First loves

[sandwich]

What was the first car you ever fell in love with?

Mine was the celica st185, in castrol colors. I saw it in the back of a R/C car magazine and loved it ever since.

Second in line would probably be the audi UR Q. I was thinking back and my dad went to germany or something on business and brought back two 1/24? scale cars (matchbox etc.). I never really realized it, but he got me a Renault Maxi and my brother an Audi URQ in Redblackyellowwhite colors. I always wanted that car.

Mine was the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Ever since i was a kid i loved Astons, and its never changed :) I used to stick south park figures in the drivers seat in a diecast model, and race it with a Ferrari F40 (which always fell off the cliff :D )
It still remains my favourite Aston Martin.
Shes just beautiful :D

Not sure how best to describe it, the Escort was first-love, the Stratos was lust and the A110 is infatuation.

Married to the Matra with an Alpine mistress and an Espace 'domestic' :)

When I was in the third grade I was walking up a stairwell at school which had a bay window in it. As I turned to go up the next flight of stairs I looked out the window to see a brown 1969 Corvette drive by, that moment sparked a love that has been undying since.

Yes, it's Roger Clark's car from his 1972 RAC Rally win with Tony Mason as nav. It did the Safari in '71 and Clark used it in the British series in 72 and 73 befrore the Mk2.

Yep, it's owned by Tony Yendall and is often seen at post-historic rallies and historic motorsport events. QUite likely it could have turned up at Weeton.

A beautifully restored car that STILL gets to be driven in (semi)anger :)

[GT500]

Cars were crs to me until I was about 6 and discovered Ferrari. I loved them. Period. I would think the first to be the Testarossa, probably second the F40.

[Spastik_Roach]

Ford Falcon XR8. Its pretty much the only car you will ever fall in love first with if you live in New Zealand... Or a Holden Commodore, for the slighty stupider Australasians...


After that it would be the Subaru WRX, and the Porsche 911...

[Ferrari Tifosi]

The first car that I absolutely fell in love with was the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.

[r1ckst4]

There she was... on my TV screen... i had the control over her... she was the most beautiful thing i ever saw... red was her colour... Gran Turismo 3 is her home... so is my heart... my first love... Mustang Cobra SVT... :o

[aNOBLEman]

The first car I really fell in love would be any Corvette, Saleen S7, and obviously the Noble M12 GTO. I also like pretty much any kind of Lotus.

[Fleet 500]

First loves?

- Pre-'77 Cadillacs
- '55-'62 Chrysler 300 (especially the '57 300-C)
- '60s to early '70s Mopar muscle cars

[taz_rocks_miami]

I would have to say 60's muscles cars: Chevy, Ford, Mopar (nerver cared for AMC though). My first car was a 69 Camaro in which I put a 427 in...ah sweet memories.

Taz.

[scubasteve87]

For me, it would be the Lamborghini Countach. When I first got into cars, it was the epitomy of everything I thought was cool in a car, then I discovered the diablo, and I've been a Lambo fan ever since. :o

'60s muscle cars... good choice!

IIRC, a 427 Camaro was a solid 12-second car (assuming it had decent tires with a good bite).

The first car I fell in love with was the beautiful Aston Martin DB5. And the second was a bit of an odd car, the Citroën XM. I remember very well when I was still quite young I was really overwhelmed by the size of the dashboard of my Dad's XM 3.0 V6. The car sucked (all sorts of electronics problems) but it's sooo cool. I would really like to own one.

[UK CARS]

First car i ever fell in love with was the Original Mini, My dad had to drag me out of it, as a screaming kid i never wanted to get out of it. I slept in it once for a night in my garden!

[Rockefella]

Second in line would probably be the audi UR Q. I was thinking back and my dad went to germany or something on business and brought back two 1/24? scale cars (matchbox etc.). I never really realized it, but he got me a Renault Maxi and my brother an Audi URQ in Redblackyellowwhite colors. I always wanted that car.

Heh, I'm pretty sure I was driven in an Audi URQ a couple years ago. My dad's friend Bruno used to race one or something similar in SCCA pro-rally a few years ago. (I think it was the URQ but it's been 3 or 4 years and my knowledge of cars wasn't too great back then)

[Mustang]

i have liked lots of cars, and i mean lots, but the first one that i reaeally couldnt stop thinking about wa a Citroen Saxo raly car that raced past me when i was on my bike once going home from a friends house :)

[CdocZ]

im kinda young (still cant drive) so, one day my dad took my to the washington dc auto show, saw a bunch of corvettes, a few other sports cars....then the Lamborghini Murcielago.......its not my favorite car ever.....but by god its beautiful

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Hmmmm..... that's a tricky one because I can't remember being a little kid..... ah well, let's have....errrrr..... Audi RS6. Predictable, but goddamned good choice!
