Yes, I have one, but the car in the film is probably the coolest Apollo around. It looks tough in that particular livery and it has a certain stance.

So my favourite car goes to ford as much as i would like to deny it but for a good reason
a capri was my dad's first car

as a kid, -- FULL WORKS Mini Cooper 'S'
teenager -- FULL WORKS Escort RS1800
from then till now -- FULL WORKS Alpine A110 GrpIV

I'll always be a rally car lover

And the good thing is having driven replicas of ALL of these, I still wouldnt' change my opinions !!!!!

in auto termns, I still consider myself a "big kid" so I've never really left my childhood

Well you had some good taste as a teen I still dream of owning a GT40 nowdays (never will happen unless i reallymove up in the world) but other then that a serious want is a cobra R model Mustang from america here there diffrent faster then any falcon or commadore (well stock anyways) and will also be fun to blast around the track on the weekend....
But still that one might happen...i wont be too blown away if it doesnt...By mid next year ill reach my saveings goal and will own a performance car of my own (more then likly jap...pulling my fathers trick finding a car he enjoys to keep him untill i get a true weekend car ) and i will be over the moon at that aspect...im so willing to get out of the sunny im looking to get a 2nd job to get it sooner (if i can put away $300 a week rather then my $150 ill have my goal by very early next year) ahh what hard work can get you

My Favorite car of my childhood would have to be early model Dodge Viper. When I lived in the Detroit Metro area as a kid, there was a Dodge dealership down the road and it had a Viper on display in the show room. I would walk up there and just stare at it and admire it. The Viper was my first contact with an extremely fast car.

Now my favorite car is a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, an absolutely beautiful car, with a sweet 3.0L V12 Testa Rossa powerplant.
