I'm just getting my own back on the rest of the forum for encouraging me to buy more cars on my credit card!!!

I'll see your SVX.... and add a Subaru XT into the mix....

Just for you, Phil

How about a Nissan S-Cargo?

Chrysler 300C (I'd love one of the old Hemi's)?

NSU Ro80 (For any wankelers out there)?

AMC Pacer (Actually, that one I don't like)?

I've always wanted a real General Lee. Nope, not a '69 Charger, but rather, a '58 Chrysler 300D! Ugly as sin, completely out of proportion, but a legend of a car!

Though the ultimate for marmite cars will have to be anything that Harley J Earl designed as a concept. Here's a few of his legends.

1951 GM LeSabre

The 1953 GM Futurliners

1954 GM Bonneville Special

1959 Cadillac XP74 Cyclone

Speaking of hammering credit cards I was at my mate's yard Saturday and I spotted an E34 M5 that he's had in the corner for ages.

More like a good money pit

but you're quite right, I've been lax and now Iain has gotten way ahead of me in car numbers, I probably should do something about it. Just have to hope he doesn't up the ante and actually get one working, then I'll really have my work cut out for me

Haha, I am a fan of the yank tanks. I can tell you that a 350 is a Chevy motor, yet a 351 is a Ford engine and the 360 is a Dodge lump. Ford and Dodge bolt patterns are usually 5x4.5" (5x114.3 for the 5th genners out there!), Chevy bolt patterns are generally 5x4.75", and Buick are mostly 5x5".
