Other topic:
Did I miss something or does no one like an Aston Martin so far? Also Ferraris and Maseratis don´t seem to be popular cars. And Alfa Romeos ..
I personally liked to drive the Alfa Fastback Spider in 1750 version of ca. 1978 and the original GTV 2.5 litre V6.
What about a Saab 900 turbo?
Aaah, so many cars, so little time ...
I am partial to an Aston or 2 but I was thinking Aston when I submitted my list..... Hate modern Ferraris and Massers, had a very bad experience and not keen of the owners generally, its the Footballers choice

As a quirky choice, I've always fancied an amphicar: -  Visions of beating a traffic jam by driving into a river and bypassing it!

The first one of those I ever saw was in Northern Ireland. Dad didn't know what it was, but it was in my Ladybird car book - instatnt recognition on my part. It was dripping water along the road, had just come out of Lough Neagh... Only others I've seen have been in museums (the Lakeland has at least one)... Visions of beating a traffic jam by driving into a river and bypassing it! I have visions of incompetent SatNav followers being able to continue their journey after driving into a canal  Wasn't there a recent TV prog (last 2 or 3 years) about the restoration of one of these?

Cheers, for that. I keep forgetting Google translation facility. Will have a closer look tonight - that should get  wondering

I know someone with a Nissan Figaro which might make a good donor car to make something like this

Graham, they come up for sale... I know, I looked a few years back  The Gibbs Aquada was the modern version but I don't think that ever really got off the ground (or should that be into the water?)

The problem with some translators like Babel Fish is that they can get it wrong and it then leads to funny misinterpretations!

"Das Problem mit einigen Übersetzern wie Babelfish ist, dass sie es errichten kann aufblies sehr und was der sehr schlechte dumme Junge ist" That is funny, some translations are really not usable. But this one looks quite ok to me: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mm-mehari.de%2FFertigfahrzeug.htm
