seen at Honda, their slogan is HONDA, THE POWER OF DREAMS,don’t know about anyone else and no doubt some drivers own a Honda but I certainly wouldn’t dream of a Honda,i can think of better cars if I was able to dream of them, for example rolls Royce,bentley,maserati, range rovers,no lamborghinis or Ferraris though,don’t do anything for me,what cars do it for you
Anything a bit different really. Not boy racer type tuned stuff but something where someone has clearly done some professional engineering work to improve a car. Guy Martin’s Volvo amazon is a good example.
Any 1980’s group B rally car will get my attention.
For modern day production cars I’m a big fan of the Aston Martin DBS.
Theres a guy close to my UK house in Norwich who has a Honda Civic with ‘The power of dreams’ in big letters down both sides, white alloy wheels, a big wing on the roof, big twin tailpipe exhaust and… Union Jack roof and door mirrors!
The thing is this guy looks to be in his seventies…

good god, sounds a horrible car.
Old American cars and Hot Rods are my thing although I appreciate many nice classics especially when they’re just randomly spotted while out on the road.

I love the Mk2 ford Granada 2.8i ghia x,[owned 4 in the past 3 black,1 gold one, of the black with grey leather]but I forgot the aston martin for a modern one,very nice
Not a speed merchant, I prefer…
‘You can go fast, we go everywhere’ vehicles…
(As we both own ‘proper’ 4x4’s.)

If money was no object, I’d have a fully loaded v8 Range Rover sport for an every dayer and a mk1 ■■■■■■ Mexico in the garage as a toy

Its immaculate and no doubt the guy keeps it well maintained but it really does look hideous…
If i had an excess of Money,a Bentley Continental and an Austin Healey 3000.Otherwise what i have now,a Mitsubishi L200 pick up,perfect for where i live.
I’d like a BMW z4 or one of the larger engined slk’s
Three Honda cars in the household, two Civics 57 and 58 plates,and a 61 plate Jazz, all utterly reliable. We have had everything else and never been happy with paying out for them to be repaired. Apart from servicing, the Hondas have not cost us a penny.

Thats the thing with Hondas, superb build quality and ultra reliable. We sell cars in the UK(well the missus does) and had an older Civic with 170k+ miles on it, it did have full Honda service history but literally ran like a new car, the engine was smooth as a sewing machine…

I had to “look after” this for six months for a mate of mine who was working abroad. It made me recalibrate my brain as to what a car can do. Awesome machine but bloody expensive to hoon around in! I would post the video but as the speedo is visible I’d end up going to jail.
Edit to add; no, I didn’t crash it. Can someone put it the correct way up please?

And this shows how little you know about cars.

I had a rare manual option one and with hindsight I think that’s what I would have stayed with instead of getting involved with Jags.But the wimp 2.8 V6 motor has to go in favour of the 302 or 351 V8 that it should have been built with from the start and some decent brakes which they forgot all bout on the original.
While rhd,rack and pinion steering and independent suspension is better than an old American.

On that note I think the red thing at 7.04 in the second vid looks like a ricer.
