Heaps more I could add but I'd be getting carried away
must say nice wish list car for a 20 yr old & female @ that. I'd love the landau version myself
Oh the joys of being young with expendiable income & stuff all commitments. Days of having toys again getting closer & closer as 1x1 our children become independant. But for now I'm happy with the housebus & lil ford runabout.
 
Nice Woodsy. Just curious, what do you do? If it's not too personal.

Not too personal at all. I'm a retail manager of a Priceline, after being a specialist in cosmetics/skincare. Although I just went for a job interview in banking this arvo! Fingers crossed for career progression! lol.

LOL yeh I get that a lot! Yesterday at the servo I had a girl my age ask me what my number plate meant.. I spent 5 mins explaining what a kilowatt is.. it made me a bit sad on the inside! Everyone should know..

Awesome! Makes me want to give up on uni and get a full time job.... I want a fast rig :(

lol, I remember the ads on tv "KILLER WASPS!?"

Yeah, everyone should know what a KW is. My GF hates fast cars, though. She spent $1000 on a hand bag and can't see the value in a 20k R34 :s

Haha nah stick with uni. Once you're done you'll be able to get one & you'll have a degree or whatever under your belt too. That V8 takes up a LOT of money; it's hard to justify having it but I do love it. Every time I drive it I know why. However.. $110 at the servo is no fun. That car is actually the main reason I'm looking for another job, I need more $$ for it LOL.. Usually with people they'll change their car for their job but oh well.

I could also spend 1g on a handbag though... or maybe some shoes? I think I'm just terrible all round ha
 
been posted before, but hey i love my toys. or should i say loved:cry: sold them to buy a house, pay for wedding, start a family etc.

in a few years i plan on building something for the family. an over powered, hk wagon or something along those lines i think.

anyway, heres some pics i have of a few toys that helped me......:shock: get in trouble with the locals.

Love the torry mate!!! My first car was an LH, i intended on building up, never happened though. Still want to get another one, one day. Price has gotten so excessive these days though.

I spend $115 or so every time I go to a petrol station. Fuel here is $1.60 and I drive 110 km a day at least -.-
 
well i just drove home after picking up my new beast
2011 fpv GS ute 5.0L supercharged beast.

absolutebeast and funkingunbelieveableyeah pics soon
 
Fords and holdens are good and they make great power.... But after a while they rattle like it's gunna fall apart. Plus, they don't handle like a proper sports car.

I guess you guys hate rice rockets, but for performance and value for money, you can't go past japanese stuff. I've been in an old R32 that handled dirt roads smoother than my 2001 falcon does!



it all depends on what you want to do with the power too, power will give you speen and top end but if you want a pick up better than speed isnt it better to build a engine full of torque,( and better for the motor )

Yeah well that's the point mate, you have to think about what you're going to be using the car for, and then build it to work. I'd prefer a mix of bottom and top end, but torque can be lots of fun :) it's all in the gearing, too.

How many K's are you gunna put on it before you give it a thrash? 1000? Nice ute mate.
 
Sacred, I very much like that ute! Brand new or demo? Don't go sticking a Mustang badge on it like all the stupid 'Chev' owners! LOL
My fav FPV is the F6 typhoons
 
I can KIND OF understand why someone has a chev badge if they have an LS engine in their commo.... But people with SV6's or even omega's with chev badges **** me. They have no shame!!!
 
Lol no shame! I reckon :) But it's not even a Chev engine, they're produced entirely by GM, Chev haven't made their own engine in years. LS's are used in caddis, pontiacs as well so it's silly. & the v6's are sold as a Chev in the middle east which is a lot of peoples argument too I guess. But I still just don't get it... Why do people not like the holden badge lol!
 
here is my 69 Pontiac Parissiene 4 door hardtop

it has no engine/box now, but will go the usual 350chev combo when ready

Has 275 tyres, complete interior etc but is in process of a big clean up...long term clean up LOL

rare model and built in Australia with factory RHD and holden build plates!
