Distinctive cars in distinctive colours
All three of these builds were thoroughly enjoyable, not just because they are distinctive cars, but also because of their colours. The challenge of building a real-world model in an unusual colour goes far beyond throwing some money at the problem. No single bricklink seller has all the parts needed for any one of these. I've gathered most of the parts by buying small quantities from different sellers over many different orders spread out over several years. Furthermore, the variety of different parts made in any of these colours is severely limited. Proponents of virtual building can argue that I am arbitrarily restricted by the parts palette, but this ignores the point: much of the challenge, the fun and the skill lies in being able to build something that looks cool despite the limitations!
