Time Travel

[Hillbilly F Truck]

If you could travel through time and go back a few years, what cars would you buy of the showroom floor new? Me... 66 and 74 f100 ,XC coupe. XW GT. It seems silly i know but i often wish it were possible. Think of all the spares you could get in advance.

[Ives]

Ferrari F40.

[V3RSAC3]

I'd Stock up on Phase III GT's ... and then re-sell all but one of them today .. and then buy myself my car collection that i want WOOT

this is a gd thread, be interesting to see peoples views

[R0BD0G]

VG Valiant Pacer. XY GTHO Obviously. T3 TE50. VL Walkinshaw. HK GTS Monaro... think im done dreaming

[GK]

I'd only play this game if I could go back and get any car with the money I have now, as opposed to the cheap price back then!

With that in mind, I'd buy a stack of XY GTs.

We all gotta get THE DeLorean first before we can go back in time.

[S3SR]

id go back and buy every single share i can of intel and microsoft and bhp... thats all i wont be greedy .... you can have your cars, because ill buy them off you when you go bust trying to buy fuel for $16 p/l off me :P

otherwise just give me an AMG SL65 Black and a 2008 seadoo GTX limited and ill be happy

[trick_xd]

I would go back in time

1 . I would tell myself NOT to get with my EX ..
2 . I would Keep my XD
3 . I would get a XW/XY gt in RED as my other EX Hates red cars ( that's why I have one now)
4 . Stock pile a heap of parts

[Bushbasher]

Hmmmmmm, the possabilities, ok, here goes;

assuming unlimited funds-

HK GTS 327
HQ GTS 350 2dr & 4dr
XYHO III of coarse (one of the first 20 that got the "QC" motors, ie. quality control hand built units)
XA RPO83 2dr &4 dr
The one and only XAHO IV. (I'd sit outside the car yard that sold it used if I had to).
A9X 2dr (one of the race shell ones like the one Streetmachine gave away years ago)
AUIII TL50

If it was a limited budget then it'd have to be the XYHO III & XAHO IV of coarse cos I could sell one now and buy all the rest and still have change, ................ but which one to keep? hmmmmmmm.....

Some good choices there!

My own list:

• Escort Twincam
• Mk I RS2000 Escort
• of course a Phase III or 3
• Mk II RS1800 Escort
• '75 Mk II Escort Ghia
• XY wagon - with a nice 351 under the hood of course :evil3:

There are lots more, but I don't want to look greedy, haha

Good call! I'd do the same, although I don't regret having my son, i regret who his mother is.

[Hillbilly F Truck]

Ditto. There is always the ex factor.

Nice to see the wully, (valiant) in there.

[flappist]

You guys do realise that it you all went back in time and bought heaps of Phase 3s they would be worth nothing now.

Do you really think if there was suddenly a thousand showroom condition GTHOs they would sell for one billion dollars? Yeh right!

Besides even if you did get a pile of Phase 3s they would be very ordinary against all the phase 4s, phase 5s, phase 6s, XU2s, GTR-Xs, E58s etc built after Evan Green's "little accident" the day before he wrote his heresy.

Mate it's not the value of the cars, it's about having the cars.

So I've always liked the F40, and the Porsche 959.
Pity I can't afford either.

That aside, would love an XB Goss with the green, or an XB GT with a nice colour combination. Which one, I am not sure.

There would still only be 300, because that's all they made.

Me, I'd buy myself a bunch of R Code Galaxies!

I have a strange taste in cars , and would love to buy stuff which is hard to get today for any price, they're are plenty of cars not here but i cant get them today Acutally if you sent me back to like 1976 i could probably pick all these cars up for sod all. In addition to these cars would bring back a shipping container full of 44 gallon drums of high quality leaded petrol- bloody 98 octane today is garbage compared to old fuel.

Couple big old Packard's, late 20's and late 40s jobs.
Late 40's Mercury Coupes
Jenson Interceptor
1955 Ford Customline v8
1953 Studebaker Commander
Plymouth Barracuda
72 Ford LTD (American)
P5 Rover V8 Coupe
Mazda Cosmo with Rotary
Prince Skyline (when did you last see one of them)
AMC Rambler Ambassador
Lotus Elan
A 1940s Buick
Austin 1800

A Phase 3 GTHO Falcon so I can be a king amonst Ford fans.

A 1972 Hillman Hunter Manual, so I can work out what the previous owner has done to the bloody wiring loom in mine.

And most of all a bloody XA Hardtop coupe cause they are bloody impossible to get for decent money.
