[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!

[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

[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"!!!!!


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??

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.

[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]

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 ...

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...
