2005 BMW M3 Coupe	2003 Land Rover Freelander SE3	1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery
The E46 M3 is the best M3, fight me on it.	Say Land Rover and this is the last thing you think of.	Just needs a fake company name on the sides.

This fits the Sport category because it has limited-slip, sport suspension, spoilers & weighs a mere 1600lbs.	The Swedish military utilized these for radio command operations through the early 1990s.	I wonder…we shipped a ’63 panel back from Guam, but sold it when it stranded us near Nashville in ’79.

2006 BMW Z4 M Roadster	2005 Jeep Wrangler X	39k-Mile 2016 Audi S6
Looking back it seems I pick one Z4 a year for SORT, so this is this year’s.	I’ve picked 17 Wranglers over the first three years, this is the 2nd this year.	This is only the fifth Audi over 162 weeks and the only one of the 6 series.

Last week’s 812 Superfast didn’t meet the reserve, but that’s OK as I’s like this blue one better.	If you have been following along on my BAT fun you’ll know that I’m a sucker for a Wrangler.	If this goes for around $10k I’d probably dump another $20k to restomod it to modern running gear.

It’s a Ferrari, it’s red, it has 12 cylinders, so…hold on.	In the bed’s plastic jump seats you’d better hold on.	Old Porsche repair costs? Hold on to your wallet.

1974 BMW 3.0CS	1988 Toyota Pickup	1967 VW Karmann Ghia
While the early 2000’s BMW M5 is arguably the perfect BMW, the design of this one makes it a very close second IMHO.	This is the perfect lil’ truck, it was made when small trucks were actually small and the Xtracab helps with a little bit more storage.	The regular Karmann Ghia’s model designation was Type 14, this, not-for-sale in the US model, was designated the Type 34.

This one won’t get K-Swapped and a Liberty Walk body kit like this	I like small cars so this small 4×4 is perfectly sized for my tastes.	With 577 HP on tap the installed radar detector might come in handy.
