If I could pick one of these to have I’d still pick the Morgan.

Pretty accurate. However, I would add old Mercs to the list. Mainly, the brown, wagon, manual, diesel ones

The 240Z is great, but maybe too mainstream, the GT2000 might have it beat for vintage Japanese sportscars

Aw11 or Sw20? Sounds like a cage match to me.

Los Jalops like a good, simple, rugged, workhorse.

Hmmmm... Well I’m biased, but I think we’ve got more AW11 guys around here

472CID > JeepJeremy 06/18/2015 at 13:20

Based on site populatirty I’d say Cherokee SRT, and more recenty the Renagade. Personally I’d say the most Jalop Jeep would be something like a Honcho

Cars with specific small and vocal cults around them here include Falcons, 60s Mercurys, Defenders (and Series), and Ruxtons.

Mainstream? How often do you see them? I live in the Bay Area I know three people with a 240, one is the Datsun mechanic and the only other older Zs I see are generally 60s or 80s, even those I see about as often as a Fiskar Karma. You should also have a W123 Mercedes on the list, an i5 diesel car, I have one of those too. The Toyota is basically non existant, I see the one in Japan at the museum and that’s about it.

We used to have a bigger Falcon cult. Pixel at least had one, and there’s another guy who doesn’t post much. The Ruxton cult is me, sn210, lamcb, and perhaps some others. Mercury is mostly MontegoMan and me, but with a lot of part timers, and Rovers are very distributed. So yes, these are cults I’m in, but mostly average 3 or more people that probably aren’t my spare personalities...
