A few more...
Peugeot 607 Feline
Lamborghini Concept S
Bugatti Veyron Concept car (not bad!)
But still my favourite remains the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve Super Car Concept !

The Bugatti concept car is actually quite ugly.

You can also use this site to use pictures which are on the web, just click on "transload an image" then copy the URL of the picture where it's written "paste image URL here".
After that you do as Eric explained.

I still prefer a Ferrari!
If I may add, I like all things Italian! So stylish lah!
It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.

These are of my sexiest car (have owned her since 1975 when I did a complete restoration on her). She's a '57 Austin-Healey 100-6.

Very nice indeed Sir, didn't someone try and ban these cars from the roads back in the 50's because they were far to fast for the roads?

I'll have to admit, with a 2.8 litre 6 cylinder engine and rudimentary suspension & steering on skinny dunlops made for a pretty hairy ride. The only thing going for her was her very, very low c.o.g. (only had about 4" of ground clearance). The onlyl modification from original spec on the car is a 3 deuce manifold from a later 3000 Mk 1 and the paint job which is Lincoln Continental Mk V Silver. Don't think they were actually banned from the roads in the US. Not sure about european countries though.

P.S. I knew you had to be kidding about the Ford GT.
So which one do you prefer? Chrysler ME Four-Twelve I hope?

is that still the original engine which I guess it is, it's a work of art 90 plus bhp and a top end of just over 100 for a 50's car was un heard of.
SMS it must be a joy to drive even if it is a little indifferent going round bends and stopping!

Nice one sms!
CD, I like the Peugeot 607 Feline best. The flatter shapes are better for racing but I don't like sitting too near to the ground and feeling every pebble. They still look pretty classy though!
