Whilst drooling over the Jensen Interceptor I remembered the existence of a sort of 'poor man's' version, and see you can get one for less than £5000. I know nothing about them, and suspect they might be proper crap, but I always quite liked them.

I had one of these:
most fun I ever had in an estate car. Also the only car I ever had that rotted from the top down. The engine was beautiful, as was the interior for the time. It had been undersealed from new and had no rust at all underneath, but the doors and roof were terrible.

A Scimi's in the list of the next couple of cars I shall buy. I like'em, and the missus loves 'em. The moment we need an estate...

They are a lot of fun whether you need an estate or not. Get one, and have fun.

I saw a rather ratty looking SE6 Scimitar GTE on somebody's drive when I was out for a bike ride last year. I knocked on the door and tried to do a deal to buy it but they weren't having it. You need to serve your time on the Scimitar forums before you buy one as fucking loads goes wrong with them. Especially the Essex engined ones. A Jaguar AJ30 V6 and 5 speed transmission from a Mazda MX-5 are the ultimate powertrain upgrade.
Ford Mustang. Best looking car ever made?
This is going to sound like sacrilege, but I just don't see the appeal of the Mustang. It's a nice looking car for sure, but nothing that special. I'm not sold on American cars usually, but I wouldn't say no to a spin in a Dodge Charger.

The Mustang looks like the sort of thing Debbie Harry would drive. Your Dodge Charger looks more like the car for an obnoxious Texan who goes around saying 'I tell you what, boy, where I come from EVERYTHING'S BIGGER'.

I've got a Mk1 Golf atm; that's fun.
When I need bigger, estate-shaped fun it'll be the Scimi

Jay Leno's Galaxie 500 with a 600hp Steve Roush 427. Perfect in every detail.

Well Mr Dog - you do have an excellent taste in cars it must be said - would that be a similar 427 side oiler that ended up in a certain AC?

The original Galaxie did have the FE side oiler 427 competition motor; the same as the Cobra. The Roush 427 crate motors, as in Leno's car, use a small block, 9.5" 'tall deck' V8.

They have certainly get worse over time. The hatchbacks were a travesty

WRX GC era Imprezas are going to become collectible and valuable in the way Mk.1 Escorts have. There are almost none (especially 2 doors) left that haven't been modded and/or crashed - including mine.
There was also the infamous 'Casablanca' Impreza which I confidently predict will not become desirable. Apparently gripped by pre-millenial neurosis Subaru answered a question nobody asked by bringing out a special edition with weird retro kei car inspired front and rear styling.

The sickening moment when you realise you've just wrecked an original 1967 Lotus 49:
Jim Clark's original Lotus 49, no less.
Let's be honest, if you can afford to race one of these you know you're going to bang it every now and again, so you can afford to fix it as well
I'd rather see a classic race car being used and this happening to it than to have it rotting away, perfect in a museum
equus bass 770?
