Chasing after cars you worshiped as a kid....
 

I'm really reading a lot about Ferrari 328 GTB or GTS. About 1988 vintage. Was my absolute favorite.

F-40's and Testarossa's are still above my pay grade...need to be swapping a few more boilers!

E type jag. Always wanted one. Fantastic curves on that body.

959.

Nothing more need be said.

First car with TPMS? Wasn't this some major breakthrough car?

Jaguar XKE.

I never saw one in real life, they were way before my time, but my family often quotes me as saying I wanted one (I was 10 at the time).

More eye candy:
Jaguar XKE

Wow. Anything '60s is £95,000 - £165,000. :eek:

I visited a Porsche showroom as a high schooler and looked over a 356. (A Volvo 544 was there, too.)

Now I fantasize my Boxster is similar.

For those thinking of XKEs, recall that those 4-speeds didn't have 1st gear synchromesh. The photo posted is a later, uglier version. Big turn signals, uncovered headlights. Still 3 wipers, though, something I thought at the time was ultra cool.

I remember going to Porsche's website in high school and "Building My Own Boxster". This was in 1998. Now I own a 99. How about that?

The carrera gt was the halo car for my childhood....... sometimes it isnt good to feel so young haha. With everyone on the old jags, 356, older ferraris. My real sweet spot though is late 90s to early 2000s, something fairly unpopular but i feel that its the last of the analog with many manufactures and the general curvy smooth styling is really nice with ferraris of the time and our 986 Porsches, Maseratis of the time look great. Out of all later model lamborghinis i prefer the diablo vt. Just alot of good cars made in the late 90s

My dream car to this day, is a 1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Targa. I WILL own one. Oh yes, she will be mine.

Lamborghini Countach.
It will be mine...oh yes, it will be mine ;)

I'm not worthy! :eek:

For me it was Magnum PI's 1977 308 GTI. Man I loved that car. Liked the 328 more though.

Wayne's World! Party Time!! Excellent!!

Wow! that Jag is amazing :eek:

For me, if I understand what woreship means, then it was not a car.

^ that would be it also - in yellow. Alsohad a crush for those old wide body 911s as a kid

No Delorean love???

I'm with Nine8Six a mighty dump truck, a front end loader and then in later year's a guards red 930 Turbo with whale tail. I also thought 928's were very cool, still do working on the better half to agree to another fun car in the family - a very remote possibility at this time. :matchup:

This is what I want. I want to be able to drive it on the street.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1398145875.jpg

+1 on the 930 in guards red. A few years ago they we're selling in the mid $20s and I thought it might be within reach, but now they've moved a bit farther away.

That was actually Robin Masters 308 (aka - Higgins) :D

I was about 5 in the late 70's and someone in the neighborhood (I never figured out who) owned a mid-late 70's 911S or SC. I just loved the way it looked and sounded when it drove by. One time an neighbour's dog ran out in the road and it effortlessly swerved around it like a race car. I have wanted one ever since. I just about bought an 80 SC targa about 10 years ago, but was going through a job change and didn't pull the trigger. I've been reading some of the restoration threads online about S and SC's and I want one again. Too bad they have gone up in price quite a bit in the last 10 years. I will just have to keep enjoying my Boxster for now.

I had too many cars I desired as a kid... :o

Wasn't Higgins the caretaker for Robin Masters? Car really did belong to Higgins in real life as I recall? (Or one of them, not Tom Selleck)

1970 Boss 302 mustang
These are the cars I grew up with

I'm not chasing because they are more expensive now then most older Farraris and Porsches

That exact one in that picture has always been my childhood dream car.

Some say it was the last true super car; it was so impractical for anything other than performance.

I'm with Timco - always wanted a 308 or 328, in red of course. I've actually been semi-serious in looking at them a couple of times over the last few years. If I stumble across the right one it could happen, as long as it doesn't mean giving up the Boxster.

I do like the XKE's but I would have no interest in taking on the maintenance headache of owning any Jag.

I drove a 69 Boss 302, it was a fun car. a real land yacht though when compared to modern sports cars... now a 66 GT40... that car is pure magic.

+2, 930 in black, rims black with a polished lip:D

I had pretty adult tastes for a kid.

either of these. We had small models in the house.

A book about this car sat on my nightstand.

I drove my folks bonkers for a month wanting this Bimmer

And this was my idea of a cool Porsche. I always thought the 911 looked too much like a VW Beetle (until I saw the slant nose on TV).

Renting a 308 for a day quickly cured me! :(

Yes, Higgins was the caretaker of Robins Nest, but it was revealed in either the last episode or a TV special that he was actually Robin Masters...or highly suggested. Can't remember.

I was so obsessed with this car...

I have a drawing of it around here somewhere that I did when I was eight years old (1986) :D

not a big fan of the production countachs with the flares and the spoilers and the big scoops and whatnot, but check out the prototype lp500 or the initial production lp400 - pure art.

a guy nearby had a yellow Countach. The first time I saw it up close I couldn't believe how small the car was. My Boxster looked bigger.

I love the old SL, such a beautiful car, i love seeing them in person!

You didn't like it?

For all you Jag lovers, this is me in 76 (I'm the little one). My parents gave me the sports car bug early. The car is still in the family but in need of major surgery.

Little or not, you seem to look like a proud "owner" lol

Brilliant pic mate :cheers:

I always have to break this down into a couple catagories....

1) True DREAM car that I will never be able to get....1968 427 AC Cobra. No comforts, just pure power. The truest testament this car is that there are more replicas available than there are originals.

2) Dream car that I may be able to get in the future....1968 Ford Mustang GT (J code). Semi-rare and only year with that code. I had one once, and ALWAYS pissed that I got rid of it.
