On second thought I just cant bring myself to vote for it sorry.
I just cant pick one car,there are too many nice ones,any of the tuff X series do it for me,especially the early hardtops.
AAh holden, yeah right, any FORD here would beat that. : True story.

There have been other inspirations behind my car, the obvious being Jimt3te50. The stripes, I just had to have. I did need a push in the right direction too.

Theres a few other car's on the forums that I really admire for a number of different reasons.

Apart from Falkeens ute, the one I really like the most would have to be Micks AU XR8 ute.

There's plenty of other cars i really like, but for me, the standout would have to be either of those guys utes.

Anyway, just curious about your favourite forum cars.
All the AU's on here they look TOPS.

In no particular order.
EFFalcon: I don't know if he has any standard parts left on that car ;)
john_xr6: Best ED I've ever seen.
Minginator: Obvious reasons.
Sundeep: One of the best EAs I've ever seen
sphell: His old EA is also one of the best EAs
Bass_Crazy: His car was what got me into modifying cars.
Pyroay: With an unlimited budget, my dream car would be similar to this.

My (Mals :P) old AU was awesome, JETXR, Sundeeps EA, PYROAY, Pauls Group A is pretty cool, LTDHO is one of my favourites, Lukey's sprint is pretty nice too.

Always liked Danny's (Full Noise) cars. The ute and the GTP are just perfect, and always looked after. Better than showroom condition.


(Maybe thats why I bought one of them)............

Buckies Car looks great too, even better in the flesh, and the Minginator, well, thats just in a class of its own.

Without any doubt my favorite car's are all T3's Foxies, sbutlers and Shanyet Whay I chose these cars,,, Because the owners of these car's put the money were there mouth is. They drive there cars there in the manner they were designed for, they get out to the track and rallies and lay there nut's on the line.

And then there's Jimte50 and Gruntr.... I drool every time I see a picture of there T3's.. Jimte50 is a worked 5.6lt NA motor and Gruntr's is a worked 5.6 bored ouy to 6lt andsupercharged.....

Spot on Matt- I tried to come up with the best way to describe my reason, but that's it right there.

My favorite cars aren't in showrooms, they're not locked up- they are being driven like they were meant to be. That's why we buy these things isn't it?

I couldn't pick a car on looks alone that's why I haven't been able to pick just one. It's as much an owner's perception and ability to use their car as the car itself to me.

How about the Gray Myers Mustang! That would have to be one of the wickedest cars on this forum.
Tufed6's 460rwkw ED, any car that can do 160km/h and step out sideways with 285 on the back gets my vote.

All my favourites have been mentioned. But really its a toss up between Jimt3te50 and Bucknaked. Both amazing cars and both have inspired me to start modding my AU.
