Friend had a VW thing that was not a very common car, but God it was a fun car to drive. Used to drive around town, top off blaring bagpipe music...it was an attention getter 
I have a friend that drove a Thing for decades, it would go where many 4x4s would not, truly amazing.
1966 Alfa Romeo GT 1300. My Uncle had one when I was in high school. He let me drive it once. At the time, I thought it was the ugliest car ever. I would love to have one now.

As a kid I built a slant six in a Duster that was a V8 eater. I had found an interesting article in my school's library of periodicals called "Walk softly and carry a big Six". It was based around the old Dodge 225 hyper pack engine from the early sixties. I just went on YouTube and found tons of these copies running races. I'm glad they are still around. Here is a good link to the hyper packs:

X2 I saw the episode you are talking about and it was pretty cool. I like the Lamborghini LM002. Kind of an odd, but cool looking and gotta love the HP!
When I was younger I had a thing for a subaru SVX and datsun 510s, but the older landrover side of me would like to build a coil sprung lightweight with a 4.2.

That's cool! I new that Lamborghini had made tractors. Myself prefer JD's. I've restored a few for people down here.

Wierd, I just saw a SVX on the road today. First one I've seen in 5-6 years.
I wanted to buy one when Budget RAC of AZ bought two purple ones from Budget Hawaii back when I worked there. I asked the controller about buying one, but they wanted more than I could afford (and much more than they paid).

Porsche made them too. I never saw one in person but have seen photos of a restored one when I worked for a dealer many,. many years ago....
