In my Mind I'm a Stratos Owner

 It's true, I love this car.

It's UFO, Blade Runner and ASTRO1 rolled into one.

The boot is a triangle.


It has everything all my coolest Superfast and Hot Wheels had.


And you sit in a cockpit.

Hot Wheels saw the light.

The Lancia Stratos.

Forget everything else.

What do you think readers?

What's your dream car?

    My dream car would be the 1955 Lincoln Futura, which later became the TV Batmobile.

      Only one Lincoln Futura was built, and that was turned in to the TV Batmobile, so the answer to how many are left is - none. But full-size replicas have been made. I still want one.

  2. Just a '60s E type Jag.
    Or, as a close second, Bond's Aston Martin DB5.
    And I'm not a car guy !

  4. You're thinking of 'The Protectors' Woodsy, starring Robert Vaughn.

  5. I loved the Lamborghini Contach I had as a Matchbox toy as a kid, with its big glass sides.
    Strangely, not really being a car person, my dream car would be a Citroen Traction Avant. I just love that styling!
