simon_s Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd love to have a go in a full blown 4-wheel steer air-shocked super duper rock crawler type thing. And an RS200 as well please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill van snorkle Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have wanted a Scammel Explorer for over 30 years, but I suspect they would be a bit disappointing due to lack of difflocks and a good spread of gear ratios. I've only seen Stalwarts on video and they all seem to be afraid of steep hills, possibly due to inadequate gearing. 8x8 Tatras appear impressive, but I feel the lack of suspension articulation sees them making mountains out of molehills relatively speaking, and an 8x8 with straight axles and walking beam type suspension should be more capable. Maybe an 8x8 MAN.or one of the double articulated 8x8's built by the Clark Equipment Company or Oshkosh in the US capable of scaling a 10ft high wall ''would do it or me''. On a smaller, more manageable scale I'd like to be let loose for a couple of days with a 1961 Metrac 6x6. Check Video Shack.Those with Flash Player that can watch the video will understand. Bill.

neil00001 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have always wanted to drive a Porsche 935, a Dakar 959 but I think the ultimate for me would be a 250 GTO LM or a Bently Speed 6 Porsche 935 250 GTO LM Bently Speed 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlykepower Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well, I have owned sports cars all my life, but always wanted a Defender.....and now do. So unlike most of you, I would not want a "better" or "ultimate" other 4x4.....but I would love to have a couple of million lying around to own perhaps the prettiest sports car ever made - an Auto Union Type C. Hmmm......ok, maybe a 101 for expedition use too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Imagine that in estate form at the traffic lights next to a chav in a Saxo see where I'm coming from? And the 406 I want is a little like this one I was in a workshop in Salisbury and on there ramps was a totally standard looking E reg red Volvo 240 with a little bit wider steel wheels and tyres on it but completely standard looking. When I asked about it it had a 4.6V8 from a p38 and he was very sketchy but I gather it had turbo's of theirs in it. Apparently the brakes needed a little attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrode Finger Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Imagine that in estate form at the traffic lights next to a chav in a Saxo see where I'm coming from? Have you been bugging me fridge, i have been on the hunt for a 740 'full fat turbo' on and off for the last 7 months, too do just such a project. Must buy a bigger garage, longer drive, and win the lottery first though. B) Other than that, possibly a proper 911 Turbo from the 80's, always fancied a RWD Sapphire Cossy, and a Cobra. After that it gets random with desires to take perfectly good classics and rip them apart and put silly engines in them. A Reliant Kitten with a bike engine currently appeals for being daft.

Boothy Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'd love to drive something I've finished paying for, thats not life expired. Bet I've driven the biggest on land though with 2,500 ton freight train or a least the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 That's got to win, Boothy, the longest I've driven, sort of, is doing a show where I towed 30 assorted Land Rovers in a line with my S3 2 1/4 petrol 109 safari around the show ground. I must scan in some photos some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthdicky Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'd like most of the vehicles mentioned above, or just to have a drive in them. Not sure about maintaining them though, as I struggle with just a 90! Would love to play in a tracked tank, Stalwart, Explorer, anything 8x8, amphibious or just generally enourmous, as well as some sort of rock crawler, rally car and anything else stupidly fast. Best things I've driven off road are Steves P38 round Bures and a JCB - great fun when you get it airbourne flat out over jumps!

q-rover Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I would love to have a Bently for a few weeks (whilst I can afford the petrol) I would love to own a 110 4.6 V8 with autobox and all the usual toys and exped kit. Used as a daily runabout. But on a more serious note I would just like to be able to buy some offroading kit, bits for my P38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Land Rover-wise; 3-door RRC manual. Bog standard and immaculate. 107 / 109 S1 109 S2a or S3 with 3.5 carb-fed V8 but NOT the Stage 1 front 101 Other makes: VT2 hovercraft. They only made 2 for trial / evaluation purposes. I met the design crew once. SRN4 hovercraft MKII. I've met the design crew of these fabulous beasts as well. 1968-70 Dodge Charger with either the 383 or 440 or even 426 hemi. 1970 Mustang with the 428 cobra-jet engine. The above are the absolute MUST own (or, in the case of the hovercrafts, fantasy-ride as they don't exist anymore). There are many others, but these are the ones I always think of first.
