Dream cars of your youth....

[Count Steer]

Not sure I had a dream car as a teenager, apart from the Escort Mexico I mentioned, I just wanted 'some wheels'.

Later I rather desired a Citroën DS but having a Citroën CX gave me some inkling of what it would be like actually owning one.

Not really a 'car person', they're just a really, really useful hole in the pocket.

Escort Cosworth when I was younger, then it was anything jap related especially big power. Supra, Skyline etc.

I went down that route in the end up, owned quite a few jap cars one being big power.

I never did own a Cosworth though and never will, far too expensive now. Even if I could afford one I wouldn’t buy one, I’d rather have something newer and more powerful, something that could be used almost as a daily.

As cheb has mentioned, it has to be the Lancia Stratos. I saw a couple at a late 1970s RAC Rally and everything else just looked and sounded so tame, so dull, so boring. Here's one I snapped at Goodwood festival of Speed about 10 years ago. Still looks like it was beamed down from an alien galaxy.

I used to really like the Alfa Romeo gtv. (Referred to at times as an Alfa Romero by the people who also say Pacific rather than specific). I loved the shape. I consider myself lucky to not have owned one as other than the shape they are not that good.

Oh yes the transam was another one,along with the AC cobra and corvette and also the Renault alpine a110. None of the above really good cars but I liked them as I had not driven them and it was the lines and the look.
