Today's Coffee Brake comes inspired from AbnMike who writes: "What car or cars (up to five) that have appeared on DT would you buy
and why? The vehicle must have appeared as a feature in a DT post." Imagine for a minute that you've hit the lottery and are now a hundred millionaire. You can buy any 3-5 cars you want, but they need to be from the pages of DailyTurismo. What do you pick?
DT Editor Vince quick picks:
I'm going to get the cheap C5 Z06 for a weekend fun trip car, the Hyundai Equus for a family hauler, the Dodge Powerwagon restomod for double duty hauler/classic, and finally the Porsche 912 V8 deathmobile for a track car.
What do you pick? Comments below.
i'd have the Roadmaster converted to Neptunian-standard right-hand drive - one or the other E28 M5 - and then 3 at random, on 30-day rotation
ReplyDeleteoh, and that scruffy blue Lancia Fulvia Sport from way back that i can't get out of my head - time for the matchbox one to reappear in the header, boss
DeleteOh man, research...back later
ReplyDeleteIt is a good question. I think we all fantasize about cars we can afford but would love to own. I always thought someday I would buy a 360 Modena. Just read an article about a guy that saved up and got one and how it really wasn't a good experience.
ReplyDeleteI could see myself buying a Ford GT, Mercedes 300sl, and a Mclaren p1.
I would probably end up driving an e30 after buying all of this.
Sorry, didn't read the requirements
DeleteMy one pick built DT style for me. So great
Ferrari Powered Alfa
1983 Audi Ur-Quattro. Have wanted one ever since seeing John Buffum drive one at a Pro Rally in 1982.
ReplyDelete1989 Lancia Delta Integrale. The Italian answer to the Quattro. Plus it is legal in the states now.
1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina. Must have one 105 series Alfa in the collection.
1973 Kawasaki H2 Mach IV. The baddest two smoker there is.
There are TONS but these were the first 5 that came to mind
ReplyDelete1980 Mercedes-Benz Wagon W123, Chevy 5.7L V8 Swap
YoshiFab 1992 Volvo 780 LS1 V8Swap
1965 Corvair Turbo
1972 Mercedes W108 at the top of this review
1965 Clark Cortez Motor Home to cruise around the US looking for more cars!

ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this? Anyone wanna buy a testicle?
Some see a ratty old diesel, some see a GTI clone free from smog checks forever...
Perfect color.
A unicorn perhaps even more scarce than the R63 AMG.
I'm with you on the E34M5T - on the Rabbit I see a ratty old diesel
DeleteI'm on this. Hardest part will be limiting myself to five...
ReplyDeleteOh, BTW, the interior swap on the 1800es has begun. As fetching as the smurf hides are, they have dry rotted in enough places to finally annoy me into changing them out. As for color, I'm going with the Volvo tan from VP.

ReplyDeletepotentially badass and no guilt over ruining a real one
ReplyDeletewhat's my name?
yes, because it is pure ridiculousness
explanation unnecessary
see above, and fix the belts
I dunno why I didn't chime in here, but I have my list ready. I limited selections only to cars I personally wrote up.
ReplyDeleteBecause Volvo 242
FZJ80 Land Crusher for utility, camping, crushing. Restyled front end adds some nostalgic charm.
Turbo Suba-Beetle for the LOLz
E34 M5 Touring for those long 150mph road trips
F20-powered 1800ES for the Hoonz
I guess it's also telling that all of these are variations of vehicles that I have actually owned, past or present.
Damn, Cflo. I totally forgot about that f20 Volvo. That was a sweet recapitulation.
