What's your favourite classic car?
Reading HWP's thread regarding cars made me think of my favourite classic car - the Citroen DS 
Our neighbours had one when I was little in light blue & I just loved it
I love the head lights, the hugh bonnet/hood & the way it tapers off at the back. If I had one i'd love one in black as IMO they are a pretty sexy looking car
What's yours

So hard to choose just one...
XK120
Ferrari Dino
Lambo Miura
If I had to choose it would be the Lambo, if only for that fantastic V12, and the looks, and the mystique.

The last time I saw one here in Canada was in downtown Ottawa....the owner was an ex-pat in his 60's, sporting a very posh accent and an ascot....despite this, I still love the car.

Re: What's your favourite classic car?
never ceases to amaze me that ford techs base their colours on the pills they are taking for the depression they have working for ford, or the colour of the crap they had this morning.
got into a new crown vic at work yesterday. checked back seat for usual crap left by my customers, and on lifting the back seat found i could look straight down onto the road through the hole there, nice.
maser. lovely.
