With Quattro and twin turbos, it made for a great four season car, especially in winter. Great on the Vermont mountain rallys too. the Z4 looks nice but I really miss the 2 Audis we had. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30894 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:44:58 +0000 Aleeve 30894@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>scott i really want the top one? z4 yeah? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30849 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:59:03 +0000 Lighthouse 30849@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Here is a more modern 3-wheeler.

The story (history) on the side is interesting too. The Morgan sports cars had no suspension all the way into the 60's but had a wooden frame instead that would flex. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30843 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:30:45 +0000 Lighthouse 30843@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Not sure what model it was, but I like the one in the first pic here.<br /> <a href='http://pages.zoom.co.uk/elvis/morgan.html'>http://pages.zoom.co.uk/elvis/morgan.html</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30841 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:27:56 +0000 whs 30841@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Lighthouse. Looked like they were trying to wreck the engine. But they were Bavarians (as far as I could tell by the dialect). Those guys are rough. I also gathered that the engine had 58 horsepower. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30839 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:22:14 +0000 Lighthouse 30839@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@whs.

I remember that there were a few British makes that made 3wheelers.<br /> @ Scott, this current BMW is a bore compared to the 507 which had a 3.2 litre V8 and 160HP (in the early 50's). And how come your favorite Vette does not have the split rear window - those are the rare ones. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30815 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:17:21 +0000 Scott 30815@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This is the current, (exact color) </p> <p><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/1306/z4np3.jpg"></a></p> <p>but doesn't hold a candle to the last one,</p> <p><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4137/audittus5.jpg"></a></p> <p>and this was always my dream car</p> <p><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5249/stingraykb1.jpg"></a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-iswas-your-favorite-car#post-30811 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:03:17 +0000 Lighthouse 30811@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>English - Old, Morgan 3 wheeler<br /> German - Old, VW Dormobile<br /> American - Even older, Model T-Ford Flat bed </p>
