Weird car crush,

Post by PaulJ »

I seem to remember a weird crush thread on the old forum, and maybe there was a weird car crush one too, but if not here goes... I have to let the secret out to someone and you lot will do as none of you know me to laugh at me in my face as it were.

For some time now I've had a sneaky liking for the latest C class Coupe. :oops: Based purely on it's looks it has the opposition thrashed IMO, though I've never driven one or even been to see one in a Mercedes dealers - after all I'm only 64 and my motoring history has been almost exclusively 2 seaters of restricted growth.

Has anyone else had similar fantasy motoring wander lust?

They definitely look better than the afterthought W204 coupe. I keep seeing AMG versions and I'm sure the arches are bigger each time.

Lexus NX300 is my weird crush. They look funky and modern despite being a few years old already.

As mentioned in another thread - a cheap stretched limo (Vauxhall Omega or something) to do a mountain biking road trip or two in.

I've never been particularly quiet about my love for old Volvos, especially the 240 estate. Also Malaise Era American cars.

Apparently really like big square boxy cars :lol:.

Nearly all of my car crushes are weird. This is one of my ultimate fantasies:

Not a bad call Rev. A model T hot rod had always been another un-ticked box for me.

Wrong, as ever, because you. But it's OK, our hopes were subterranean anyway :lol:

The best CX dashboards had the revolving drums for dials:
