$toffz 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 Had a chat last night about old guilty pleasures. Got me thinking about cars and the ones i used to drool over but now wonder what the hell i was thinking. When I first go to NZ i thought the Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo was just pure awesome. What did you used to drool over but now think not a chance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingkarl 136 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 When I was 14 I had a thing for e class mercs and e30s with massive chromes. Embarrassing phase that was. When the 458 italia was first released I loved it, now I'm not such a fan and far prefer the f430. When I was super young I used to like the 90s wagon subaru imprezas. One of my most hated cars now. I used to hate the e60 but like many others now adore it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same on the e60, now I think it looks great, especially the M5 or a tastefully done 545 or 550 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 134 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) As a kid i planned on owning a 1990 ish to 1994 ish legacy sedan. Didnt know what turbo etc was but loved the shape. Still not a bad car if not thrashed I guess. I also loved my mates mums bright red mazda limited 2 door rotary. But I suppose it too isnt a bad car either. I guess I dont have regrets, i've always had good taste in cars Edited February 3, 2011 by nath Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Toyota Soarers. Oh god..... I had 5 of the stupid things. A sports car that was not sporty at all - Heavy, soft and especially impractical. Though I still do like my Celsior/Aristo (LS400/GS300) barges, smooth and unsporty, like a luxo barge should be. .

Driftit 2093 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 I use to like any Mazda Rotary. Can't stand them now unless they are stock original. I also use to like Drifting and the cars involved in it.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 Either, but prefer the Mk 1's, and I was quite a bit younger than Dan when they first came on the scene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
