3. Ford Capri MkIII 79' 3.0S, geniuin Zakspeed bodykit, 15" RS wheels, Turbo rear spoiler and LSD. Miss this car badly!!

4. Ford Capri MkII 74' 3.0 with wide arches, 1600 back axle, duck tai, 13" Allycat wheels, later fitted with tuned 2.8 carb engine.

6. Sierra XR4X4I 86' 2.8 engine. Worst car ever had, wasn't me if you getting me. Changet that for car 7.

You're not alone!! I too worship the grail of the mighty blue oval!! ;)

I sold my Capri last year ;) 1600 Laser, 2.8i special wheels, recaro interior, slightly lowered......I used to have a silver 1600LS with the factory fitted 5 speed box as well :) They were both daily drivers, hence the 1600 5 speed theme!

Me and the Mrs now have 3 Mk2 Escorts between us. Just took delivery of another 1600 Ghia! :D

i dont know if ive already posted here or not. i drive a 1997 V-6 Mitsubishi Montero. i hate it! no power, top heavy and an auto tranny. cant wait to get my own car and not drive my parent's car.

A V6 SUV as your first car and you're complaining?? Blimey. If that was mine I'd be straight off with the local club greenlaning and getting it generally very muddy.

When my Dad got a Land Cruiser he had to ban me from driving it after I entered it into a rally and knackered the low ratio 'box. :)

It's gotta be the auto tranny. I have the V6 petrol 5 speed manual Pajero (Montero in Australia) and it has ample power to do 130km/h up the beach and I've never gotten it stuck in a situation where it didn't have enough power and gearing to crawl it's way out.

It is a 2.5 tonne SUV, not a 1000kg toy racer. It will still light up the 16" offroad wheels in 1st gear if you side-step the clutch.

I drive my V8 Cortina when I feel the need for speed :)

the montero isnt exactly a speed demon but it is a great off roader, and every good in the snow. if i need speed i would have to see if my mom would let me take out here 2004 Acura TL. its a sweet little while 4-door rocket with a 6-speed manual tranny in it!

Mmmh dribble :rolleyes: pics ?

It's already in the thread... somewhere LOL (page 6)

I have an Escort coupe as well. Both yellow... no surprises there.

my family should be getting rid of the acura because its no god to us in the winter and getting a gold 2000 Audi A6 2.7T with the bi-turbo and a 6-speed tranny!!! i hear the quattro systems are amazing in the snow! this one has every option that you could buy on an A6. that audio system sounds great and i love the heated seats in the cold weather package. :)

After slightly modifying my Fiat (crashed I suppose is the more accurate term :) ) I have just bought a Volvo 850 estate, 2.5 litre 10 valve. Great condition considering its got almost 204,000 miles on it.

Posted

Recently my daily driver was a Toyota Corolla 97 (no pictures right now) from my wife and a Jeep Cherokee 4,0.

But due to no time for driving off the road and modifiying, I lost interest on the Jeep and I sold it.

Sold the Corolla recently as my wife got an almost new Skoda Fabia I (2004 with only 10.000 km! on it) from my Father in law. Now im using the Skoda as my daily driver.

My wife is using my Toyota Landcrusier J9 3,0 TD because she is taking care of our children.

The LC is slightly modified. TJM aluminum T15 Bullbar, 265/75/16 AT's, a custom made intercooler and a modified motor management (powerbox). Power stock - 125 hp ---> now 180 hp, in Winter close to 190 hp and 400nm torque. All done from a professional workshop who is specialised on Toyota Landcruiser and building up Rally Raid Racing cars based on Toyota Landcruiser. http://www.hr-offroad.at/hr_offroad_competition.htm

After reading the top three cars post would be interested to know what cars

you all drive see if we all have similar tastes as we all similar interests.

I drive a Peugeot 106 GTI and no I am in no way a boy racer it is completely

stock and very fast :) and handles like a dream. I am a real hot hatch fan and

for a 1.6 ltr car it embarrasses others that can cost three times as much.

Sadly the GSi is no more mate, someone decided they liked it and towed it off my drive 12 months ago :P

It was XE'd, I was all set to put a LET in it and it got robbed.

You decided to get back into your R/C stuff then? I dug out my old stuff a couple of months ago, its cheaper than real cars !

Posted
