doh - forgot to check Elise!
But did check mini - and meant the original one! Also a Westfield I built - see avatar plus some old Aussie muscle cars when young! Last edited by Aedo : 10-04-2006 at 06:15 PM. Reason: forgot a couple of interesting ones! |

Any ex-Integra Type R owners here? A true 'factory race car'.
I had a 98 Type R that my dad bought brand new. He bought a 2001 yellow Type R and I bought the 98 from him. I had it 4 years, the longest I ever had a car. It was extremely difficult to part with!

So does a Datsun Z count as a Nissan Z? I've had two of those... come to think of it, one of them had both names on it. ('79, right at the transition to Nissan)

I'm a 23 yr old male that is house broken and can do lots of amusing tricks  The results seem pretty typical. There are more 911 owners then I thought. Seemed like there were more former MR2 owners as well. |

My thoughts so far: Many of us like small, relatively modest powered sports cars. Of course the Porsche 911 doesn't completely fall into this category unless you go back a couple of decades. Noble

Again, there are a number of cars that I really wanted to put on this list, but with a limit of 20 vehicles, some had to hit the cutting room floor. I desperately wanted to put the Jeep Wrangler on the list. But in the end, I limited the list to two-door, two-seat sports cars (you can hardly call them back seats in a few of these cars) that were most likely to have been owned. Are there any gross omissions that anybody can think of, besides the Noble, of course?

I really like the looks of the very early Countachs, pre- wheel flairs/wings etc. (P5000?) I've had 7 Lotuses. 3 S2 Europas 2 Elites (new) 1 Lotus Cortina Oh yeah, a couple of SAAB Sonetts (the early type V4), sold one to Satch Carlson, which is a story in itself. I also forgot to put in the Elise, since I was thinking of cars owned BEFORE the Elise. Mark Last edited by lotus54 : 10-06-2006 at 12:09 PM. |
