Knew it was a 2nd series Pete, single drive (and lazy axle) 'Needle Nose" hence the 1 designation but 6 didn't sound right.

Dodge Charger RT 440, use it to drive to a show room with a 67-68 Shelby GT 500, steal it, and drive that for the rest of the day.

A Kebab van, I won't be driving it though.
Honestly, this beast:


Quad Webers on a 289 with those pipes, what a sound. About a ton, 400 HP and just under 200 MPH. Not bad for the mid 1960's.

Hi guy's
What a hard question that is?

I think a Ferrari 458 spend the day racing around the streets but not driving like an idiot were other innocent people may get killed.
Being the first on off the line when the traffic lights go green, blowing away P- Plater's who think there car's are fast.

Then swapping car's and taking DJRs Ford mustang to Bathurst and racing around Mt Panorama before driving home in the Mustang.
The next day i go to the Doctor and he say's " sorry i made a mistake your not going to die".

Amazing cars.

I like different too. Only live once!

Sure I drive a VW but it is very different from the boring pack the brand is.

Any of these, I'm not fussy.

Jaguar F-Type R / SVR.



Aston Martin DB9.



BMW M3 CSL.



All three have stellar engines, I'm all about the noise.

Koenigsegg make the best cars on the planet by a mile. They make other hypercars look slow.

Strap me in Elon!
Send me up in Starman II.
Enough oxygen for one day is all I ask.
10,000Km/hr, faster than any earthbound wheels I've rode.
Point me to the moon, and let me loose among the stars.

Oh, the breathtaking view as I gasp my last breath!
