Somersoft Cars

[Corey Batt]

Judging from multiple threads now, a lot of members of the forum seem to have a strong love for cars! Maybe it is about time we show them off.

So how about this, upload a picture of your car, why you drive this car (reliable, fun, w&nk factor etc) and what would you like your next car to be?

I'll put mine up later.

This is my project - but i drive one these currently.

I drive one of these:

I ride one of these:

One gets me to work cheaply and comfortably. The other is my ticket to adventure.

This is my pimp ride, gets about 20l/100km, so I drive it as little as possible. I'm going to put on a spoiler, chrome hubcaps and an exhaust extension so it can be fully sick, might even get some personalised plates.

EDIT :YIKES, can i use some fancy html to make the image smaller without re-uploading it?

 

[Corey Batt]

Aaron, i see the chev is coming along nicely!

Here's mine:

Quite happy with it, BMW's are just fun to drive. Will probably get newer 325ci after this, or maybe the latest model 3 series coupe when the time comes...

I drive a Toyota RAV 4. It's comfortable, roomy and works well for my needs.

This is the first car I've ever purchased, I bought it in my late 30s. Prior to that I drove my wife's '97 Hyundai Excel and my grandmothers 1970 Ford Escort before I met my wife.

Cars are nice but there's other things I'd rather spend money on. In the past 2 years I've spent more on my scuba hobby than what some small cars are worth

BMW 320d, BMW X5 and Lexus IS200.

Hooked on BMWs now and doubt if I'd buy anything else now.

Not photos of actual cars, just same model/colour from the web.

My beast...

Spent about $12k just on engine work, exhaust etc. so it is a bit of a sleeper. Have yet to run it down the quarter, but would expect high 12's or low 13's.

EDIT: sorry about the size, I'm doing this from my iPad...

Daily Driver - WM Caprice 6.0 Litre V8. We make a lot of trips to our home down the South East and always have the trailer loaded on the trip down.
That V8 power gets us there quickly, safely and extremely comfortably -

For weekends and fun trips 1969 Mustang Grande Coupe. Lots of power from the V8 engine. Has Dakota Digital Dash, Custom Upholstery and soon to have TCP Rack and Pinion Steering -

Our cute little 68 Mustang 6 Cyl Coupe. Here it is winning an award at the 2010 Mustang Nationals -

Here are a couple of our 1969 Mach1 Mustangs that we recently restored. We took them to the 2012 Mustang Nationals in Newcastle and stopped in at bathurst to try them out around the track -

I have a Mazda 6 Touring wagon as my company car

Also have a Honda CRV as my personal/weekend/IP reno/dog transport car.

Prior to the Madza and Honda I had a HSV VXR, but it was impractical as a day to day work car so it got sold

Couldn't find somewhere to host the pic I have of mine, but the one below is identical.

 

[goonandtell]

rolling around in a sweet BFII Futura wagon on gas so spare tyre shoved in the boot.. yer thats right respect the futura bluetooh car kit, rear power windows and even extra vanity lights. i haven't got a picture handy because i dont want to make anyone jealous.

i also have a toy i am pretending to sell at the moment in a GSXR-600 had it for a few years since new and recently upgraded the exhuast for a bit of fun.

Here's mine, Merc E250 Cabriolet.

 

[moyjos]

Another BMW here

This is my first decent car after a string of commodores and falcons as kids ferris and work cars.

This one is MINE . We have the falcon trayback work ute as well.

Here's mine, Merc E250 Cabriolet.

The best car on this thread thus far. Gimme.

 

[AndrewT]

Well I wish that was my car! I plan on getting one in the future but hopefully not to find out why they call them a widow maker!

I've probably had too many cars, but I have loved each one!
- Nissan 180sx Type X
- Ford BF XR6 Turbo
- Skoda Octavia vRS
- Mazda 3 MPS BK (current)

I'll post pics tomorrow.

2011 VW Golf R is my day to day car. Remapped and an intake. Looking at getting a dump pipe soon.

Once my lease is up I'll get a turbo diesel Audi a4 quattro I think.

I also have a BMW 2000 which needs a lot of work. Classic 4 door with wind up sunroof.

Then there's a track prepped 91 Mazda mx5. Which is needing work after an off on a track.

And a 95 liberty wagon that is my reno wagon..

Nice cars. I struggle to get past the fact that they lose half their value as soon as you drive them off the lot. Also - the amount of money to spend on cars and insure them - there is another deposit

I invest so I can enjoy nice things and have a comfortable life.
