Seeing as this is a volvoforum, I present to you the maddest scandinavian car.. ever.... It's the car that as a child inspired Christian Von Koenigsegg to become a supercar manufacturer.

My God. That car is Ace! It's like what would happen if Fast + Furious went Steampunk

I do like these old Landrovers - apart from the rotten electrics ( and chassis, and bulkhead, and doors, and wings etc ) they've got a kind to gormless unstoppability about them. I rebuilt this about 9 years ago - then sold it to pay for the down payment on a mortgage....

Now here's a car for ya

MKIII 360GLT Aus-spec B200EA 239K
Mods: custom paint fade
New Cylinder head.
Auxilary cooling fan.
195/60/14 Pyonghung Ditchfinder tyres
Vario Vents FTW
G8 4 DRFTN etc....

Oooh good thread.
Ford RS200 Evo
Ferrari F40 LM
Porsche 959
They would be the first three in my ideal garage and in that order. Then I'd add some 60's and 70's US muscle.

The 6lt W12 one !
As used in:
Transporter 3 is a 2008 action film, and is the third installment in the Transporter film series, as well as the first not to be distributed by 20th Century Fox in the United States. Both Jason Statham and François Berléand reprised their roles, as Frank Martin and Tarconi, respectively. This is the first film in the series to be directed by Olivier Megaton. The film continues the story of Frank Martin, a professional "transporter" who has returned to France to continue his low-key business of delivering packages without questions.

I'd happily rock a 6R4 too, even a Clubman spec.
Oh yeah, I'd have a handful of ex works Supertourers from the 90's also.

What I find a tiny bit amusing is there is an OEM 300 spoiler thats about the size of the one on the above T16
Don't think anyone has ever found one though.
EDIT: Can't find a pic now... Steve will likely remember where a pic is though!
