What type of car do you drive?

**HappyHammer** · 15th July 2004, 07:01 PM

OK following the theme of other threads tell us the following;

1. What do you drive now?
2. What would you like to drive now (in your price range)?
3. What would you like to drive now (money no object)?
4. What is your favourite car you have owned in the past?

For me...

1. Pajero (Have two kids and share it with the wife)
2. Give wife Pajero and buy self dual cab Toyota Hi-lux SR5.
3. A Bentley for cruising, a Hummer for fun and a big yank pickup for stuff.
4. Not best but most fun was an 11 year old Jaguar I owned when I was 18, it died after a year of abuse, sad what you do when you're young and foolish.

1) '96 Mitsbubishi L300 4wd van (work) '92 Commodore wagon (family car)
2) Nissan Navara TD 4wd, Toyota Echo
3) Nissan Navara TD 4wd with all the fruit, Porsche Turbo any new model
4) Toss up between V8 Hilux 4wd, V8 Holden one tonner with a seriously modified motor and my first car an old Mazda 1800 (body design by Bertone) in which I put a full race cam and two humungous carbies. It could lay rubber in 1st, 2nd & 3rd and I would blow away all the local lads in their imitation XU1s. I painted it black with random sized triangles of different vibrant colours all over it :eek: , this was in my graphic art days

1. 2003 Suzuki Vitara SWB, '92 BMW 325i (300,000 k's)

2. I like what I've got, maybe upgrade the Bimmer to a 2000 Model 330

3. M3 BMW (Speed kills, play it safe, drive a Ford!)

4. '86 LWB Suziki Vitara sold last year with 300,000k's and the Bimmer before this, an '86 520 with 475,000 k's or maybe (if bikes are allowed) the '73 Norton Commando Fastback.

Sad thing about driving BMW's is everyone thinks you can afford to pay full price, they don't understand that my Zook is worth twice as much, nor that anyone would buy a Bimmer because they actually like the things! (They would be better cars without the badge!)

Funny thing is that I sold the 86 Zook for $200 less than it's new price, $2000 more than I got for the 86 Bimmer!!

If I break down in the Zook, I just hitch a lift back in an F250, and sit back as the view goes past so S L O W L Y!!

Its not actually the speed that kills.

I had an XC 4.9l with 4v heads rally pack falcon with a top loader 4 speed, wrapped around to 240 kms years ago, and Im still here.
Maybe because it was go faster red?

1. What do you drive now?

1957 Porsche 356 coupe (I've been in love with this one for 25 years), 1993 SAAB 900i Aero (the last of the true Saabs, and the best shape of them all), 2002 Toyota Tarago (the family wagon).

2. What would you like to drive now (in your price range)?

I plan to replace the SAAB in the near future with perhaps an Audi TT.

3. What would you like to drive now (money no object)?

Cars are generally quite low down on my wish list. But I'd love a 1973 Porsche 911 RS (about 10 in the world!)

4. What is your favourite car you have owned in the past?

The first car is always special. Mine was a 10 year old, fifth-hand (time) bomb, a Lancia Fulvia Coupe. Clapped out but so much fun. I think it cost me about $500 some 30+ years ago.

Regards from Perth
