There are cars that are generally accepted as liefhebbersauto. Large Citroëns, air-cooled Porsches or classic Italians, you kick against the sore leg. But just as with music, there are also cars which really can’t do it, but you are still fantastic.

While I regularly try to throw as patron of the forget automotive, is my absolute dream car almost embarrassingly trite: the Ferrari F40. Nevertheless, I can still not really a guilty pleasure, call it, is the F40 to be generally appreciated. No, a true guilty pleasure is a car that really no one seems to appreciate it, but you fantastic. And very for from dares to come. The automobile equivalent of The Kelly Family, Ace of Base or Jody Bernal so. The wrong car.

Since I am curious went to your guilty pleasures, I will set a good example and with the blush on the cheeks to admit that I warm get of the Austin Maestro. A rather common British car from the ’80s, that all good was when he was introduced. Even better than a Austin Maestro, an MG Maestro. Compare it with the Abarths now. With the illustrious name it has very little to do, but it is just somewhat harder and is thus more fun.

After my coming out, it is time for those of you. Which car would you sneak best in your garage, want to have, and then using the big sunglasses, and wig, and, occasionally, a block to go?
