Cars... and dawning realisations...

"Long time no post", I said to myself. Truth is, so much has happened in the past few months I'm so confused as to what I should write about! That being said, I really don't think I wanna write about most of it... So what I've been busy doing the past day was making a list (or trying to..) of the cars I absolutely HAVE to own at some point in my life :) and of course, why..

Upon sitting down to do it, I realised how difficult it got after number 3... It's not about being the fastest, or the best looking, or even about having the most grunt... I guess it's all about character...

It started out as a draft of 10, then went up to 15, then 20 and I guess it'll keep getting updated even after 50.. So here goes with the 10.. Now this isn't in an order you, or any other soul might agree with, but these are my picks.. To each his own I say...

#1 Hummer H1 Alpha 2006

GOD. To me and a few US soldiers anyway... It had to be #1. The all-conquering one. 'nuf said.

#2 Chevrolet Camaro SS 2010

The mean one. The smirk on it's grill at night is enuf to make you turn tail and run. This then, is the car that made me pick my ass up and learn to drive in the nearest car available.

#3 Audi R8 V12 TDi

The world's first diesel supercar. More details elsewer in the blog. But here we go again :) 5934cc V12 twin-turbo TDi diesel, 500bhp, 1000Nm, 320kph, 9kpl. And she looks great too...

#4 Pagani Zonda F 2006

The supercar to have in my book. Screaming AMG 7.3 V12 with 602bhp/74kgm = respect. The sound, the design, the layout, the controls, the response and the acceleration..... I'm out of words so I'll quote Richard Hammond, "I've tried to think of clever things to say, but I couldn't..." &

"The powers gone up from 555bhp to 6-hundred-and-2...

That's TWO Porsche Caymans     in a car that weighs less     than ONE Porsche Cayman."

#5 Nissan GT-R SpecV 2009

The PlayStation car in real life :) 3.8 V6 turbo, 478bhp AWD GT car that looks like Japan's thoroughbred ambassador of speed...

#6 BMW M5 2007

Family saloon. 4 doors. 5 seats. 500bhp V10.

#7 Porsche 911 GT2 2008

Engine in the extreme end of the tail. And it's a 530bhp RWD 911...

#8 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black 2009

BiTurbo V12! 612bhp! 1000Nm!>>
Wheelspin.. Wheelspin... Wheelspin.... Wheelspin..... Traction!
Now you know why 0-100 takes almost 10 seconds... :)

#9 Lamborghini Reѷenton 2008

Mad bull on direct injection Red Bull, that is the land version of the F22 Raptor...


#10 Koenigsegg CCX-R 2008

Twin supercharged V8. Biofuel E85. 1018bhp. Screams. 410+ kph. Green car :)
