To Antipop : Well, ladies from the 20's-30's....nice models....Can't talk about cars....Those ladies need to be loved and preserved....
Can't talk about all those replica's from Type 35 going around the world...
I'd be happy with a Lancia Stratos : Road Version (Hawk Cars in the UK provide replacement parts for this model, and also sell a complete replica....:)
Dino V6 Ferrari engine (2,4 liters, motor installed in rear-center...)
To Master_G : Aston Martin V8 Vantage is definitly a nice car.
(As Antipop said, "It's a bit like an Aston Martin, it's a sports car but it's all with that english touch which allows James bond to drive at 165 and stay fresh")
Well, how about new kind of spies....Don't now how they would be recruted...or for what purpose....You can achieve pretty much 80% of the mission on the Internet (Hacking and spying ops...)
The Cold War is over......so are those who ruled it from the first step to the last breath.....
'd be interested in a stage with some british S.A.S. Best of the best (as is every men who's part of an elite unit)
How about a modern Q??
What would he (she??) decently imagine for this hero who never dies.
Was hopping for a multi-purpose vehicle : sea/air/road or all-terrain....
With the help of a new kind of energy (Cold Fusion...)
Any ideas?? :p:

I'm also from 1983....and yop....this movie is great, the three of them, say the first,and the third, then the second.
So, have you any idea about the scenario of the next opus?.....(if they'd be one.... :p:
What car could they choose to do a remake....no....better : a renewed version of all three movies, with an actual story.....??
We would need a dreamcar...... :)
I saw the dino and i really like it, it has some nice curves and it really stands out.Quote:

I also like the zonda, it's the kind of car that make everyone turns its head and say : "wtf is that" :D
:p:
Yop, i respect that....The way you are talking is the way of love.... :p:
And you definitly love those babies.....so i show some respect and approve that automobile is a passion....Hell yeah... :slobber:
I would also fall down to my knees if i could buy/test-drive an Honda NSX....because we have a lot of country or mountains roads up in France....and i love double-shifting, active braking placement methods, or rear power-slides...without handbrake of course...:)
And i'd be happy with a Sub Impreza on a snow track, just to enjoy the efficiency of a 4WD car on a snowy-icy road......
I think i'll never get the stratos....'d have to take her to the French "service des Mines" to have her homologated.....so say about 30000 €....i hope with the 2.4 V6 Dino engine....(also, he was installed at the time on a Fiat Spyder.....i can't remenber which one...or in the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, can be seen in the TV serie the Adventurers, i think with R. moore and ??)
From now on, i got the bike permis a year ago and i'll start with it (say a full-going 750-800 cm3, just list the Honda VFR.....)
So, i'll wait until i'm older (and 'd have a little more money.....) to get or restore my dream car....Hope to put my kids to it and in it....
But have to pay for the house, for the kids in 4-5 years....
Guess i won't have it until the age of 40.....(18 years to wait....damned... :slapass:
But it's good to talk....makes it easier to wait...and 'll be better prepared....
Automobile is born with tips and tricks......
I think you're talking about my post and yes it's some kind of love but not only for cars but to all beautiful things. Some people find it stupid but i put a lot of importance on the design. Dassault said that about design : a good looking plane is a plane that flies good (sorry for the translation)Quote:

Sadly the real Dr. brown is allready dead :(
:(
Poor doctor....Emnett (?) L. Brown (won't tell the entire story about his family name..... :p:
He was a great artist....first kiss on stage in the BTTF3
(Mary Steenburgen...
He He.....kind of "O deari, I burned the muffins" lady...outside...a, panther inside....i love this girl... ;)
Back to the Doc...Nice man...especially when he stoled plutonium to Lybians (he told them that he would design a nuclear bomb..... :)
Think they are famous now.....a whole generation is looking at them....
The Doc, Marty (alias Clint Eastwood confronted to "Mad dog" Tanen,but don't tell him....he doesn't like to be called like this....) and Jenifer...(damned she's great....simple, sweet and comprehensive.....i want to marry her!!!!!!!!)
And the DeLorean......flying, Hot Roding, and so on......i'll definilty make a hover conversion....
In fact, back in time, we are in 2005, (if my calculations are righ,but are you sure Marty??)...we are not so far from the BTTF "futur".....almost a prediction.....
I agree with you that we would need the deLorean but i'm still looking for replacement......actual cars have no soul.....(except an electronic one.....)
Think a 'Cuda would be great, yellow and black....custom style....
Remenber InterState'76 (PC Game...) or Mad Max.....

Wouldn't that be grait ;) A mix of BTTF and transformers :D
Transformers.....Those were great....but i'm also keen on "Mask".....
Both of the series would fit.......
Have you seen the publicity for the New Citröen C4?? (The car transforms itself into a transformer and dances....then back to its previous state....just say that i was amazed.... ;)
Same idea, go to www.bmwfilms.com and check the season one movies (stunt with Madonna and a BMW M5 sliding and drifting through a city traffic...)
The other movies are also great....that's the way i want a car to be presented...
For instance, i cant stand for Chevrolet publicity (they are taking us for fools or dumbies i think.....) Who the hell are making those publicities (i don't want them to impose me a way to see the market....they have to study five years to sort out a real poor job.....:banana::banana::banana::banana:ing fashion world..... :mad: )
We just need now a good scenario.......that's the funny part...
Knowing that the Doc has two children now, and that he is living happily in the old West.....
Marty is older and Jennifer is pregnant.....Marty works in I.T. and jennifer is a school teacher.....
Seems familiar but i have to tell this in english, so i go back to the basics...
:)
What would be the relation between the DeLorean and the Doc...?? (she has been destroyed and the The Doc already have a train Time Machine....)
I would see her in black, and rebuilt with the originals plans to prevent the end of the world (time paradox...discovered by marty.......) Marty needs to go back to the Doc to ask him for help.....
They go on different planets or paralell worlds (Sliders : paralell worlds) and a little of Jurassic Park..........
Then a touch of comedy.....(martian introduction, star wars references, science fiction tips and tricks....)
Then seing them of different planets (different "them"....)
Of course, i'm talking about regular Existence.....(keep the Man/Woman familiy references.....no bad jokes...... ;) (like "The One"...with Jet Li...)
well, i'm a little off right now....
Lamborghini Concept S. Hopefully on sale next year.

Lamborghini has made a very nice comeback with the last two models.Quote:

To NoX and antipop :
Aouch.....awesome car....
Seems to be based on the Gallardo... :(
What do you think about Laraki models ??
http://www.laraki-automobiles.com/fr/index.htm
Mercedes (AMG versions engines....)
Nice bodywork....
Interior is great.....
Your point?? ;)
newbie: those bodies look a bit toooo futuristic, along with the lambo, but i must say, they are nice cars. just tooo futury lookin for me, if somone gave me one tho to test drive, I sure as hell wouldn't say no lol.
've seen testdrive of new Bugatti Veyron....
http://www.bugatti-cars.de/bugatti/
Car was driven by an engineer (supposedly...), not to good at driving but O-K... :p:
Impressive, two keys : one for usual ignition
second for Race-track chassis law and more than 400 km/h ability.... :slap:
407 km/h verified....
up to 100 liters / 100 kms at 400 km/h (constant speed...)
Weird noise (W16 Quad-turbo engine + Noise reduction procedure...1001 ch yet :slobber:
It's must be like driving a Lamborghini, 4WD i suppose with twice the amount of hp's....and a different speed at every corner,......
Let's make a little comparison :
Formula One car is given to be 800 hp's ??
Nm's = ??
Weight : around 500 kgs
350 km/h maxed out (but this thing is like a pot of rubber in a corner...just sticks to the road....)
0 to 60 miles per Hour in 2 seconds with launch control :p:
Veyron is 1001 hp's at 6000 rpm's
1250 Nm as soon as 2000 rpm's
Weight ?? (around 1300-1500 kg's maybe :)
407 km/h verified
0 to 300 km/h in no more than 14 seconds
0 to 60 miles in 2.5 seconds
The car seems designed to float on the air......aerodynamic at its best.....just like they say...smooth as a drop of water.....wide enough to stay on the ground....
Next Batman car?? (think car from Batman begins is a middle choice....could ahve chosen a better car....)
Anyway, if Batman needs a car, it would have to be difficult to detect (No sound, no thermal signature, and so on......not this big old rig, with a fuse up its ass.....advantage is you can go through walls (first and last one...)
Anyway, has anyone the specs of a Champ Car, to make a comparison???
You must know the name of Sebastien Bourdais......french guy....awesome driver..... :D
Actually the Veyron is more like 2000Kg they were struggling to keep the weight below that.
Lets take the toyota RVX-05 (the engine for the toyota F1 car) that actually has 940bhp from a 3litre V10, no turbo's...
So to be quite frank comparing a supercar to a F1 car is a bit pointless. :slap:
Yeah the 800bhp info is a couple of years old, the most powerful engine in F1 atm is reckoned to be the Honda in the BAR @ around 970bhp, with the final evolutions (maybe at the end of this season) pushing the 1000bhp mark. They max out at more like 370kph as well.
G
:p:
To master G : Of course, i'm amazed that F1 engines have reach that amount of power... :p: Bloody engines, free-aspiration.....
To Anarki : 've kind'of left the F1 world, because it was boring.....Now it's better, and we have a little competition.......but i don't deny that M. Schumacher and Jean Todt were amazing...... :p:
Anyway....i would like to see the bugatti Veyron at Le Mans (the 24 hours)....
Of course, the existence of that car is definitly questionnable, but as she exist...why the Hell not??
I think that a weight around 2 tons is way too much....and the fuel consumption would constitute a real Handicap at Le Mans......but it's the best way to restore the sport "aura" or "legend" of Bugatti....(since the type 35 or the EB 110 S.....)
Would you consider that possibility?? or is it not realistic ??
Im sure it could be possible, all they would have to do is strip out all the creature comforts:
Electric windows
Cd-Player
Passenger seat :p:
etc,
That should in theory bring the weight down a couple hundred Kg's.
Take the Ferrari 550 for example. The road car weighs around 3900lbs and the Le mans version weighs around 2400lbs and is about 120bhp more powerful.
To anarki : fuel consumption of a formula 1 is given to be 50 liters per 100 kms.
i don't know for sure, but given the performance, it's near to nothing compared to the Veyron fuel consumption (granted...at 400 km/h maintained :p: )
Anyway (Speed record before braking at Mulsanne's corner is and will stay 432 km/h.......the old Le Mans Circuit of course....)
The Veyron would reach 450 km/h with 1200 hp's and 400 kgs less.....(so about 1400 kgs...maybe 1200-1150...without the four-Wheel drive system)
On the rain, she would have and keep the advantage...if she keeps her 4WD system....contradiction, in deed....
Tyre consumption, don't know.....but surely not the least.....
Have to read the "How To" build a Le Mans prototype...
Surely the HorsePower will be lowered....at 800 hp's maybe....but i don't know about the weight limit.....sure she will have a great Handicap :(
http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans...ements_gb.html
Why the Hell wouldn't they run race cars with ethanol.....this would be both ecologic and fun ('ve to care about future generations.....none the less... :slap: )
Wouldn't they change regulations?? :)
a Veyron with a Diesel prototype (an Hybrid....??) (V10 TDI/500 hp's at 4700 rpm's and 900 Nm.....say 220 kgs for the entire engine....at least..and maybe 40 liters per 100 kilometers of fuel consumption....some material to earn a couple of Pit Stops...)
If the idea is to create a dreamcar....there are no limits....just the entire imagination...
Doable??
