I saw a Caldina down the Coast last year, it looked like a Camry from the arse end?

Luv the Ponti.

I once had a Bradford Panel Van. No pics, (before cameras were invented) who knows what it is. And dont cheat by asking wiki.

Consul Classic Estate

In perhaps the most radical conversion, Seventeen 2 door saloons were converted into estate form by Nairobi coach builders Cassini and Hughes for the Kenyan Police. Only the Estate shown below is known to survive and now resides in England.

And this is how Ford originally thought it should look, (clay model)

...as this super Golf dishes out a mammoth 650 horsepower and over 530 ft lbs of torque from the 6.0L biturbo W12 it's got mounted behind the front seats. All that juice flows through a 6-speed automatic to the rear wheels...

Not really a "wagon" but still pretty wacky!

sweet mother of god!

*rushes off to buy fist fulls of lotto tickets*

BMW have announced the spring (September in Europe) release date for the M5 Estate - and yes, it will be fitted with the same 507bhp V10 as the saloon *drools*

My dream car (Audi RS4 Avant) finally has some competition. :(

I can't believe I haven't mentioned this one before!

The wackiest of all wacky wagons! the..(drumroll please)

Lightburn Zeta Utility!

zeta_300_01.jpg

Probably one of the worst concieved ideas to ever come out of Australia (Adelaide actually) they were the brainchild of a bloke by the name of Harold Lightburn who owned a company that made whitegoods and decided to take on the big boys with his "second car" for aussies.

Despite the fact that the idea looked good on paper, the fibreglass bodies were dismal in build quality, the 2 stroke 2 cyl air cooled engine was woefully underpowered and don't get me started on the chaindrive setup to the rear wheels (I'm serious!!!)

To top it all off, even though it is shaped like a wagon, there was no rear access to the vehicle and to get anything in or out of the back, the front seats had to be removed because they couldn't be folded down! No wonder there were only about 360 of them made.

If you want a real giggle - google the Lightburn Zeta Sports! They only made 28 of those and the world is still glad they stopped when they did :)

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
