My favorite turbine car- the Turbonique Black Widow VW

What is your preferred Zombie Apocalypse vehicle?
For me, it would be a 4-wheel drive Mercedes Sprinter van, suitably modified.
Or, if the zombies make it difficult to get fuel, then maybe a more economical 4-wheel drive, modded Kei van.

My wife had a '90s GEO Prizm. Automatic and burgundy just like this one. The Prizm was a rebadged Toyota Corolla sold at GM dealers. Eventually we gave it to my sister but first I took it to a track day at Lime Rock and beat the snot out of it. Ran great for my sister another 3 years. Durable car

Agreed. 😉
(my 718-2.0 this AM)

Best to both of you!
(our anniversary was Dec 8).

My '92 Ford Escort GT was a neat endurance racer. Ran in numerous 3 and 4 hour events...plus a couple at night.
Had a nice Mazda twin cam with 5 speed. I got it as a freebie from a relative and built it into a club racer. Not fast but predictable and easy to drive. Should have kept it but no space

There was a time when you could pick up a decent 996 for less than $20,000 USD (17,200 Euro). A good friend of mine bought an excellent one with a factory replaced engine for $15,000.
Alas, everyone has figured out that these are really nice cars, and the "fried egg" headlights deal is nonsense.

I'm looking at the third one (black car) with the nose sticking up.
And with drum front brakes.
Wonder what it is?

OK. That's badass. 👍

I would call this throw-a-tarp-over-a-golf-cart styling.

Yes. Mine was a originally a tan car with a tan grill (and chrome surround).
I've seen all-chrome grills but not sure if they are factory.
Some racers paint a checkered-flag motif and some will do the grill all-black.

Lovely.
Here's my blue A35 at Lime Rock race track.

I'm often on-track with 3 Cortinas. This red one has the Mann look (the other 2 are white or tan).

This is my favorite bonnet ornament- 😉

Dark green Austin Healey Sprite Mk 1 with yellow stripe racing at New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey during the early 1970s

Nice! Ideal color for a Sprite/Midget. I brush painted my 1st Mk1 Sprite (aka-"Bugeye" or "Frogeye") green over 50 years ago. As we say, it was a "20 footer". See old photo of me racing it at New Egypt Speedway.

Excellent plan! 😀

Damn!
Something else to add to the bucket list. 😉

You're right. For fast zombies, I'll stick with my 718 Cayman. 😁

Easy. In my case, not theoretical. I drove it today.
My extended wheelbase GMC Savana cargo van.
155 inch wheelbase (3.94 meters)
Total overall length is 244 inches (6.2 meters).
It's my cold-weather daily driver (minus the trailer except during racing season).😉

Winter is coming. It was 15F (-9C) here this morning. Time to start looking at the ultimate zombie apocalypse vehicle.
The Hägglund bv 206.
One of my racing pals has one of these on his farm. All four tracks are driven. Ideal for Antarctica or the Yukon or just for showing off in New Jersey.

My '88 Toyota Celica with my Aeronca L3. The Celica was given to me by a friend-of-a friend. Was a 5 speed in nice shape but had a bad motor. I bought a junkyard motor for it ($200). Drove it 8 years
Weird fact: I casually knew the gal who gave it to me but never realized we had the same last name!

My old street MG and my old Aeronca L3

Also, it has to fly and make lattes.

More photos from last vintage event I will ever run at Pitt-Race race-track. Now closed as of last week.

My friend Bill just posted this photo & message that we should savor the moments we've had at Pitt-Race since we'll never be able to return there.
I know the feeling. I learned to race at Bridgehampton which is now a golf course
Members of the local Steel Cities/Pittsburgh area SCCA are heartbroken

The Pitt-Race race track (neat Pittsburgh & formerly BeaveRun) has been sold to Amazon & will be converted to a data center. Built around 2003, it has had many recent track-centered upgrades. It's surrounded by cheap land that is available. Local Pittsburgh races are devastated.

Or maybe my stodgy British saloon? 😉

*Someone* has a sense of humor! 😉

More cars I saw at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix car show held on the Roberto Clemente Bridge

A week. I bought this MG Midget from the mayor of our town (actually, his estate-he was dead). I titled it to myself the same day to make sure sale was legit. Within a week I towed it to my brother's house where he bought it from me (he was looking for one). I bought it back from him 9 years later.
