OCG felidae edition.

Welcome to One Car Garage, in which I choose a manufacturer or class of vehicle, and you decide choose single vehicle (no matter how old, no matter how exclusive) to live with for the rest of your life. This is your only vehicle, and all expenses are paid for, including price of entry, insurance, gas, etc.

I'm SO SORRY Oppo, I promised I'd carry the torch when Eric left... I have not done that, have not had the inspiration.. Sorry about that.

This time we'll have a very special OCG, pick a car named after a felide..

I myself would pic a Mercury Lynx... Why? Well, it was such a shitty car it became cute,

I'm assuming you are simultaneously silly and Norwegian, and you mean cats. I'd go with a Jag. Specifically an XFR-S Sportbrake.

Not bad, I almost bought one of those a few years back. Just a Puma though, not much racing.

Apparently it's still one of the best handling FWD cars. And the regular Puma isn't half bad either.

The regular puma is a great car actually, well.. there was this slight issue with rust... but other than that, great car.

All European Fords from that period were extremely prone to rust. Try finding a KA without rust around the filler flap, or a clean mk1/mk2 Mondeo, Escort or a mk1 Focus. Impossible.

If I lived somewhere in the US, Australia or NZ I'd pick that one for sure. :)

Anyway, I must admit that I made this OCG just to get you guys away from thinking about the Tiger... :)

Okay, since someone already chose the Cheetah, I choose the Puma. Youabian Puma that is.

I own and drive a '97 Mitsubishi Lancer Wagon. It would be considered pristine here in Norway.. But I'm pretty sure I'll have to replace the rear arches in a year or so :P

I'm gonna have to have some bodywork done on my CLK as well. Two new rust spots appeared after the winter. :/

W208. It's an Italian tax-special 200K from 1998. It has a 2l motor with the same performance as a 230K. I've been thinking about switching to a 430, but can't find a really good one.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > . . 03/13/2014 at 13:24

You're from Italy? Why haven't I picked up on that before? Sorry mate. I'm fully aware of the special "rules" there, made some interesting BMW's and such.

. . > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh 03/13/2014 at 13:28

0

Nah, I'm not Italian. I'm Polish. My car's an import from Italy. The fact hat it's a souped up 2.0 meant that the import taxes were much lower than they would have been on a 2.3.

Hah. :] Cheers, mate.

Luckily, over here the displacement thing only applies to import taxes. You pay 3.1% of excise for cars with engines smaller than 2l, and 18.6% for cars with larger powerplants.

Ahh.. Our taxes are far more complex, I won't even try to explain them :P

But Poland though mate... My ex is Polish, when will you guys learn how to spell stuff :P She called herself Kasia, but she spelled her name Katarzyna :P

Or Robert as Bob :P Yeah... sorry... hehe... my bad :P It's just that I'm used to the Norwegian style :P Christian = Chris.. Anders (My name) will only be shortened if I talk to people that speak English :P

Some type of Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. Maybe an E type or Mark 2 sedan. But really, a convertible version of the Eagle E-Type GT low drag coupe.

It's pure pornography. That's a special paint finish to look like bare aluminum. I can't choose between that, or BRG. For a review, check out EVO.

I do love BRG.. but I must say that the special paint wins this time.

My name is Albert, so there isn't really an inttuitive way my name can be shortened (Albi perhaps?). As for Polish, our language is considered chronically mental by other nationalities in general. I'm not a massive fan of it myself; I prefer English.

It's just perfect. The car combines my insatiable lust for the E-Type combined with modern improvements that let it go toe to toe with most any sports car out there. You have your Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaag, and can really drive it too...

Albi sounds german... But thruth be told, Polish is on my "must learn" list, that may because I live in Norway though,

well everything paid, that means I wont have to worry about gas! for me there is a couple & I wouldnt care, tunnel ram dual carbed 454 in a 68 Camaro or 68 Nova, 4 speed with verticle gate shifter, or a 68 Mustang with 427 with tunnel ram dual carbs, 4 speed with verticle gate shifter

when I was young I did have big block cars as my daily drivers, loved it, & hated the gas mileage, & always had either a british car, or VW bug for a secondary car, for times I wanted to drive farther away, or couldnt afford gas. & the backups had modified engines as well

Sorry about the late reply mate, I still can't quite fathom how you stumbled upon this old post (I made it 7 months ago. That said, I don't think you quite read my wall of text properly mate, I'm asking for cars named after cats (felines) hence the name OCG "Felidae edition" :).

Nice choice of cars though, I'll give you that.

Now could you be a good sport and tell me how you stumbled upon a post that's more than seven months old?

I’ll go for a Puma GT-B, a Brazilian sports car with ties to VW.

But if Jaguars are allowed, give me an XJC instead.
