I currently own two AMC Javelins and a Plymouth Fury so I'm pretty much brand agnostic.
I tend to swing from one make and model to another every week or so. Lately I've had a fascination with Studebaker Hawks (my first car was a Stude Lark) .. .. I've also had a somewhat unhealthy fixation with early 6.3L Mercs .. And weirdly early "Hakosuka" Nissan GTRs? |

I did think the 1980's Starion was a fine looking car. despite not liking modern Toyotas, a mustang Celica, or the second to last GT4 are both awesome lookers. and I like all the 1970's and earlier VWs, all of them, bugs, kombis, karmanns.....

Have a soft spot for the HQ Monaro LS, really nice shape with no body striping and paint-outs, and just two doors. Some of those early colours have managed to age gracefully too and suit that shape perfectly.

Mitsi 380 for me, ridiculously cheap cars for the build quality....just got one for 1400 bucks with minor damage.
1979 UC Torana hatchback, best looking Holden ever made. Rear wheel drive Volvo 940's same engine as the 240's but with airbags...lol |

I'll confess a few things, I'm old enough now to take any flak!
1) I owned a Morris Marina ..... once. 2) I owned a Fiat 128 ..... once. 3) I owned a Sunbird Hatchback automatic with the Opel engine. That car was dangerously underpowered. 4) I was a Holden fan in my early motoring life but began to turn with an EA Falcon S MPI. Very unreliable. 5) I saw the light in 1992 with my first V8; a 1992 EB II S-XR8 automatic. That was a damn fine car. 6) I've stuck with V8's ever since except for the Territory. 7) I do like the Chrysler 300 SRT8; I was very impressed with it when I test drove one. Ah, I feel so much better now!

That's funny.....
My dad had an EA S-pac wagon when I first got my licence, loved driving it after stepping out of my 200B SX. My father-in-law had a cherry black VS Senator (should have bought it off him when he sold it....bummer) and I had an R31 Silhouette for 11 years. Loved it. Myself, I secretly love the old Prince GTR's (although I have thought of getting a Datto 240K coupe to mock up.) Volvo 850R. Datto 1600 (with SR20DET conversion) I'd also love an E39 M5, they're quite affordable now too...

Volvo 240s and 360s. Would absolutely love to get a 360, good luck finding one now that hasnt been to the moon and back. 5door hatch, 5 speed manual, rwd and from what I read the turbo 4 pots from the 740 is a pretty straight swap. Would be wicked fun.

Im a bit of a fan of some of the offerings from Hyundai and Kia these days. They dont have a performance option to match my FG turbo, but they offer some nice cars for the family, good warranty, and pretty reliable these days

Nothing similar at all It's a bit like the house of an old family member that has passed, you just can't go back there anymore only look at photos and memories And because they were in part a great car so I've been told, even with the downfalls they apparently had

I've owned plenty of V8's & 6's and had been driving for over 10 years when I got my first speeding fine in my wife's then brand new Suzuki Balleno
That car was a really well balanced little package and you could really throw the bugger round I generally hate FWD cars but this thing was buckets of fun

An immaculate VS 5 litre ute. Even though I spank them now when restricted from driving 8's I am really partial to the appearance, simplicity anf sound of them.

The NASA 'Opportunity' rover. Anything that can enter an atmosphere then move on wheels is pure awesome. Should make a good restorer by 2050-2070. Only thing will be freight cost back to Earth!

Modern TVR's really appeal to me for some reason, espicially the Sagaris.
I also love 90's GM pony cars, espicially LS1 powered Pontiacs |

Apart from being an MG enthusiast (I currently own a 1972 MGB, and have fully restored a 1951 MG TD from the ground up to win outright state and national concourses), I have a very soft spot for the Valiant R and S Series. I owned a Valiant S Series in the mid '70's but not knowing proper body and engine restoration techniques back then with the rust etc, I sold it after a couple of years.
