. I made him drive me round to all my friends parent's houses, I felt so cool. You have remember that they are very rare in this country, so everyone was impressed.
Love, love, my season |

Smokey and the Bandit. Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Sally Field. 1979 or 80. big (dunno why) flick here...firebird sales hit the roof. the Bandit (burt r.) drove a black trans am with the screamin' turkey on the hood.
give it a watch if you like semi-trucks (think you call 'em lorries). kind of a redneck-fave movie, i suppose. ( i liked it when I was little because of the car--same reason I liked Dukes of Hazzard. ok ok, daisy wasn't bad either but that's for another post) |

Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of The Dukes Of Hazard for some strange reason. You can see why I was confused.
Yeah I saw Smokey as a kid.

nice datsun, mun chien...here's the closest pic I could find of my first car. i beat my little truck all to crap...(it had an extended cab with broken window hinges so I'd just reach in and open the doors...) after I killed it, I got the mighty mighty firebird. and then the girls really started payin' attention! :)
