Wow Pauly, some really nice cars you are surrounded with, me-really-jealous :) Have you got more pictures of that Corvette? It looks absolutely stunning.

I'm currently driving this:

Very nice. Thanks for the comments guys, I know 'yank tanks' are an aquired taste but I've always had a passion for late 60's early 70's 'muscle cars' hence the Road Runner.
Chec this link for a little vid of it.

niceeeee... this Corvette look amazing! I know pictures often don't tell the full truth, but this one you can tell straight away someone spent serious cash on maintaining it. Did you buy it that way, or was it you getting it all done?

Regarding bmw, I do like the wheels a lot, what are they?

You are a very lucky man, to be able to drive such cars... the way it all goes nowadays, we gonna all go electric soon, or we gonna have cars with like 0.5L engines and 5turbos ... so the growling noise of the big-old engine will be lost forever :(

On my second Seat similar to InfernalBadger's, just got rid of my 58 plate speed blue leon FR, had black wheels and blue mirrors ;)) got me a 12 plate leon supercopa in.......ehhh, speed blue, love that colour, sliver wheels and K1 kit as standard this time and got my mirrors blue again ;))

Used to have a vectra b sri, was great but wanted something a little smaller. Prior to that had a civic coupe, the most amazing handling care I've ever had but not the quickest.

pics to follow

in a bit

I'm sure I'll get a laugh out of this, but this is my baby at the moment:

She's a 1999 Ford Ka Black Limited Edition, no. 436 of 1000 made. Not exactly luxury but with leather, aircon, etc she's not bad. Once I sell her, then I'm probably going to get me one of these:

Always had a soft spot for Lexus :p Will be a bit of a jump from my shed at the moment!

Why thank you mishra, actually it was not quite as you see from the photo's :eek:
Pictures always seem to make the subject look better than it is in real life... The Candy Apple red Vette was bought as you see it but what you can't see from the photo's is that the paintwork was a liitle tired in places, had quite a lot of chips too, especially around the door edges.
Sorry but I can't remember any details about the BMW wheels.

Currently driving a 1.0L Yaris (not mine but exactly the same model and colour)

It has a whole 69BHP and a blistering 0-60 time of 15.7 seconds, it's great...

Ideal car at the moment would have to be the DBS

Been around a while but I still love it.

Me and the missus swap round as needed for boot space and seats, but we've got a Clio 182 Trophy and an S2000 in ladyboy blue. Whatever ends up being the car du jour, it's a winner either way. No doubt it'll be something a bit more tedious/practical next time round...

Porsche 928, needs a couple of bits doing but not suitable to drive in snow etc so hopefully on the road for next summer.

Looks like this, but not my specific car,

My ideal car would probs be this

Hummer H2 hummer-h2-safari.jpg, this Camaro SS tony-stewart-chevrolet-camaro-zl1.jpg, or this Ford F650 jbs1a.jpg

As you can see my tastes are not very suited for this country lol. If I had the money I'd probs get the H2 and the Camaro.
Quite fond of Dodge RAMs too 2009_Dodge_Ram_1500_Price.jpg

My ideal car is already tucked away in my garage, got it from a scrapyard as a project when I was still at school and wouldn't swap it for the world.....
