    Is your 90 still cool if you bought it brand new? I should be typing this wearing my shades coz I must be really cool seeing as I have have the number 1 car on this list and have had a Beemer in the past, it was an E34, 5 series but same vintage as the Beemer listed and I have had a Mini Moke.

    Interesting that five out of the ten pictures used show left hand drive cars - hardly a tribute to the journalist's ability to find relevant pictures! And two of them you can't tell which side the wheel is!

    The Defender aside, there are only two (260z & 928s) I would bother crossing the road to look at.......

    The others are ozzzing something but it's not cool

    Yes I can see quite a few there that would be nightmares.

    Mini Moke / Karmann Ghia Rust buckets.

    928 S eye watering parts prices eg ignition switch $800 and habit of filling Auto with water. My son's best friend owns one and very old fashioned to drive. He also owns a Cooper S Mk2 which IS cool and can be forgiven for being RS to drive.
    I had a 924 Turbo at one stage which had quite a few shared parts with 928S. Luckily the ignition switch was VW and cost $70 , after Bob Whym initially quoted me $800 and I fell on the floor.

    260Z? 240 Z is the one to have except the trim has all fallen apart.

    I reckon super cool are 57 Thunderbird with slanty fins, and Studebaker Avanti as featured in latest Classic Car. Porsche 356 Super and Speedster if remotely possible.

    Oh and maybe Purple E36 M3 going by the teenage girl who hung out a car window and said "cool car" . At least I think that is what she said.

    Regards Philip A

    Hmmmmm,, I'll have #1, 6, 8 and thanks

    Mine might not be a 90, but my 110 CC is still wayyyy cool
    I've had the Beetle, that was way cool too. I'd definitely have another

    And Phillip, I don't care if the Karmann is a rust bucket,,, I still love them.

    Stumbled across a VW show down in Berry (2 hours south of Sydney). last photo - zoom in on the sticker on the rear window. These rusty looking things have V6 motors, etc in them - look like rubbish and go like the clappers. Split screens kombis are super expensive - guys at the show said one went in the usa for $200K recently.
    ps I'll go the mini moke -takes me a long way back to my teens
    Muzzy -you're cooler than James Bond

    A Chinese firm has the rights to these and they are expected to go on sale in Australia again shortly. You can buy a new one, if you have enough money.
