Here's mine and my dog loves it too:

That's not a car it's a roller skate!!!!

Not true. those are really nice cars. This particular one comes in 3 (practically identical) flavors - Toyota, Citroen and Peugot. If everybody would be driving cars this size, there would be a lot less trouble in the world and we would stop fighting over oil. Any car that cannot do at least 50MpG (and I do not mean Imperial Gallons) should be banned.

Here's one more car from Car Show here in Leipzig imentioned. The 2,000,000th Opel, build in 1957. Model is Kapitän (Captain in English):



Everything that glitters is real 24 carat gold.

Thanks for that. The odd thing is that being such a small car when I checked the tyre (tire) pressures there was a different figure for cruising at 90 mph. Yes 90 mph. I'm not prepared to say if I have tried to get to that speed but I wouldn't like to argue with Toyota, I know I would loose on that one, seriously. Bit of wind noise though and the windscreen wipers tend to lift off over 80mph. (so they tell me, anyway)
P.S. Years ago I used to drive a Sunbeam Tiger. Sunbeam Alpine body with a Ford V8 engine. Big hump was made in the bonnet to accommodate the air filter! That was quick.

Kari, funny that you posted that model. I owned 2 of those. One in yellow with a white roof and one in baby blue with a white roof (that was the style in those days). The last one was smashed up in an intersection of the Boulevards exterieurs in Paris. I then bought a VW bug - for 7500FF which would be €1200 (about $1700) today.

My grandpa had a Kapitän in Finland in early 60's, used as a taxi.

We really admired this Opel Kapitän yesterday. Every screw, every part that normally would be chrome is 24 carat gold. The car belongs to a private car museum. Here's a pic of the same car found on the net:

Anyone of these would suit me fine.

Anyone of these would suit me fine.

Yes, if the grocery store is 2 blocks away and you only have 3 seconds to run and get butter before dinner. otherwise, I hear the turning radius and mpg are horrible.

It's more like FEET per gallon, and there's not a lot of trunk space either.

But like the title says, Your Dream Car.

 

[Thorsen]

.0001 mpg lol

Obama was reading this and just fainted.
(sorry not trying to get political just making a funny)

Edit: estimate on conversion of mpg to feet/gallon was way off.

I have my dream car in my garage.

1962 Pontiac Bonneville

Work in progress. Hehe

 

[CarlTR6]

Very cool! We had a 62 Bonnie.

 

[whs]

Cool. I wish I still had my 1962 Olds Dynamic 88 convertible. It was white with a red top and red interior. Beautiful car - I should have never sold it. I liked the 65 Bonnies.

Nice choice of car, a neighbor down our street has one in his garage. My mom practically melts whenever she sees it. xD

My dad had a Reliant Scimitar which was a nice ride although the smell of the leather inside did make our family a wee bit sick...

This is my fav...

2007 Audi RS4

Very nice choice!! Audi have always had beautiful cars, and as my brother said many times: "The only thing better than an Audi S4 is an Audi RS4." Lol.

Anyone of these would suit me fine.

You know that those engines are completely stripped and rebuilt after every drag race...? And that they use a full 50l tank per race...? Although, I must admit, the 7500hp average they put out is a very nice figure..

Edit: So.... We now know what cars you wish you had, but what cars do you currently have? I started another thread to show off our four-wheeled beasts over here; Show Us Your Car...

Well, while it's not exactly my "dream car", it appears somebody has a very nice machine sitting in their garage. A friend of mine snapped these pics as we drove past this car on the back of a truck... Not even sure what it is really, couldn't see any badges.
