    Dead heat between the Beatle and the Thing. I love Things and always wanted one. So Thing wins 7 to 6
    The MINI smacked the GTi 7 to 3. We are on a MINI board after all. There was 1 vote from a non GTi owner :frown2:

    I am glad the Thing won it was a toss up for me.
    Ok it was me I voted for the GTI! Happy? I admit it!
    I only did it because I have a R53 I don't need two.
    Its Chucks fault! :biggrin5:

    Both Porsches as well. If you took the X of the 280z, or had a 260 or 240, it would have won hands down over the Volksporsche.

    928 and 914, although I would hold out for a '86 928S. It has the '87 S4 motor with the pre-facelift bumpers and spoiler.

    I have a little more than half of a 928 S4 now, a 944 Cab, 3.0L 4 cylinder :p

    Just the 914 here... I've still got the 914-6 on my bucket list. I've gotta have a Lotus 7 first!

    It was looking close on the 928 vs GTV6 but the 928 won out 8 to 5. I admit this was a tough choice. A friends dad had a GTV6 with the special leather and the bone shift knob. What a beautiful car.

    The 914 destroyed the worst Z ever 13 to 1.

    Tough choices minus the Elf.... Never likes the Elf.

    So I am going with the Karmann, just because IMO they are the most beautiful thing VW (not counting Porsche and the others) has ever offered. Even though they are dreadfully slow, and dont handle all the best, I could take care of that with copious amounts of aftermarket and fabricated parts.

    And the MINI that doesn't come with an extended backside and stupid schnoz...
