OV9

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. 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 .

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.

It's good but it's no Caprice

I also really want a Two Lane Blacktop 55 Chevy replica:

If I was going Caprice, I'd be going down the Corvette Chaser route:

I also really like modded old Soviet Cars.

Have you watched the Movie yet Rev?

Also have you seen the latest build of Mike Finnigan's 55? 900hp .

Yes and yes. I loved the movie, MrsREV was less impressed

Mazda CX3 and CX5 now that it has been facelifted

Big old Citroens and Peugeots for me. DS, CX, 504 and 505. Can't explain it.

Big Citreons had the best interiors.

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

The best CX dashboards had the revolving drums for dials:
