OK, I would go with that, Ruggedly Handsome is a good description. My Dad used to drive one in his Army days and I fell in love with 101's when I was about twelve.

As for the colour and wheels, I must disagree most strongly, I think it is gorgeous and the guy who modded it is a genius. :smt038 :smt038 :smt038

That Alfa is very nice, E-Type Jag, but only if in coupe form. I dont like the lines of the convertable, Citreon DS is also beautiful looking.

But for me it has to be the 911, all curves and even more good to look at in the flesh, the 993 variant always to me seems to the best to look at

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/fizzwheel/993c2midnightside_jpg.jpg

[Pedrosa]

There are many lovely looking one's out there but not being too much of a car fan do though have a soft spot for Maseratti Coupe,Aston Martin DB8/9 and the Jaguar XK.

I like the coupe style and tbh all the singing and dancing peformance numbers dont really interest me.It's how cool they look and sound.

[empty]

Yer all wrong.

Yep the alfa is good, but it is a modern copy of the original Tipo 33 Stradale.

You too huh?

I had a Corgi model of a Miura when i was a kid, and then my next door neighbour bought a 1965 E-Type 4.2 FHC in red and my loyalties changed once he'd taken me for a drive in it - loved E-Types ever since

someone who knows a lot about such things said that styling a super car is easy when you can do whatever you like and cost isn't an issue so as much as i love them i would say the best car in the world might be more due to its ability to be beautiful whilst being usable day to day.:confused:

like an original mini, or vw beetle. or vw golf mk1, you know the idea.

ps. if its current cars id have a lambo gallardo lp540 in alien green:smt088, would scare my mum. new aston dbs looks awesome in black too but astons are getting a bit too common round here with the spice boys so they are losing the james bond cool factor.
