Calling all car enthusiasts... post up a pic!

Not as exotic as some of the beautiful cars on here, but she's my baby.

1991 Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v (Turbo)

Wow, you are right. I would have guessed the rarest would have been a MystiChrome convertible but turns out that was the 3rd most produced color after Black and Silver. The Competition Orange I was looking at was a coupe though and heavily modified.

Very impressive list of cars you have owned over the years

This beauty came up for sale today in my neck of the woods.

Only two things wrong with it.

1. I want a silver car with red interior

2. Price tag had one 0 too many

There are a couple of “manufactured” ones out there. Really well done. Only chassis number will give them up.

You know what Caroll Shelby said:

"Out of the 1,800 Cobra's I built there are only 8,000 left".

I agree, for a car almost 60 years old it's amazing (even though it had a frame off resto).

Congrats! I came from an f80 m3 lol so I understand your concerns. Really there are none because you feel no need that be c*ck swinging or stop light racing anyone because frankly, you’d lose every time

Don't have one single favourite, but I do have many pics of cars...

Here's a small compendium. Happy to share larger images or more if anyone is keen...

I love the Foxbody Mustang. My dad has a custom ordered 1986 GT. I do not have a picture or I would post, but it is all black with red letters and some louvers on the back. About 85k miles on it now.

Super Silver GTRs are some of the best painted "regular" vehicles.

Flawless.
