Postby LittleDragon » Wed Mar 08, 2006 11:13 am

I started this thread on another board with great response. BCMR2 is a more mature crowd, I wanted to see if the response is different... post your pics! I'll start

Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

300SL Roadster

Ferrari 250 GT California

If you're interested in what younger folks think, here's the original thread

I must agree, the 300SL Gullwing is the most beautiful car ever made, my picks are: Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 250GTO

It's a tough call, but for me it's probably the Lotus Esprit and all of its variations down through the years. There's just something about that car that makes my blood run hot and the heart goes quicker. I'd own one if they weren't unreliable junk boxes.

I'm a ferrari nut myself so I would have to go with the F40. Bascily a more powerful MR2 j/j. But of the merc and 250 it has to be the 250 everyday nothing sounds better than a Ferrari. The F40 was also the last Ferrari to be made under the eyes of Enzo Ferrari himself. As Jeremy Clarkson put it "seat, ass, road, the end."

If only I knew how to post pictures, I would put the Enzo! To me, a Ferrari nut also, for quite a number of years by the way, I just love the resemblance of the front of the Enzo to the F1 car! Just lovely! 8)

I'd have to agree with Ron on this one. The ferrari 355 (especially hard-top) is a beautiful design at every camera angle you can imagine. My dream cars are the 1999 ferrari 355 6-speed manual with hardtop and the Ferrari 250 GTO 1993MR2 posted.

The first time I saw the GTO was in the motion picture Vanilla Sky with Tom cruise and not even that one was an authentic. Does anyone know how much these cost and how "few and far between" they are?

The link below shows a couple of Porsche Carrera GT pics I had taken by my friend. I personally like the kid in the candy shop pic, HA!!
