[Humpty's Revenge]

Car :- 1967 Ford Mustang

Film :- Bullitt

Reason why :- Why my choice of car, the mustang from Bullitt is just iconic for that era, one of the top ten muscle cars of all time plus I feel no other car would of looked as it did in that staring role!

[andydckent]

Car: - 1982 DeLorean

Film Etc :- Back to the Future

Reason why :- Used to love this film as a kid and watched it hundreds of times. Even though the DeLorean is renowned for being a pretty crappy car I would still love to own one.

[mesobitchy]

Car: - 1982 - 1986 Pontiac Trans Am

Film Etc :- knightrider

Reason why :- its KITT isnt it? dont need anyother reasion! /lol

[gareth001]

Car: - 1977 Pontiac TransAm

Film Etc :- Smokey and the Bandit

Reason why :- The sound of the TransAm's chevy V8 is lovely, unlike in knight rider where it's nearly always dubbed over with a turbine sound (sorry mesobitchy).

[orionn2o]

Car: - General Lee Dodge Charger

Film Etc :- The Dukes of Hazzard

Reason why :- When you hear it start for the first time after the Hemi engine is fitted. Sounds like a drag lol !

[elnevio]

Car: 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT

Films: Mad Max & Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior

Why: "The last of the V8 Interceptors"; The *cough* fake *cough* supercharger, the hunt for precious 'guzzoline'; just looked hard as nails and all-round awesome!

[Spirit]

Car: 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

Film: Gone In 60 Seconds

Why: The looks and the sound are pure sex for a petrolhead :iloveyou:

[WildCards]

Car: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Film: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Why: Loved the car and film as a kid, now my kids love the car and the film. Also, it's a car, a plane and a hovercraft all in one, how they managed to create such an amazing machine all those years ago is a remarkable feat that none of the current manufacturers seem to be able to recreate, perhaps that's why the motor industry is going down the pan!

[White Lightning]

Car: - Pontiac Trans Am aka KITT

Film Etc :- Knight Rider

Reason why :- Loved the series as a kid, even had KITT stickers on my bunk bed! ... and still I think of KITT whenever I see black allows with chrome edging :)

[nuster100]

Car: - 2009 Aston Martin DBS

Film: Casino Royale / Quantom of Solace

Why: Its bond's car, and that orgasmic exhaust note sends shivers down my spine.

[pedro]

Car/Van: - 1983 GMC G-Series (G-15) Van

Film Etc :-A-Team

Reason why :-This thing flippin shifted!!! the v8 growl was awesome, and i love those BF Goodrich tyres, on red rims. Oh and meaty bullbars!!

The funny thing was there wasnt a scratch on it even after countless car chases and gun battles!!! If you dont agree with me, then your a "crazyfool"!!!!!
:Mr-T:

edit: Car/Van:

[TAR]

Car: Lotus Esprit

Film: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Lotus Esprit Series 1
Why: Do you really need to ask?? :smitten:

I saw this film as a kid and fell in love with the great British Supercar. Colin Chapman's creation with Guigiaro's design created a legend which was very futuristic for its time.
A White Lotus crashing into the water and so gracefully transforming into a submarime, only to emerge again on the beach as a car - truley amazing.

Following this the film For Your Eyes Only (1981) introduced the Lotus Turbo Esprit. A car I truely love and own.

:happy:

this man has taste! much respecto ;)

i did, thought it was aceeeeeeeeeeee :)

[dave-at-home]

Vehicle: White Fiat Camper van

Programme: Max and Paddy's road to nowhere

Why: Its versatility - Cow killer, Pig Sty, Love Shack - oh and for appearing in one of the classic all time comedies!

Pigs on board!

[White Lightning]

this man has taste! much respecto ;)
did you ever have that noisy remote controlled KITT?
i did, thought it was aceeeeeeeeeeee :)

No, I never had a remote controlled KITT :(
But, I did have a set with a push along KITT that you could sort of rev up and let go into a shed and it would come out the otherside doing a wheelie ... :D

[mesobitchy]

But, I did have a set with a push along KITT that you could sort of rev up and let go into a shed and it would come out the otherside doing a wheelie ... :D
aaww man i want that!
you seen argo selling the kitt stuff? hehe me wants!

[Roadrunner]

Car: - 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400

Film Etc :- The Italian Job

Reason why :- 17 years old, just passed my test, just the best looking car on the planet. Still get a buzz watching it.

[Daft Lad Picko]

Car: Lotus 7

Film etc: The Prisoner (not old enough to remember watching it, but am aware of it)

Why: It's British!!!! It was designed by the late genius that is Colin Chapman!!!! It was so far ahead of it's time. The latest and ultimate incarnation of it 'The Caterham Levante' is the only road legal car that can stick with the awesome (if somewhat unreliable) Caparo F1. Oh and it is the most like my MNR, which makes my VR-4 look rather slow and fat.

p.s. I wanted to say: The Mystery Machine, every car out of the wacky races, the 'colour changing' Lambo out of Canonball Run (or Gumball, can't remember which), the Challenger out of Vanishing Point, the Mini's out of the Italian Job (the proper one, not the ****ty American remake, which was set in LA!?!?!), the Chevy out of Two Lanes Blacktop, the Ford Coupe out of American Grafetti.............................

In the new year we need to start a thread 'Top 10 Car Garage'; that'll get our grey matter working!!

[gareth001]

Car: Lotus 7

Film etc: The Prisoner (not old enough to remember watching it, but am aware of it)



OK can I change mine now? I didn't know the Lotus 7 was in a program or film as iconic as the prisoner (never seen it). Owning a Westfield then yes the Lotus 7 is a very iconic car with a large fan base and many copies e.g. Westfield, Robin Hood, Caterham etc...

[crazydriver81]

Car: 1981 GMC Sierra Grande

Film Etc : The Fall Guy

Reason why : Clearly the stunts and Heather Thomas... :D

[I-S]

[WildCards]

Ooh, can I have another one?

Car: Audi S8

Film: Ronin

Reason: Cool driving sequences in the film and I like German Bahnstormers

[stuey]

Car: AMC - Hornet Coupe

Film: James Bond - Man with the Golden Gun

Reason: Having been sneaked very young into the cinema, I witnessed my first car stunt when Bond jumps the river in the Mach 1 while barrel rolling 360 degrees over the broken bridge.. I then turned my mother asked if she could do that ?

[Eric]

Cant beleive this car hasnt been posted yet.. :D:D

Car: 1963 VW Beetle

File: The Love Bug, Herbie Rides Again, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, Herbie Goes Bananas, Herbie Fully Loaded.

[Adam.Findlay]

Car: 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

Film: Gone In 60 Seconds

Why: The looks and the sound are pure sex for a petrolhead :iloveyou:
AGREED, There is one of these beautys prowling in my home town with the personalised numberplate BADB0Y seeing it in real life just makes you apreciate how awesome these cars are, altought being american corners could be a touch scary.

[Beastlee]

I have to go with both Elanor and KITT. Elanor just look sand dounds great and KITT was something amazing from my childhood. I actually have a KITT voice system on my iPhone which looks like the voicebox and switches around it.

Good choice sir /yes

Although, it is Countach ... had posters of these all over my bedroom walls when I was a kid and still want one today! I have since found out that I am too tall to fit in one though :(

Guess I will have to just resort to a modern Lambo like a Gallardo or Murcielago one day instead :thumbsup:

[Humpty's Revenge]

Doing well so far! and many thanks for all those who have participated. Still need new votes. Here`s one for you Knight rider fans, whats your thoughts on the new Knight rider? I feel superb car but it does`nt quite cut it for me like the original!

[nuster100]

Supercharged Shelby GT500 KR. /megawoot

[gareth001]

Here`s one for you Knight rider fans, whats your thoughts on the new Knight rider? I feel superb car but it does`nt quite cut it for me like the original!

The problem with the new series - (how far through them are we in the UK now? As I watched them when there came out in the USA) is the way the car changes into other cars... I know the origional Knight Rider had it's moments where you thought no way can a car do that. But the new series takes that removal from reality just that one step further.

Fortunately though the new series was changed half way through as the producers listened to the viewers. The viewers were complaining about the amount of romance going on. Therefore the show was holted half way through whilst they made changes and then showed the rest of the series. It's good that the voice of the consumer is listened to once in a while. Hopefully the budget is there for series 2 though at some point as currently NBC are saying it's not going to happen

[CrossRoss]

Car: Aston Martin db-5

Film(s): Goldfinger, Thunderball, GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies & Casino Royale

Reason: revolving license plates numbers, bulletproof front-and-rear wind screen, dashboard equipped with a radarscope, homing devices (magnetically attached), armrest with left and right front-wing machine guns, smoke screen, oil slick, electronic tire shredders and a passenger ejection seat activated by a red button hidden atop the gear shift ... need I say Moore (well it was Connery actually!!)

30329

30330

And this was my favourite toy of all time ... shot bullets (match stick replacements) at my mum's cat!!

Car: - Lamborghini Coutach LP500s quattrovalave

Film Etc :- cannon ball run

Thats just what i was going for...... Ive always wanted on because of that film, and i will have one.... one day. I mean, who doesnt want a spoiler on the front of the car?

[Confused]

Car: - DeLoreon DC-12

Film Etc :- Back To The Future Trilogy

Reason why :- My favourite films. Ever. Watched them countless times, and even now the car "looks" futuristic. Prefer it in Part I guise (ie almost standard), but it does look quite funky even in Part II guise (as most people remember it, with the Mr Fusion), and it's somewhat cool even in Part III guise, with the massive 50's technology circuit board strapped to the bonnet and the white-wall tyres!


I've got a 1:18th scale model which is the early Part II car - I'd like to get a Part III car, plus a PROPER Part I car (without the Mr Fusion) but I've yet to see one so far :(

All three models, although not your regular £30 ones.

noddys little red and yellow car

[psbarham]

Thats just what i was going for...... Ive always wanted on because of that film, and i will have one.... one day. I mean, who doesnt want a spoiler on the front of the car?

see a man of taste, I want one with all the options that one has, things like the front spoiler and the 2 fit bits in overly tight jumpsuits :o /JawDroppi :rolleyes4 :uhoh: :oops:

have you ever been in one? i went in a white 5000sQv, you think your old clutch was heavy? it's not even in the running, it was like pushing a railway sleeper through a brick wall.

Still cool though :beatnik2:
