Porsches. I'm a sucker for the Porsche flat-6 rumble.

A man with good taste! I'm also a sucker for a porker! :P

When I was in the states I would drool over a Corvette. But I almost orgasamed over Vipers. That V10 sound just has to be heard to believe!

Forgetting the cars i will only ever see in magazines or Burrows drive day it would have to be:

- any 57-65 Vette :P

- 92-96 Vette especially ZR1s and Callaways

- Tough 68-69 Camaros

- Tough 65-68 Mustangs

- 1994-Present TVRs

Or tough as nails modern track cars like GT3 Porka or Lotus Exige , TTV8 Espirit... oh if only i was rich

Yeh i think the thread went missign when the forum went down earlier in the year.

I would kill for that '69 Camaro...My Powerball winning would be well spent ...hell its even the right colour:)

I love:

Group B Rally Cars that were banned- peugeot 205, lancia 037, lancia delta s4, audi quatro.

Old Mustangs, Monaro's, Impala's and other low riders...

Alfa gtv's, all skylines, supra's, rx7's (series 4 up), pritty much most jap imports...

Did you know a rally driver names Henri Toivenen in 1986 took the lancia delta s4 round Estoril the Portugese F1 track and the time he got would have placed him 6th on the grid for the F1 that year. Saddly in Corsica Herni Toivenen died and Group B rally cars came to an end.

take it easy

Have u ever actually seen one on road in Australia though?
I haven't seen one yet but they also have not been here for very long....

I am sure after being at the motorshow that someone with too much money should pick one up....

I think there are a lot more exotics down in melbourne though....

Well if you are in Sydney just keep your eyes OPEN :(

Article from A.I.M.S. here: http://carsguide.news.com.au/aims/story/0,...6-28977,00.html

"The three firm orders are all from Sydney, all have property development as their core business and all are in their 40s."

Looks nice in black.

Not too many S4's on Aussie roads though makaveli, but they sure were awsome cars.

They took the S4 in race trim around one of the F1 tracks in '86 or 87 (can't remember which one) & it would have qualified 6th on the F1 grid at that track that year!

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
