up until I was around 5, I had an obsession with Toyota LandCruisers. Before I get flamed too hard I did grow in the bush on a farm.

After that, my parents bought a '88 Skyline GX Wagon, and my obsession fell to Skylines for a little while...

when I turned 7, I got a red Ferrari F40 remote control car. Obviously I fell in love with it and it became my hero car.

Somewhere in between then and when I turned 10, my hero car changed to the Jaguar XJ220, because it was the fastest production car in the world (at the time, or at some time, I forget). Oddly enough when I heard of the McLaren F1 I didn't jump ships...

After that, it was a Toyota MR2. A computer game I had at the time described it as "3/4 of a Ferrari at 1/4 of the price."

When I was 12, I saved up for a PSX and 2 games, one of them was a brand spanking new copy of a game known as "Gran Turismo." I fell in love with the R32 GT-R for a short amount of time, but then I found the the Toyota Supra, particularly the Special one "Castrol Supra GT." I think it had a twin turbo 20 valve in it... all I remember is that it was a 4 banger.

Not much happened with my choice untill I got my Ps, where my first car was a '88 Skyline Wagon (yes, the same Skyline Wagon my parents bought 12 years earlier ) then my obbsession with GT-Rs came back. To this day on any game with a Skyline in it I will buy it. In Gran Turismo 4 I have about 8... favorite being the R31 GTS-R.

Right now if I had to name a hero car, it would be a choice between a Ferarri F40 or a R35 GT-R. F40 because it was made in 1987, same year as I was born, the R35 because it just looks mean.

Mine changed a few times but the first one I remember was the trans-am with the big bad gold eagle. I also had the matchbox car but not anymore.

After that I wanted a "brock". Then the lambo that was on the chipboard print in my room next to Samantha Fox.

High School came along and it turned to the walkinshaw. Then VCE came and it was a VL turbo with walkinshaw rims or simmons.

High school ended and I promised myself I would have 300zx. I thought V6, twin turbo can not be beaten and it looks horn too!!

Went to buy my first car and wanted the VL but just couldnt stretch the funds and had to settle for a R31 Pintara. Fell in love with the Japs and then got a 31 skyline gxe and the rest is history.

Still have my R31 GTSR to this day.

Browsing through the web, I came across some Viper photos and it brought back some memories. The Viper used to be my hero car of all times, I had two plastic models all painted and polished when I was a little kid because I was so obsessed with it.

What are your childhood hero cars?

Honda CRX - LOL!

my cousin got one ages ago (he now has a Skyline R32 GTS4).. CRX isn't bad.. i think he got the 1991 so the year when i was born, but their pretty nice cars, light and fast round corners

[POLICE]

Back in Shanghai (my hometown) around 1990

all I saw on the road were gazillions of bicycles, scooters and the odd sh*tty lil volkswagen taxi

so I had no dream car as of then

Was really into the styling of the Integra Type-R and Celica

I don't know how I ended up with a R33

Now this is my dream car with the 3 stooges in the background
