ladies and gents,
I know this is a rc site, but i started thinking, we all have our favourite rc car. Well what about favourite big car. So i tried to nail down my favourite car, couldn't do it, so settled on 5 cars money no object i would love to own.
To start it rolling here are mine, in no particular order.
1. Shelby Mustang GT500 aka Eleanor.
2. Bugatti Veyron.
3. Porsche 911 Turbo.
4. Nissan Skyline GTR R32 aka Godzilla.
5. Aston Martin Vanquish.
Not the best they all have flaws but I would love to own these cars.
So what are yours?

Looking at that makes me regret selling my series 1 was one of the last ones on a D plate. It went to fund an RS500 though again which I regret selling to buy a house :thumbdown:

You lucky person! I have a 9-5 Aero which is insanely fast, but doesn't have the handling or looks as a proper 900!
Did have a 3.0 v6 Capri and it was awesome, until my father flipped it!

Well, thanks for sharing such a good question. Mine 5 favourite big car are creta, tata tiago , nexon, kwid and ford ecosport . But Nexon is one of first preference because Tata Nexon (https://autoportal.com/newcars/tata/nexon/) has been the most popular compact SUV, since its launch and the organization hopes to proceed with its push to take care of the growing demand. It’s styling and impressive features on offer for the affordable price range. Although the car is priced affordably, it offers a great amount of comfort along with a bunch of features. The rear end of the SUV gets a unique design, which sets it apart from its rivals. It gets a rear bumper, spoiler, LED lights and a shark-fin antenna. The sloping roofline meets the rear spoiler to provide it an appealing look, and it largely depicts the rear of a crossover.
