Dream Cars Of My Childhood

I was very very young in the '70s.
I loved cars.
I loved aircrafts.
I loved spaceships.
Sometimes, one or two or all three converged.
Herewith, a few examples:

1) Mercedes C111 - a bit plain but nice gullwing doors!

2) Autobianchi Runabout - a fun Bertone design, looks like speedboat!

3) Alfa Romeo Carabo - another Bertone design. "Carabo" means "scarab", hence the paint job.

4) Ferrari Modulo - a Pininfarina design of almost Syd Mead-ish proportions.

5) BMW M1 - the only Bimmer I ever fell in love with.

In April 2008, BMW rolled out a new M1 concept car in honor of the 30th anniversary of the original's introduction.
I was very busy at the time and did not hear anything about it.
BMW had said it was only a concept, but now they're saying something like this will be released in 2012.
So now, I invite you to discover this new bad-ass Bimmer that's bound to fire up a new generation's imagination.
Over to you, Adrian!

And if that wasn't enough, here are some photos of the BMW M1 Hommage.
One of those is my new desktop wallpaper. :)
