Other Favorite Vehicles

[galen216]

I like vehicles that work.

If I could afford it I would have a Sherman tank, a Dukw and a 1/2 track.

I'd also like a Mack B model. Love the classic lines.

When I got my first Rover and was starting to get to know the folks in the Rover community I found that there were a few folks who specialized in Rovers AND another type of car. Ted Howard in Warren comes to mind as he had Rovers and Volvos and a guy in Lebanon Maine who had Rovers and Citroens.

As for other vehicles I would like, an e-type Jag, 6 or 12 cylinder as I am not picky, a big Healy and I have always had a soft spot for an MG TF as my Mom had one when I was a kid. And as much as I love Rovers, I would LOVE to get a WWII Jeep.

My dream of a daily driver would be a Land Rover 101

Any Mercedes diesel out of the 90's (car or truck)

1968 Plymouth Barracuda (the only year they looked "right")

A 4x4 Subaru Justy (they are just so stupid, I need one)

And last, if money were no option a 1940's Dragon Wagon (look them up, they are cool)

Oh yeah, I forgot, I have an 87 300TD wagon. It's pretty forgetable, but never fails me.

I remember this gentleman...Ron M.--Got an old chassis off him back in the mid 80s when I was in high school. I loved the Citroens...

To get on topic: Here's the type of truck I used as my daily driver for the 7 years prior to my current daily driver SIII (the photo isn't MY my old truck--Mine was in a bit more of a...used...condition). I was moving to California and decided I needed something more comfortable and economical for the 3000 mile trip so I went back to a series rover. Comfortable and economical--You don't hear series trucks described this way too often! Guess it depends on what you compare them to.

I feel compelled to list the vehicle I could not quite remember this afternoon. It is a 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C 'Tulipwood' Torpedo. If God has a car--it is this one. This thing is ridiculously French. The entire body is made of tulipwood. I can't imagine what one would go for, but I'm sure that Warren Buffet wouldn't be able to afford one.

Wow--This car was an eco-friendly, green vehicle LONG before it was trendy! Hopefully the Orkin Man sprays it regularly for termites!

All it needs is some wings, and you've got Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang!



I didn't mention them earlier, but, any Aston or Lotus (or TVR, etc.) would be awesome.

Are you kidding? If you showed up to a "green" convention in this thing, the tree-huggers would all of a sudden become carnivores, and eat you alive, because of the 19 trees that had to die to make it.
