Alright, I have decided on an Exotic... with our selection in the 17th round, Lemelin's Lemmings pick the Mercedes CLK GTR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_CLK_GTR

Rare...

Quote:
In total, 26 CLK-GTR production road versions were constructed. Of these 26, 20 are coupes and six are roadsters.
and powerful...

Quote:
... the V12 ... allowed for 720 bhp and torque to 572 lb·ft. Mercedes-AMG claimed a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h).
Sounds like an exotic to me.

Plus, I needed to grab at least one Mercedes before Tim hogged them all.

That is kinda cool little car. Never heard of it before.

I found this kind of interesting...

Quote:
The P50 used a 49 cc (3.0 cu in) DKW engine which gave it a top speed of approximately 61 kilometres per hour (38 mph), and was equipped with a three-speed manual transmission that had no reverse gear. Consequently, turning in a confined area could only be achieved by pushing, or lifting the car using the handle on the rear and physically pulling it round.
The thing only weighed 130 lbs. though, so it wouldn't be too bad I guess.

With our final pick in the CP Car Draft (sniff, sniff... I can't believe it is over), Lemelin's Lemmings take a trip across the Pacific to the island of Japan to make their Asian selection... the Toyota MR2 (Mk1).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Mr2

Another great car from my youth. I've never been in one but they always looked like they would be a ton of fun to drive.

Quote:
The press received the AW11 with open arms and praised its innovation, great feeling, and responsive engine. American car magazines Road & Track and Car and Driver both chose the AW11 on their lists of ten best cars which included some tough competition, such as the Ferrari Testarossa. The Australian Wheels magazine chose the 1988 AW11 as its favourite sports car. The MR2 was Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1985. In 2004, Sports Car International named the MR2 number eight on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s. The MR2 was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1986 and 1987. This vehicle was often referred to as a "Pocket Rocket". Silver models were often called "The Silver Bullet".

Question: does the DeLorean DMC-12 in the movie category mean I can't take the normal version that doesn't time travel? If I can take it, it's my 80s pick.

I was under the assumption that the movie car was equivalent to the real thing and therefore wouldn't be available for someone else to pick.

But I'm not the boss.

TimSJ is AK'd so the final pick goes to psyco_D!

Once psyco_D picks then the draft is over and you can all make your AK'd picks at your leisure.

Thanks everyone for participating! This was very enjoyable for me cause I don't know anything about cars!
